I attended a conference where the closing humor/keynote was about X driven development. The idea was to make funny ones like "caffeine driven development" or "google driven development". While the speaker was speaking, he had people enter their own thoughts on twitter at #qcondd. It was fun!

What ideas do people have here?

Heh, back in the early 80s I had pretty much coined the term Java-driven development to mean coffee goes in, software comes out. Of course, in the mid 90s Java started meaning something completely different.

In one of my less-than-favorite jobs, the company practiced fear-driven development. Not good.

I'd call my current gig pride-driven development. It's a good group that takes pride in their work.

My favorite is fun-driven development: software that one writes just because it's fun and interesting.

Buzzword Driven Development:
"Dude, my IoT big data product is written in haskell, proven with Coq, deployed on containerized microservices in the cloud AND funded by Peter Thiel, beat that!"

That sounds very much like Drivel-driven development (or DDD as the requisite TLA).

Ugh. Been there. I worked at one place where the philosophy was, "if you aren't crying, you aren't working hard enough" followed closely by "you don't need to sleep, do you?"

It took me about 6 weeks to get the hell out of there.
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
