“To programmize” (verb)

Talking to someone who doesn't work in IT, and who isn't a native English speaker; She was talking about various people in software development, and referred to them doing "programmizing" (as opposed to "programming").

That's a great concept. "Progammizing" reminds me of "terrorizing". As in: before you have a bunch of processes involving paper and people and it all works. Then, some people come in and do some programmizing. Afterwards, nothing works, everything's slow, crashes, has bugs, loses data, you have to turn stuff off and on a lot....

P.S. I recently created a nerdy privacy-respecting tool called When Will I Run Out Of Money? It's available for free if you want to check it out.
