Duck raping

Definition

Monkey Patching.

History

Duck Raping is a phrase coined by Ryan Davis at RubyConf2007. The term is used by Ryan to describe the abusive use of Monkey Patching.

This is in contrast to Monkey Patching, which is used when the programmer is adding features or fixing minor bugs in the implementation.

Ryan Davis used the term in his presentation on 'Hurting Code for Fun and Profit'. This talk was also where the term 'Mentarbation' was made public.
