From a guy on a mailing list I'm on:
"I was just thinking how every run of invinicible programming prowess inevitably comes to an end and the phrase 'mojo crash' popped into my head. According to Google that doesn't seem to be in the current geek lexicon so I fancy trying to popularise it. Who's with me? :)
mojo crash:
Reaching the end of an apparently miraculous run of programming successes. When everything has been going right for a couple of weeks you know you're heading for a mojo crash.
example:
"Yeah, I've been coding for eighteen hours a day for the last three weeks and everything JUST WORKS! I know I'm headed for a serious mojo crash."
(See how I wrote the example in American to make it more credible? :) "
Applies to any circumstance when you realise you've had a run of luck & that it's bound to fail spectacularly soon.
Also Mojo Re-boot, required when you can't seem to break a run of bad luck.
Tell all your friends!
