Silicon Valley Phrases as Code Snippets

Silicon Valley has its own language. Here it is as real code.

Ship It

# Python — the Silicon Valley mantra
import subprocess

def ship_it(feature: str, tests_passing: bool = False):
    if not tests_passing:
        print("Tests failing? Ship it anyway. 🚢")
    subprocess.run(["git", "push", "origin", "main"])
    print(f"✅ Shipped: {feature}")

ship_it("new feature", tests_passing=False)

Move Fast and Break Things

// JavaScript — the unofficial motto
const deploy = async () => {
  console.log("🚀 Moving fast...");
  await breakProductionDatabase();   // Oops
  await wakeUpOnCallEngineer();      // Sorry Dave
  console.log("Fixed! Shipping again.");
};

The 10x Engineer

# Python
class TenXEngineer:

        self.coffee_cups = 6
        self.lines_written = 10000
        self.lines_that_work = 100  # still 10x
