Feature creature




[Possibly from slang "creature feature" for a horror movie] 1. One who loves to add features to designs or programs, perhaps at the expense of coherence, concision or taste.

2. Alternately, a mythical being that induces otherwise rational programmers to perpetrate such crocks.

See also feeping creaturism, creeping featurism.
