To cover your big warm fuzzy secret heart.

This shirt is for coders like ours here at ThinkGeek World Domination HQ who embrace their monkey-ness. Who climb to the tops of the tallest trees to announce it to the world. Who go bananas for some good code. In terms of the Jargon File definition, we're talking about definitions 2 and 3. We dream of a day when 1 is no longer in use.

code monkey: n
  1. A person only capable of grinding out code, but unable to perform the higher-primate tasks of software architecture, analysis, and design. Mildly insulting. Often applied to the most junior people on a programming team.
  2. Anyone who writes code for a living; a programmer.
  3. A self-deprecating way of denying responsibility for a management decision, or of complaining about having to live with such decisions. As in "Don't ask me why we need to write a compiler in COBOL, I'm just a code monkey."

Of course, it's easy to embrace your simian side when your have Timmy as your mascot. More difficult for many corporate codemonkeys, probably. You probably often have to keep your monkey-ness under a bushel. Or, rather, a barrel. Right. Enough with the monkey business. We're here to help you let it out. Subtly. In the ThinkGeek way. You want to do it more boldly, feel free to add in a Screaming Monkey Slingshot to that order.
