a Blue Screen

The three F’s are:

1. Fix it

2. Fake it

3. F–k it*

These represent your primary options when faced with a new requirement or bug in the course of a hard-pressed IT project. You can:

1. Deem the issue is important enough to address head on and outright fix
2. Decide this is a superficial request, and give a like facsimile of a working solution in a fraction of the time (and potentially fix at a later date)
3. Deem the request entirely unworthy of attention at present time, and ignore all mentions of said issue.

Term coined originally by Stephen Goddard.

* Term 3 is toned down to PG level.
