deadlinepoet

/ˈdɛdlaɪn ˈpəʊɪt/nounVerified New

Also in: Deadlinedichter (Deutsch) · plazopoeta (Español) · échéanpoète (Français)

A colleague who produces their finest work in the final hours before a deadline, by choice or by curse.

The deadlinepoet's output is mediocre for three weeks and sublime in the last six hours. Their process terrifies planners and their results silence them. Every team has one, and no schedule has ever changed them.

Etym. — deadline + poet — the artist whose muse is the clock.

Rel. — urgentosis · estimatemoat
