Line 1:
Northeastern US residents sometimes use the term "Cowboy" derogatorily to mean reckless or irresponsible. Sticking the word "Cowboy" in front of the word "Coding" doesn't make it a software development philosophy. It is a [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia_is_not_a_dictionary#Neologisms|Neologism]] - it just means the same thing as "Cowboy-anything" but applied to code. To the degree that the article claims to be more than a clever term, it is a hoax.
 
The first attempt to delete this article failed because Google has roughly 270 hits on "Cowboy Coding." I could not find *any* that are noteworthy. Most link to this article as their source! Wikipedia has a [[Wikipedia:No_original_research|No Original Research]] policy which this article clearly violates.
