Years ago I realized I was the only person doing software (and original electronic hardware) in a group of 10 people; in addition the larger organization I saw was mostly mechanical engineers. I imagined the term "programmer in a corner syndrome", to describe, among other things, the realization that one had worked for years and not one person had looked at one line of your code in all that time. (In fairness, I primarily imagined the term, not so much felt it. I was hired in the first place because they first spent O(1million) on hardware and realized no one there could make it work.)
