firefighting
     
        1. What sysadmins have to do to correct sudden operational
        problems.  An opposite of hacking.  "Been hacking your new
        newsreader?"  "No, a power glitch hosed the network and I
        spent the whole afternoon fighting fires."
     
        2. The act of throwing lots of manpower and late nights at a
        project, especially to get it out before deadline.  See also
        {gang bang}, {Mongolian Hordes technique}; however, the term
        "firefighting" connotes that the effort is going into chasing
        bugs rather than adding features.
