2. What does lib mean to software developers?

Library

Software developers often use lib as shorthand for "library." In this context, a lib is a bundle of resources (such as scripts, drivers, databases, and fonts) that any program can load as needed. Loading resources from a lib allows a program to use those resources without including them in its own files (reducing the program's file size).

In many cases, libs are stored in a directory named Library or lib. You can learn more about libs at TechTerms.com.
