> digital plumbers.

I had this realization over last one year, after 17 years of professional life.

Most of my work these days involves plumbing together right libraries and data pipelines to automate business processes. Sometimes I need to fix an existing plumbing to plug a leak here and there.

Now my Twitter handle says Plumber

I’ve always liked Joel Spolsky’s “duct-tape programmer”.

IIRC the meaning of that was specifically someone that was willing to bodge things in order to ship - someone that prioritised getting it done over getting it "done right" (whatever that means). I think it's a little different from the "plumber" label.

FWIW I like both terms. I just wouldn't use them interchangeably. :)
