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. :)
