   "Gambiarra" is a Brazilian Portuguese word that it's hard to explain, because it's a way of thinking embodied into things, as a way of overcome problems without care about the elegance of the solution; at the same time, with a lot of creativity.

   There is an alternative to a Object Oriented Programming (POO in portuguese - Programação Orientada a Objetos) which is POG - Programação Orientada a Gambiarra.

   That's more like my way of programming.

     We are real life gnomes. We tinker with stuff and do things other people think impossible.

     @ranoya In English I sometimes here "duct tape programming" and similar, don't know if there's a popular official-methodology-sounding spoof initialism.

     In Belgium they called an improvised solution from repurposed and unlikely materiel a "Brussels Solution".

     @clacke In France it’s the “Système D” where “D” stands for “Débrouille” = resourcefulness

     @hypolite Interesting. I wonder if Poettering knew that.

     @hypolite Did French people make fun of the name when systemd came out?

     @clacke I doubt it, it is rarely something to be proud of, it mainly shows you were lacking the time, the means and/or the skills to do it correctly.

     There's another "System D", a formal language within Dependent Haskell, corresponding to Haskell's "System F".

     I'm noting that 2/4 authors have French-sounding names, so I'm guessing there's a measure of self-deprecating humor in there. 😃
