code grinder

code grinder n.  1. A {suit}-wearing minion of the sort
   hired in legion strength by banks and insurance companies to
   implement payroll packages in RPG and other such unspeakable
   horrors.  In its native habitat, the code grinder often removes the
   suit jacket to reveal an underplumage consisting of button-down
   shirt (starch optional) and a tie.  In times of dire stress, the
   sleeves (if long) may be rolled up and the tie loosened about half
   an inch.  It seldom helps.  The {code grinder}'s milieu is about
   as far from hackerdom as one can get and still touch a computer;
   the term connotes pity.  See {Real World}, {suit}.  2. Used
   of or to a hacker, a really serious slur on the person's creative
   ability; connotes a design style characterized by primitive
   technique, rule-boundedness, {brute force}, and utter lack of
   imagination.  Compare {card walloper}; contrast {hacker},
   {Real Programmer}.
