Plumber Code

Definitions

Practical connective code that moves data, handles integration edges, and keeps the pipes flowing without much glamour. In engineering slang, plumber code is essential infrastructure work that often gets less prestige than it deserves.
In plain English: Practical glue code that keeps systems connected and working.
Example: "Most of the migration was plumber code around auth, retries, and schema adapters, not the shiny product work leadership had imagined."
