Wheelbarrow Pattern
Noun · Slang & Abbreviations
Definitions
A joking label for a clumsy solution that technically moves the load but in an awkward, manual, or low-leverage way. It is not a formal pattern so much as a critical metaphor for inefficiency.
In plain English: A clunky low-efficiency way of moving work from one place to another.
Example: "Polling ten endpoints sequentially is a wheelbarrow pattern solution to a batching problem."
