code monkey: n 1. A person only capable of grinding out code, but unable to perform
the higher-primate tasks of software architecture, analysis, and design.
Mildly insulting. Often applied to the most junior people on a programming
team. 2. Anyone who writes code for a living; a programmer. 3. A self-deprecating way of denying responsibility for a
management decision, or of complaining about having
to live with such decisions. As in “Don't ask me why we need to
write a compiler in COBOL, I'm just a code monkey.”
