I grew up in the 80's, BBSed in the 90's, ran a dating website for ravers in the early 00's, worked for playboy in the late 00's, and have worked for LinkedIn since the early 10's. It's been a storied life.
Maybe it's unique to me as a sysadmin previously and now as an SRE, but I quite enjoy gluing things together. Something about taking stuff that doesn't interoperate directly and forcing it to do so is elegant in its own…
I always referred to this practice as “tarpitting”, I was surprised to see nobody else here does!
