"Gambiarra" is a Brazilian Portuguese word that it's hard to explain, because it's a way of thinking embodied into things, as a way of overcome problems without care about the elegance of the solution; at the same time, with a lot of creativity.

There is an alternative to a Object Oriented Programming (POO in portuguese - Programação Orientada a Objetos) which is POG - Programação Orientada a Gambiarra.

That's more like my way of programming.

@ranoya @robcee Google did a great job. I thought “duct tape”
@sayrer @ranoya @robcee The way I write, Kludge Oriented Programming is certainly appropriate.
@Virginicus @sayrer @ranoya currently in the process if adding more gambiarra to a particular pile of code as we speak.
