What does your team call short programs for manipulating records in a database? /u/filmgeekvt CSCQ protests reddit

I’m not sure what these types of programs are called outside of my company. Are they just… programs where you work? Does your team have a special name for them? I’m talking about the programs that don’t make your software do what it does, but the programs to fix errors in the database records, either from user error or bugs or just because the customer wants to change something in bulk that your software wasn’t designed to do.

My team refers to them as Quick Fixes, or Quickies, for short. I guess that’s because they are supposed to only take you an hour or so to write, but I take days to write some of them… probably because I’m still a novice, but also because I put probably way too much thought into these things so I don’t eff something up.
