gumware

Software that is like the underside of an old school desk's, gum stalactites—layer upon layer of contributions, some fresh, some fossilized, all stuck together in a way that mostly holds but isn’t exactly clean or intentional

Our poor software engineers had to deal with using a lot of gumware third-part libraries to make the application functional.
