Primes

• Bricolage
  • In software it is the kludge and the glue script — a working integration chained from cron jobs, shell scripts, and spreadsheets that the next quarter demands.

    This sourceFrames information-systems development as bricolage/tinkering — local improvisation and recombination of available systems rather than top-down design — the software-kludge/glue-script register of the pattern.

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
