Duct Tape Programmer?

I wouldn't normally think that duct tape and software engineering go very well together, but according to this article by the great Joel Spolsky, it may not be a bad thing.

I have been using more OO concepts in my programs lately but still I can help but feel like I'm always running behind schedule and can't always research the best way to code & design my projects. I end up with a lot of small LOB (Line Of Business) applications. Most of the time I have less than a few days to write these little programs and they just need to get produced and left alone.

So I seriously have to ask myself, am I too a duct tape programmer? And if so, is that really a bad thing? After all, real programmers ship!
