Easy. I think it would be a person who is writing accessor methods, connecting 
web forms based on some sort of evil over-planned monstrosity. In blue collar 
jobs they refer to this person as a "grunt." Teams with a flat-ish 
organizational structure don't usually have a comparable position. But 
sometimes they just outsource it, or if they have no self respect they hire 
"temps." If they do have self respect, they hire consultants, but at least then 
they have well paid grunts and they don't have to feel bad. After all the poor 
people taking these positions usually had dreams of being a programmer.
