We all jiggle bits of code around to some extent. I doubt everyone here is writing their own lang/interpreter/compiler/std library/network stack. I think the offending part is not understanding what the hell you're jiggling around.

BTW as bad as the "jiggle programmer" there's the "superenterprise software engineer" who can't ship code because they spend way too much time writing stuff from scratch, making sure it follows all the good principles and software patterns, and that the code is super optimal and covers all edge cases.
