right, scrappy is about implementing the bare minimum needed, keeping it small and simple, and mcgyver is about using what gives me the fastest results, even if that means hooking up wordpress to mongodb and using excel as the interface to input data.

FWIW I know a self-described scrappy who is definitely in the mcgyver category.

Hey, author here! Yes, that's how I see it as well.

incidentally, yesterday i saw "scrappy" used in a job description for the first time. i was unfamiliar with that term before reading your post.
