From The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003) [jargon]:
noddy
/nod'ee/, adj.
[UK: from the children's books]
1. Small and un-useful, but demonstrating a point. Noddy programs are often
written by people learning a new language or system. The archetypal noddy
program is {hello world}. Noddy code may be used to demonstrate a feature
or bug of a compiler. May be used of real hardware or software to imply
that it isn't worth using. ?This editor's a bit noddy.?
2. A program that is more or less instant to produce. In this use, the term
does not necessarily connote uselessness, but describes a {hack}
sufficiently trivial that it can be written and debugged while carrying on
(and during the space of) a normal conversation. ?I'll just throw together
a noddy {awk} script to dump all the first fields.? In North America this
might be called a {mickey mouse program}. See {toy program}.
