Code as Craft

Definitions

A view of software development as a skilled craft shaped by discipline, repetition, care, and continuous improvement rather than only abstract engineering process. The phrase emphasizes mastery and workmanship in everyday code.
In plain English: The idea that writing code is a craft built through care and practice.
Example: "Treating code as craft changed how the team approached reviews: less as gatekeeping and more as shared improvement of the work itself."
