Code Family

Definitions

1. A casual way to refer to a group of related modules, services, or tools that share lineage, patterns, or ownership. In engineering slang, it emphasizes resemblance and inheritance more than strict technical boundaries.

   In plain English: A related group of code components that belong together.

   Example: "The parser sat inside a whole code family of generators, validators, and formatters that all needed to move together during the migration."
