Code Generation Culture

Definitions

1. The habits and expectations a team develops around using generated code, whether from templates, compilers, or AI systems. The phrase matters because generated code changes review patterns, ownership, and the boundary between writing and assembling software.

   In plain English: The culture around how a team uses and manages generated code.

   Example: "Their code generation culture matured once they stopped treating generated output as unquestionable and started reviewing the generator and the interfaces instead."
