Code Hazard
Noun · Slang & Abbreviations
Definitions
A piece of code or technical situation that creates material risk for correctness, security, or operability. In engineering slang, calling something a code hazard means the concern has moved beyond style preference into practical danger.
In plain English: A dangerous or risky part of the code or system.
Example: "The silent fallback to insecure defaults was not just ugly, it was a code hazard that needed immediate correction before the next release."
