Code Kata
Noun · Hacker Culture
Definitions
A small, repeatable programming exercise used to practice a particular technique, design move, or problem-solving pattern. Like martial arts kata, the point is deliberate repetition to build fluency rather than to produce something novel.
In plain English: A short coding exercise you repeat to build skill and confidence.
Example: "I use the string calculator code kata when teaching junior devs test-driven development."
