Code Marathon

Definitions

1. A long sustained stretch of coding, debugging, or shipping effort that requires endurance more than quick cleverness. In engineering slang, code marathons can be productive, but they also hint at planning or resourcing problems when they become normal.

   In plain English: A long intense stretch of coding work that takes endurance.

   Example: "Release week turned into a code marathon of fixes, migration checks, and late-night verification because too much risk had been deferred to the end."
