Code Philosophy

Definitions

1. A person's or team's underlying beliefs about what good code is, what tradeoffs matter, and how software ought to be built. Code philosophy shapes naming, abstraction, testing, review style, and tolerance for complexity.

   In plain English: The underlying beliefs a person or team has about how code should be written.

   Example: "Their code philosophy favored boring readable solutions over clever abstractions, which made the system easier to maintain under stress."
