Code Tornado

Definitions

1. A violently fast-moving swirl of changes, breakage, and urgent activity concentrated around one technical area. In engineering slang, code tornado suggests high speed, poor visibility, and real risk to anything nearby.

   In plain English: A fast chaotic swirl of technical changes and breakage.

   Example: "The dependency upgrade became a code tornado that ripped through tests, build scripts, and type definitions before anyone could properly contain the blast radius."
