Coder Culture
Noun · Hacker Culture
Definitions
The broader culture surrounding people who code, including values, jokes, status signals, work habits, and shared frustrations. Coder culture can be energizing and creative, but it can also become exclusionary or self-mythologizing.
In plain English: The broader culture, habits, and identity of people who code.
Example: "The meetup had all the best parts of coder culture: curiosity, tool obsession, and people happily arguing about details that outsiders would never notice."
