Comment Culture

Definitions

1. The shared tone and habits a team has around comments in code reviews, docs, and discussions. Healthy comment culture makes feedback direct but useful, while unhealthy comment culture turns review into performance or hostility.

   In plain English: The team culture around how comments and feedback are written.

   Example: "Their comment culture improved when reviewers started explaining why a change was risky instead of dropping cryptic one-line objections."
