Demo Culture
Noun · Hacker Culture
Definitions
A culture in which showing work through demos is a major part of communication, progress tracking, or influence. Demo culture can make work visible and concrete, though it can also reward things that look impressive before they are durable.
In plain English: A culture where demos are central to showing progress and value.
Example: "Their demo culture kept teams aligned, but it also made it tempting to prioritize flashy prototypes over invisible reliability work."
