End User

Noun · Hacker Culture

Definitions

  1. The person who ultimately uses a product, feature, or system rather than the team that builds or administers it. In engineering culture the term matters because local technical convenience often diverges from what actually helps the end user.

    In plain English: The person who actually uses the product or system.

    Example: "The workflow was elegant for the backend team but miserable for the end user, which is why support tickets spiked immediately after launch."
