Failure Culture
Noun · Hacker Culture
Definitions
The norms a team has around how failures are discussed, remembered, punished, or learned from. Failure culture determines whether problems get surfaced early or hidden until they are too large to ignore.
In plain English: The culture around how a group reacts to and learns from failure.
Example: "Their failure culture improved once postmortems stopped asking who embarrassed the team and started asking what signals had been ignored and why."
