Faith in Code
Noun · Hacker Culture
Definitions
A belief, sometimes justified and sometimes naïve, that software and automation will behave reliably or cleanly enough to solve messy human problems. The phrase is often used critically when teams overtrust code and underinvest in real-world safeguards.
In plain English: A strong belief that code will solve problems cleanly and reliably.
Example: "Their faith in code led them to automate a fragile approval workflow long before they had agreed on the business rules it was supposed to enforce."
