Flash Mob Coding
Noun · Hacker Culture
Definitions
A playful phrase for many people suddenly gathering to code on something together, often spontaneously or as a lightly organized event. It is more community slang than formal practice, but it captures the energy of sudden shared making.
In plain English: A spontaneous group coding burst with many people joining in.
Example: "The open issue unexpectedly turned into flash mob coding once half the meetup opened laptops and started fixing docs, tests, and examples in parallel."
