Meme Driven Development

Definitions

1. A mocking phrase for technical choices influenced more by jokes, hype, or online cultural momentum than by serious evaluation. It is often used when teams adopt tools, architectures, or product directions because they are socially fashionable.

   In plain English: Making technical decisions based on internet hype and jokes instead of careful reasoning.

   Example: "Switching the backend because of one viral thread was meme driven development, not strategy."
