Nesting Hell

Definitions

1. A piece of code with so many nested conditionals, loops, or callbacks that it becomes painful to read and reason about. The phrase points to complexity caused by excessive depth rather than raw size.

   In plain English: Code that is too deeply nested to read comfortably.

   Example: "This request handler is nesting hell; flatten the branches before adding more logic."
