Pizza-Driven Development
Noun · Hacker Culture
Definitions
A joking phrase for sustained coding sessions fueled by free pizza, often during late-night pushes, hackathons, or crunch periods. It can sound affectionate, but it also hints at startup culture replacing healthy planning with snacks and overtime.
In plain English: Late coding sessions powered by takeout instead of a sane work plan.
Example: "The release weekend devolved into pizza-driven development by about 9 p.m."
