Self-Documenting Code
Noun · Slang & Abbreviations
Definitions
Code written clearly enough through structure, naming, and small focused logic that its purpose is understandable with minimal explanatory comments. The term is usually aspirational, not permission to skip all documentation.
In plain English: Code that is clear enough to understand mostly from how it is written.
Example: "If the function were actually self-documenting code, we wouldn't need a meeting to decode it."
