What Does 'Generated Code' Mean?

[ AI CODING ][ MACHINE CULTURE ]

FORCE: Machine CultureUNIVERSE: Vibe CodingCLUSTER: AI Coding

Code written by an AI model rather than typed by hand, now common enough to be its own tracked category distinct from human-authored code in review, ownership, and debt conversations.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"Half the codebase is generated code at this point, and nobody's tracking which half."

LORE & ORIGIN

Became a meaningful distinct category once teams needed to talk about the provenance of code, not just its content.
