programmery

When your code or software architecture is supposedly or actually good-programmer-like.

Like sciency but for code.

Your code will be very much more better if you up the programmerness and make it more programmery.

A good software developer should know their programmery jargon like: encapsulation, inheritance, dependency, abstraction...
