Comment (by Natalia Bidart):
Replying to [comment:2 David Smith]:
> The AP style book doesn't have hard code but does have hard line which
is likely close enough.
>
> "Hard line" (n)
> "Hard-liner" (n)
> "Hard-line" (adj.)
Thank you, David. I did look into those, and also considered "hard core"
as a similar reference. That said, given the majority of existing uses for
`hardcode`, particularly in the Django docs and other technical contexts,
I lean toward `hardcode` as the preferred form. Other sources like the
[https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/hardcode Cambridge
dictionary] also list it as a verb, which supports this choice.
