Or you could label your code as opiniated software. See:

A small quote:
<quote>
Rails is opinionated software. It eschews placing the old ideals of software in a primary
position. One of those ideals is flexibilityï¿½the notion that we should try to accommodate
as many approaches as possible, that we shouldn't pass judgement on one form of
development over another.
