On Acronyms… I was going to write a blog post on this, but decided I wouldn’t, a Twt is enough, and who knows maybe it’ll spark a Yarn 😅

Our industry (the tech / information technology / software / whatever) really sucks at communicating. Especially when it comes to speaking and writing in “acronyms”. God damnit, just stop it already 🤦‍♂️ Every time you start a new job anywhere, you have to learn a whole bunch of new 3-letter and 4-letter “words” and have to ask dumb questions like:

Umm sorry, dumb question, wtf does XYZ mean?!

Eventually you get used to the new lingo, sure, but that’s not the point. Why are we in tech so fucking lazy that we feel the need to speak (yes speak!) and write in 3-letter/4-letter “words”? Its almost as bad as these young whipper snappers (millennials? 🤔) exclaiming “LOLz” out-loud as if “Laughing out loud” suddenly got into the Oxford dictionary as a valid word you could speak! 😳 </rant>
