This happens a lot on HN. Personally I don’t mind it, but it is problematic for discussion. I enjoy the puzzle of guessing acronyms based on context. Apparently it’s part of my MBTI personality type... and I think I got this one right as “working as intended,” but I only have the context in this case because I share the OP’s opinion on the matter at hand. That illustrates the problem that using unidentifiable acronyms limits discussion by constraining your audience to those who already agree with you or share your expertise.
