Like JSON? I think for some acronyms, JSON and JWT included, those are their "proper" names, with the expanded name being just a curious historical note.

- TOGoS 7y agoThen at least link the first instance to the Wikipedia page or something. After reading the first couple of paragraphs I had no idea what this article was about.
- cjf4 7y agoI agree for JSON, not JWT.
- Sharlin 7y agoI had never heard of JWT and I definitely know what JSON is. I don’t think they’re anywhere near each other in ubiquity.
- hombre_fatal 7y agoI'd say it's good writing to link to the wiki entry for a less common concept like JWT in the first paragraph, right next to where they first mention it. It's definitely not ubiquitous like JSON, SQL, or FBI.
- icebraining 7y agoRight, linking to the wiki makes sense. I just don't think expanding the name gives you anything.
