Totally tangential, but since I just recently found this out: character-number-character, like [k8s, a16z, a11y] means that 8/16/11 characters in the middle are replaced by their count. I was wondering why kubernetes would be such a long word, when you wrote k18s. Maybe it was just a typo on your end, and this system is totally obvious.

- layer8 2y agoThese are called numerical contractions [0] and are fairly well-known, in particular i18n and a11y. Another one that used to be well-known is s9y for Serendipity [1].

- manmal 2y agoI brought it up because GP had k18s.
- sophacles 2y agoIt's kubernetes, and either a typo or a muscle memory confusion with i18n (internationalization).
