When you want to refer to the same concept over and over, it helps to give it a name.
Other examples: ajax, lamp, nosql, soa ... they may be buzzwords, but they are helpful. I don't see the problem here.
- nox_ 12y agoIsomorphism was already a word before Nodejitsu abused it. Your examples are acronyms and abbreviations. Nevermind that this concept is not even worth a name.
