If I ever have my own company (no worries, won't ever happen!), I will establish the following rules:

  • It's forbidden to use TLAs to abbreviate team, tool or product names.
  • It's forbidden to use company-name abbreviations to prefix those team/tool/product abbreviates to avoid the TLA rule by making it a 4LA, 5LA or WTFLA.

@zhenech The other day I tested a chat-software from a colleague which had consumed all of our product docs. When I asked it about the meaning of "MTA", and it came back with "Mail Transfer Agent" instead of the redefinition of the term for some of our middle ware, that was a good sign ;)

@globalc not Mail Transport Agent? 🙃

@zhenech No. Would NIST or Wikipedia ever lie?

@globalc How about Message Transfer Agent then?

(Intentionally not commenting in the NIST part ;) )

@zhenech Well yes, that's what I was writing.
