I’m a programmer but fuck I hate this so much.
Comment on Where did the abbreviation "w/" for "with" come from?
sarchar@programming.dev 8 months agoIn programmer lingo we’ll sometimes shorten words with the number of letters in between:
i18n (internationalization) and L10n (localization). I just learned of g11n (globalization), too.

This one is terrible IMO. A11y is ironically very inaccessible unless you’re aware of this unintuitive system.
Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
Now that I know it though, it’s a good way to distinguish between similar common abbreviations. For instance I know you don’t mean “Actually” even though I’m not sure what you do mean by A11y.

Accessibility I think :-)

Oh, really!? That’s a good one for me to learn! (Spouse is a quad who uses a lot of computer A11y aids)
