If you have a GitHub account, you can submit a pull request to any json in the data folder.

Tip

Write out the full name when you want to introduce a term (with the acronym in brackets). Use only the acronym after this. Example:

Companies don’t usually talk about FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out). Instead, they use phrases such as “shiny object syndrome” and “market expectations.” Google is a great example of how FOMO can creep in.

FOMO Is Disastrous for Company Strategies by Ruben Ugarte

If you are only going to use the acronym once, maybe don't use it at all and rely on the whole expression instead.

Add RICE

Hello,

It would be nice to add RICE

Ricing comes from the car terminology "ricing" or "RICEing". In the car world, RICE stands for Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancement. When you put a scoop on your car (that doesn't lead to a cold air intake) or a big spoiler (which won't make a difference), you're ricing. The idea is to increase its perceived performance through cosmetics.

Example of a riced car:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rice_burner

In the Linux world we use it to often derisively mock tasteless desktop "bling" that looks really tacky. Burn My Windows fits this perfectly. It's a fun extension though and that's what matters. I use it.

Add RCE

Hello,

A RCE means Remote Code Execution. This one should not be missed. Let's add it!

Thank you

Add DAE

DAE means Does Anyone Else and here is an example and usage ""DAE think this language is confusing????"

Add DX

Hello,

DX stands for Developer Experience. It is UX for our friendly devs. Friction-less installation, readability, documentation and points improving DX.

example: near/near-explorer#803

Cheers,

Add MVC and MVVM

Since we just merged MVC (cf #92) we could also add other design patterns like MVP and MVVM.

Note that we already have an entry for MVP (i.e. Most Valuable Product).

While we should be able to have both, I think we could group those design patterns together.

Should we add companies?

Hello,

I know that it is quite common to use GH for GitHub and SO for Stack Overflow. SO is a common acronym from Significant Other (as "love partner"), so I think it could be useful to put it here.

Any opinions?

Add SE/SWE/SRE

Hi!

We can three more:

SE: Software Engineer or System Engineer
SWE: SoftWare Engineer
SRE: Site Reliability Engineer

Thank you

PEBCAK definition is for PEBKAC

Hello
I just discovered that the definition of PEBCAK was swapped for PEBKAC, which has been cross-checked from this source.

Is it possible for me to fix it and add some variant of PEBCAK? even though it means the same

Should we add organization and people?

Hello,

I wonder whether we should add organization like the FSF (Free Software Foundation) and the OSI (Open Source Initiative) and famous FOSS people like RMS (Richard Matthew Stallman) and ESR (Eric S. Raymond).

Cheers,

Create bots to help people on social network

calling !fossca AoA should print Analysis of Alternatives with a direct link to the GitHub page (see #48)

fossca or whatever the botname is.

Social network platform could be: Reddit (/r/programming, /r/programmerhumor etc.), HN, Twitter, Mastodon, Slack bot, Google Chat, Discord bot, etc.

Add TFA and DAG

TFA is "The Fine Article"; essentially this HN submission. DAG is "Directed Acyclic Graph"; a graph with directed edges and no cycles.

Add ADR, AD, AKM, and ASR

Hello fellow,

Can we add ADR, AD, AKM and ASR?

An Architectural Decision (AD) is a software design choice that addresses a functional or non-functional requirement that is architecturally significant. An Architecturally Significant Requirement (ASR) is a requirement that has a measurable effect on a software system’s architecture and quality. An Architectural Decision Record (ADR) captures a single AD, such as often done when writing personal notes or meeting minutes; the collection of ADRs created and maintained in a project constitute its decision log. All these are within the topic of Architectural Knowledge Management (AKM).

Thank you!
