    This is like written IT shortcut like i18n or k8s. Just need to know first character, last character, and the length

        I mean, Kubernetes is a really stupid name for what it is, but I guess Docker was already taken. I’m going to make my own containerizing system and call it deghwI’, which is “helmsman” in Klingon.

        I disagree. I think anyone who’s worked with either will recognize i18n or k8s. They’re unambiguous, memorable, and search well. That’s more than can be said about most acronyms. The alternative for single words is to use just part of the word (like intrn or kube) and I think those are less memorable and more ambiguous.

    I’m reminded of the episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm when Larry got a doctor’s phone number and couldn’t read it.

        We’ve only recently started the change to e-prescriptions where you just have to show your ID card at the Pharmacy, but not all doctors do it yet.

        We still have a very large amount of old-school pill-doctors (as we call them here) that will write you one of these…

        You will get weirdly looked at at some pharmacies though. 😅
