minus-squarecloud_herder@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up20·6 months agoRolling onto a client that uses “O11y” for observability almost gave me permanent damage.

minus-squarecloud_herder@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up13arrow-down1·6 months agoThey’re shorthand for long words you don’t want to type. You keep the first and last letter and replace the rest of the word with the number of characters you removed. Kubernetes ➡️ K8s Observability ➡️ O11y 🤷🏼♂️

minus-squareIthi@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·5 months agoYeah this is my first time learning this too and k8s is something that comes up almost daily for me. I18n is the only one that clues in for me (internationalization).
minus-squarecloud_herder@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·5 months agoI think I’d still rather type out internationalization even if it doesn’t fit on a slide lol.

minus-squareNithanim@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·5 months agoMan, I always found that weird but never looked it up…
minus-squarecloud_herder@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·5 months agoI thought the same until the barbarians came @me with O11y and one of my coworkers asked where the f they got “oh eleveny” from. I just thought 8 = netes.
