Rolling onto a client that uses “O11y” for observability almost gave me permanent damage.

This is the first time I've ever even heard of these kinds of abbreviations, what the hell even are they?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago (8 children)

They’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

🤷🏼‍♂️

And I thought that "8" had something to do with "netes" because it somewhat resembles the pronunciation 🤦‍♂️

Yeah 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).

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Man, I always found that weird but never looked it up...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I think I’d still rather type out internationalization even if it doesn’t fit on a slide lol.

Was it a file system workaround, or character limit in some older programming language?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

I 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.

My favorite is k3s. Named so that it is the same as k8s, but smaller.
