a11y means accessibility. Apparently this is a common enough jargon in that part of the industry.



Is the jargon going too far?


Expecting people to know this is going too far. I mean usually the acronym gives a hint, this is just straight up medieval druid vibes. "Oh the field which begins with a followed by our savior's pious 11 letters and then a y"


I the j4n going too far? English always had a dislike for long words, so turning long and s11d words into shorter forms is the next logical step in l6e evolution. Certainly beats having to spell w12e sauce in its entirety /s


At least w12e is easier to pronounce:-)


At some point LLMs will have a easier time understanding English than actual human beings.
