Developer Numeronyms
What is a numeronym?
A numeronym is a shortened representation of a word or phrase, where all the letters except the first and last are replaced by a number representing the number of letters that get replaced. For example, the word “mouse” has 3 letters excluding its first and last letters, so its numeronym is m3e!
Numeronyms can come in other forms, too. Read more about them, or check out the list of developer numeronyms below!
