I can’t stand this acronym. Why would you ever create an acronym where the first 4 letters are “HATE”? All I ever hear in my head when I read that is “HateOS”
edit: ALSO, whoever made went particularly out of their way to make it so — typically words like “as” and “the” aren’t included in acronyms. Arrgghh it grinds my gears so much!
I actually can't find a source for the acronym's origin. The full phrase comes from Roy Fielding's PhD Thesis, "Architectural Styles and the Design of Network-based Software Architectures": https://ics.uci.edu/~fielding/pubs/dissertation/fielding_dis...
I'd love a source on the acronym if someone has it.
Everyone at my workplace always pronounced it "HateOS", yeah... at least it's memorable.
