Why should they have heard of it? I&#x27;ve been working in the software industry for almost 25 years, and while I think I may have seen a reference to the acronym before, I only know what it is because I just looked it up in order to make sense of this post. It sounds like a specialized bit of knowledge which would only be useful within a particular branch of computer systems engineering, nothing to do with computer science and by no means useful knowledge for all software engineers.
