   Maybe I'm alone in this, but as someone who is in tech, I don't know what CI is, and I don't think it's unreasonable to expect it to have an expansion within the article the first time you use it...

   AI is in the cultural zeitgeist, but you gotta expand most other things at least once.

      "AI is in the cultural zeitgeist"

      Within the engineering tech sphere, CI/CD have also been terms that have been standard for at least a decade now.

      You would probably be rejected from most interviews at the first stage if you didn't vaguely know what they mean at this point.

      Linears entire product is tailored towards software engineers/engineers in general or people who work alongside engineers, so its not surprise their posts have a bit of assumed knowledge.

         I know what a CD (Compact Disk) is.

         (Continuous Integration, and Continuous Deployment, are fine if someone tells me what the letters literally stand for, but sorry for not being so tech-brained that I haven't memorized every possible TLA that's ever been used in tech).

            > haven’t memorized every possible TLA

            TLA or TLA+?
