Ask Hacker News(HN): Am I the only one that gets lost with acronyms?

I am rising this to see what is the general feeling about the arbitrary usage of acronyms across technical articles and documentation.

I've found this paragraph in the Google developer documentation style guide:

https://developers.google.com/style/abbreviations#spelling-out

Don't you feel this is not used at all? Am I the only one loosing a lot of time looking for the correct acronym meaning? Is there any resource collecting all or most of this technical acronyms like a technical dictionary or something?

Thanks!
