One rule we try to follow at Receipt AI: avoid acronyms.
We try not to use them anywhere - in code, documentation, or presentations.
Maybe a few universal ones like AI. Even those we try to keep to a minimum.
Our rule is simple:
If people have to pause and ask,
“what does that mean?”
It probably shouldn’t be there.
Acronyms often create a subtle but unhealthy culture inside companies.
The people who know them feel smart. Everyone else feels excluded.
That’s not efficiency.
It’s intellectual laziness disguised as sophistication.
Teams that tolerate it eventually pay the price: slower decisions, confusion, and missed opportunities.
We built Receipt AI with the same philosophy.
Software should be simple, obvious, and understandable.
No jargon. No unnecessary complexity.
Just tools that work.
