TWAIN is still my favorite
Technology without an interesting name

YAML is also good - yet another markup language.

Fun fact, "Yet another X" is one of the oldest software engineering memes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yet_another

There are a lot of "Yet another" acronyms out there

I have no idea. I see 13 upvotes on kbin, but then again kbin doesn’t federate downvotes, and I see the score as -16 on lemmy.sdf.org . What I do know is that Lemmy has been plaguing quite a bit of things lately.

I'm pretty sure NPM is Node Package Manager.
XNA, Microsoft's C# based game dev framework, stood for XNA is Not Acronymed.
Problem is, XNA is an acronym since it is correctly initialized and can be pronounced
