TDD is acceptable as it is the top search result for TDD. PR on the other hand ...

Acronyms and abbreviations with well defined / well known alternative meanings really bug me.

Actually Acronyms and abbreviations bug me full stop.

Well, I googled both, which kinda bugs the flow of reading the article. Abbreviations bug me too.

Well, what about RAM, PC and so on? They might be an extreme example but if you are in the 'field' not using abbreviations may actually bug you more. Targeting audience is not an easy task.

It is often better to use “computer” and “memory”, especially when the distinction between L1/L2/L3/RAM/SSD/HDD is not the main topic.

The people who will benefit from this article most are people who lead OSS projects, so I don't think it's too much of a problem to use these.
