Thank you for saying this! I see stuff like this a lot here on HN and I almost never know what it means. A16z? Fuck if I know what that is.

It reminds me of the terrible sports video game naming - NBA2k22. I get Y2K was fewer characters than fully typing out "year 2000," so it kind of made sense. But 2k22 is the same number of characters as "2022". What is being saved here? It just creates confusion without adding anything useful.

It's called 2k in common parlance now, doesn't make sense from a branding perspective to change it
