AoC Means nothing outside of a very small circle.

You can improve the effectiveness and professionalism of your communications by writing out the full term the first time you use it. Then you can refer to the initialism in all subsequent uses. Like this:

Advent of Code (AoC).

I rewrote it to make a bit more sense to more people :) this was written by a friend of mine, and I enjoyed it, so I thought I'd share it.
