There is one thing I don't like about htmx. It's that they like to use the HATEOAS acronym. It's a bad acronym in every conceivable way.

They HATEOAS because they Hain'tOAS.
Why?
- Starts with HATE
- It's way too long and not catchy. What it refers to is a convoluted long thing too.
- This is the killer: it's not so mainstream that everybody knows it. People kind of took "REST" and left the rest. Even REST isn't usually real REST in practice. It just means json api nowadays.
