It's wild to me that people think asking for
"Continuous Integration (CI)"
in the first line of a paragraph of a long article is "going out of your way". It used to be the standard expectation for using shorthand.

It used to be a standard expectation, but that was before google or AI could have answered your question in less time and typing that your complaint on HN required. Especially when the author is writing a blog post for an audience that knows what CI is.
Do you want to be right, or do you want to learn?
I don't think it would occur to me to write out Continuous Integration because it's basically a nonsense term if you don't know what it means anyway, it's not any less opaque than just CI. The problem isn't the shorthand here, but yeah it's probably good to spell it out anyway so when someone googles it they have more confidence they've found the right thing.
