What does TLA stand for?

Also: Mythical Man-Month -- great book. I recommend it to anyone, especially programmers and project managers. Not too technical. Fairly light read. Good content.

Three-letter acronym. Those technical acronyms CVs tend to be rife with (admittedly they come in non-three-letter varieties, too), e.g.: XML, CSS, PHP
But can you imagine explaining that PHP: Hypertext Processor stands for PHP: Hypertext Processor?
Piece of cake: It’s a recursive acronym.
