100x this. I am used to reading the traditional “write it in full once with a definition” for further use, eg. Breaking Bad (“BB”), but find lots of people on Hacker News just assume that everyone knows the acronym and several times a week find I have to search for a definition. It impedes understanding for what?

Hacker Newsers do this on purpose. Many believe that the fewer people that understand what they're saying, the smarter they will look.
