Earlier quoted context omitted.

It's optimal IMO. Anything shorter is too ambiguous, anything longer is longer than it needs to be.

You think "SF" is ambiguous compared to SFO?

Yes especially when you consider things that aren't places.

Science Fiction being a big one.

There's Santa Fe, CDMX though. You may have decided that Santa Fe, NM is too small, but you may not have considered that one.

People don't normally call that SF though - but they could. And that's why SF ought to have a more narrow use than SFO.

"HuggingFace" might be the worst name I've ever heard of for an organization.

Cockroach was deemed worse by more people, but the company continues to succeed and haters dies off

Cockroach is so bad it's good

It's weird when people call the city "SFO". My first thought was, why is it in an airport?

If you travel at all for work, you find that some cities have a second airport miles outside the city, or there are lots of cities with two names. The airport codes for different cities then start to become synonyms for the cities because that's what you type when you're going there.

Other people have different reasons for doing things, everything is weird when you think about it, and when you think about it a little more you realize that means that nothing is weird, just different.

Well, I think it’s just as weird to refer to it as “the City,” as if there aren’t literally over 100 cities in the 9 Bay Area counties.

The number of times the hugging face emoji shows up in their documentation makes it feel oddly wholesome.

Gotta be terrible for SEO

Wow I definitely thought it was named after the facehugger from Alien.

"ATL" got lucky. I couldn't think of anything else to call our city in just three letters.

Plus our airport itself is huge. "Busiest airport in the world" (usually).
