What is Pola?
1.
Function: abbreviation
Policy Of Least Astonishment, a principle in interface design/engineering that existing practices and expectations should not be changed without enough prior notice and discussion, in order to avoid catching other colleagues with unexpected confusion and/or frustration.
Repeated violation of POLA is often a sign of a prima donna (someone with an egotistical "my way, or no way" attitude).
