I think that developers should know common accronyms of the primary 
programming language of the project, and it is totally reasonable to expect 
that they are.

And yes, UB is a very well known accronym in this context. In my experience, 
people who don't know the accronym don't know the concept either, so spelling 
it out wouldn't even help.

TBH, this one is on you.
