I do not remember seeing this question answered.

The abbreviation POC had confused me when I first saw it.  I think that
the recent use of POC in our context is for 'proof of concept'.

Use of that abbreviation is uncommon to my knowledge in English even in
the context of software development.  However, my experience may be
lacking.

I personally try to minimise my use of abbreviations where I think that
some expected readers may not know them.  I try to give them as a
parenthetical to the full term in first use when I need an abbreviation to
avoid excessive repetition.  I understand that most people would not take
the time to be as careful as I try to be when writing.
