I do not abbreviate. I haven't come across a case in programming where it has been beneficial (saving a few characters in a small project seems silly).

On the corporate side, I do abbreviate in naming conventions for templates, etc, since there is usually a hard character limit. Something like 2019 Net Promoter Score Survey Email Initial Email might become NPS_Survey_EM_1.
