Absolutely. I see people saying how "blame" has a terrible name and to use git praise instead. In the end, it's all irrelevant.
If you work in a company/team that has a blame and shame culture, you're going to have a bad time regardless of what the git command is called.

I can confirm this can happen even when only two people in the entire department use git or any form of version control at all. In fact I find it even more likely.
- groby_b 9y agoWell, since you have no emotions around it whatsoever, and a large chunk of the rest of us likes praise better than blame, there should be no objection to renaming it, right? The point is, on a subconscious level, names matter. Calling it praise instead of blame frames the entire issue, and primes a different kind of reaction. It's subtle, yes. The underlying data is the same, yes. But if a subtle change can make life better - or, at worst, keeps it the same - why not do it?
