Why haven't the prehistoric computer people choose something else. I like 'master' and 'puppet'. Totally non-offensive and very close to the metal

- takeda 6y agoI think a better is master-follower if they really must. But this is silly, I totally understand for PostgreSQL change from master-slave to master-standby. Standby is actually much better word to describe node's function. The change for the sake of word being offensive is just plain stupid. The use of it did not really encourage slavery based on race. So it feels less about offending then being reminded about horrible American's history. If they want to go all PC, what about use of word "kill"[1]?
