I've seen "worker", "main", "parent/child", and "primary/replica" used as a replacement depending on the context.

I've seen "worker", "main", "parent/child", and "primary/replica" used as a replacement depending on the context.
- choko 6y agoI've heard complains from some in various tech industries that parent/child is non-inclusive. I'm not saying I think it should be changed, but doesn't the logic of the people advocating these changes demand that all terms be as inclusive as possible?
- hunter2_ 6y agoFor that matter, "worker" implies something along the lines of "working class" or "unskilled laborer" which isn't all that friendly of a metaphor either. Kind of tough to think of a way to express "doesn't think for onesself, just takes orders" without being mean.
