I think, of all the things to come out of BLM, this is one of the easiest to chalk up to “woke culture”. BUT I still support it 100%. What if you had to deal

I think, of all the things to come out of BLM, this is one of the easiest to chalk up to “woke culture”.
BUT I still support it 100%.
What if you had to deal with the worst thing that’s ever happened to your people every time you want to push code at work? No, I don’t think anyone’s out there getting upset every commit, any more than they do walking into Thomas Jefferson High School or seeing a confederate flag on a bumper sticker. Rather, it’s just a constant subtle reminder of how ingrained in society racial inequality is, and it must be exhausting.
I think an incredibly minor inconvenience (which can be changed back) is a very fair trade off.
- pseudalopex 6y agoPeople campaigned to replace master and slave in technology long before BLM.
- gkoberger 6y agoI know, however the change (in Git/GitHub, at least) was never made until now.
- jobigoud 6y agoThis is not master and slave. There are no slave branches. This is just seeing slavery everywhere. It's offensive to drag an innocuous homomym term (master/apprentice, master record) into the slavery lexical field.
