I used to get outraged at "Social Justice Warriors" demanding we rename everything with the slightest connotation of political incorrectness.
These days I'm too busy debating what colour we're going to paint the bike shed and shaving our herd of yaks to complain about the PC brigade forcing us to rename "blacklist" to "blocklist", which is actually more descriptive anyway.
This week we've been debating about whether to enforce double quotes or single quotes. I'm so far past caring about this shit that you could rename our primary git branch to "black_lives_matter" and I wouldn't bat an eyelid. If it makes someone happy, good for them. I just want to write software.
If I'm going to complain about naming, I'll complain about the >100 character long class names I keep finding in our codebase.
