Same here. It's my 23rd year as a software engineer and I'm lucky to be a part of this crowd. Tonnes of tolerant, talented, brilliant people.
Being tolerant doesn't however doesn't mean we like being subjected to bullshit like the master -> main change.
- abenga 3y agoIt's just writing a shorter word. Why does it bug you so much. Unless you want to make bigger changes to society to counter the effects of racism instead? Cause we'd like that.
- bitcharmer 3y agoIt bugs me because no one asked about this and it's purely virtue signalling. Not only that, it implies that black people are unable to contextualise vocabulary.
- abenga 3y agoWhat would you have people do instead that is actually helping and not virtue signaling?
- bitcharmer 3y agoThere's already plenty of affirmative action being taken. We have black history month everywhere now, minorities are getting much better representation in the media. Please don't pretend nothing positive is happening and we have to change master to main at all cost or all hope is lost. Also, this is predominantly American problem but it's shoved down our throats here in Europe like our "wealth" was built on the back of slaves. I'm Polish, can you imagine how ridiculous this is becoming from our perspective?
