Forcing master to main was a good faith exploit
- hdlothia 2y agoThat list is baffling, and I still think Master should have been renamed to Trunk instead. The me of a couple of years ago would probably have made some snarky comment about how DHH is complaining too much about some random list some one made and nobody uses but the last couple of years have shown me how quickly the turbo-woke (not to be confused with regular wokes) can turn fringe standards into mandatory guidelines. I don't think anyone will ever get fired or reprimanded for using black list but you can't say never anymore.
- pavel_lishin 2y ago> That list is baffling, and I still think Master should have been renamed to Trunk instead. Well, I think it should be painted blue.
- pavel_lishin 2y agoSorry, what's the exploit here? What harm was done to the author?
- squigz 2y agoNone. The author is just angry at the dang liberals.
- hdlothia 2y agoHave you seen the list of offensive words he linked to. The guidance says not to use the word brown bags to refer to a lunch meeting because black people discriminated against each other using brown paper bags 50 years ago. It's overreaching and thought policing to the max.

- pictur 2y agoI love these ridiculous articles that this guy writes as if he is telling very important things.
- lijok 2y agoWould you rather your ears be isolated from hearing differing opinions?
- mtndew4brkfst 2y agoDHH's entire personal brand is about sharing his awful, scornful, combative takes with the world whenever he has an incendiary thought. Has been for a long, long time.

- nataliste 2y agoTelling someone to "grow up" is ageist and dehumanizes little people. Being large or "mature" is normative. Implying that someone needs to "evolve" implies that simpler life forms are less valuable. You really should check your privilege and stop committing microagressions.
- lijok 2y agoOh man I remember when GitHub did the switch, for about 2 weeks I couldn’t figure out why my Actions workflows weren’t running on a new repo. I had copy/pasted the workflows from another repo and they were targeting the “master” branch but the new repo was using “main”.
- PufPufPuf 2y agoCompletely sane take on a hugely impactful threat to our current way of life. I would expect nothing less from DHH.
- pavel_lishin 2y agoHow is this hugely impactful, and how is it a threat?
