Despite the remark about confusing people over 50, a primary branch called "master" isn't exactly an unalterable ancient tradition in version control, either. "Trunk" was common in centralized VCSes. I had to get us

You don't need to use the individual evaluation of ICs, you use the overall success of the team in delivering whatever it's their job to deliver. If nobody but the manager is capable of evaluating that, somebody has really messed
