I haven't used master as the name of the primary branch for years across multiple companies.

Sooner or later, y'all are going to be outdated.

Glad I don't work with people that would fire people for calling out a hostile workplace. FYI that's illegal...

As if that's the point?

What do you think a hostile workplace is? Do you think being consistently subjected to verbiage that negatively impacts your mental health is a good thing?

Seems odd to me that so many people want to hold onto things that hurt other people and justify it by saying it doesn't solve anything despite the fact that those people are telling you that it will help them.

This is a non sequitur strawman.

> You add to the hurt of this world in the name of victims who would rather you do something more useful.

Wrong. Maybe try talking to people that don't want that kind of verbiage instead of making bad assumptions. Removing terminology associated with slavery has high support among those that actually were descendants of slaves.

> This is about you, not about them.

As such, this sounds like projection.

That's not even the worse part. The refusal to make a change that costs you nothing in order to stick it to people you don't like is much worse and indicates all sorts of behaviors you do not want on your team.

Their comment in no way implies that

It's bizarre how your comment is being downvoted when it's a very accurate description of many modern capitalistic societies.

Especially if we're talking about America, where companies literally try to fire you if you're sick or using up too much health care because of their bottom line. It doesn't even matter if it's illegal because unless they get caught there are no consequences and even if they do get caught, the consequences are often times so pathetic that it's worth taking the hit because the savings exceed the punishment.
