      I understand, but we can also gradually transition to friendlier terms so that our very white very male tech bro culture can include some diversith.

      I’m going to try to make new git branches with “main” instead of “master”, now, and just not worry about it where I can’t change it.

      It’s a real issue to marginalized groups who would otherwise contribute. Less workers=less money. Less revenue=more layoffs. Seems like a real issue to me.

        Is it? Or is it a issue for twitter people? I’ve worked with many poc devs and this nonsense was a non issue.
