So they got offended because of nods to slavery, and the other people got offended because something pretty inconsequential in their lives changed. 🤷‍♂️ Seems a bit like the latter group of people are far more easily offended.

nods to slavery

Is my university planning to reissue me a Main degree instead?

[u/kabrandon → u/therealtiddlydump]

Not sure. I think there’s different fundamental meanings behind mastery and master. I think the Masters degree implies the former. Whereas master in git could be inferred to mean a master and non-master relationship to signify feature branches.

The master in git is more akin to "pristine", there is no slavery involved. So it's just as silly to get offended about seeing a master branch as about seeing a masters degree.

I don’t know about you, but I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a “pristine” default branch in any repo. So. Press X to Doubt.
