Hi. Hello. Someone tried to scold me for moving a default branch from master to main by being very pedantic with the Oxford Dictionary so I just said, "Yeah well there are some men I call master so when I see the word I get an awkward chub," and immediately won the argument.

@dkub I mean you don't even gotta be pedantic about it. "Master" makes no sense and neither does "main" we should be using "trunk" because trunks actually have branches
Show threadSteve PurcellMar 16
@thickurt @dkub yeah, but trunks are also chub territory
Show threadRobMar 16
@thickurt @dkub but if we use trunk people will think you're using Subversion 🤣🫠

@robdaemon @dkub I know you prefer Domversion but whatever

@dkub

Well ackshually, master is clearly a reference to a master record, meaning that master is a branch for releases, and releases only. And main is also clearly the "principal" branch, as in "most important", so it is where the code goes between releases. 🤐

@dkub Years ago I had a co-worker suggest (on Teams) we change "whitelist/blacklist" to "allowlist/blocklist".

I was confused, because I didn't think there was a racial connotation, so I spent about 30 minutes quietly digging through the etymology of the phrase and began a carefully constructed response about how it "wasn't offensive" and "here's the historical context..." etc.

While writing my reply, I stopped and thought, "Maybe this doesn't matter and I should just stfu." and deleted it.

@dkub I try to remember that moment when I start feeling the urge to argue anything. It really is that easy to choose your battles.
