      My scrum master said that we need new tickets to update the git branches and pipelines to use main instead of master since master was a bad word.

      I asked him what his job title was again and there was a pause.

      Then he said we can’t say that we are going to groom the code base anymore.

      I agree that it’s pathetic. I’ve never been a fan of virtue signaling.

      In the other hand, “main” is easier to type than “master” (or “trunk,” for that matter). So I’ve made peace with it.

        Trunk would be better because of all the branches.

        Why not change “walkie talkie” to “radio phone”? It is so much cleaner.

        Because change for the sake of change always brings more work than what it saves.

        Why change something that works and everyone recognizes it? Of course, if this debate was there when the standard was created…

          no, new people learn git every day.

          ‘main’ is much clearer. It’s maybe not the same readability gain as ‘blocklist/allowlist’ over ‘blacklist/whitelist’, but it’s still there.
