Any time spent on nonsense like this is valuable time lost on real issues.
No we need to replace all industry standard terminology and acronyms every few years or so to keep datasheets unintelligible. Shop teachers need to be able to call their students stupid for not knowing that “tension” used to mean “voltage” 90 years ago.
It still bugs me that the old drive connections are called PATA now and not IDE.

Like new coke, so then we got coke classic
Yes PATA IDE was the full old term. Now we have SATA ( SCSI ? or IDE? i dont remember ) .
PATA = Parallel - ATA SATA = Serial - ATA
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.
Ah yes we must be sure to continue making time for all our meetings and reports everyone!!
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.
