If "Master/Slave" terminology in computing sounds bad now, why not change it to "Dom/Sub"?

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Is the code going to be offended? If so it's probably already offended by it's likely very bad code quality and lack of maintenance and repair.
Not the code, but some of your coworkers might potentially be offended.
Also good job with the ad hominem.
obviously the code wont be offended, i was just shitposting.
As for the code quality, it's not adhom, it's literally just true. Go ask any seasoned programmer, any senior dev, or any junior dev, they'll tell you it's all dogshit, except for the one pet project they have that hasn't ballooned into a mess yet.
And if you need proof, go load a website, tell me how clean and responsive it is. Surely it has no issues, and works on a cross platform standard. Oh wait it doesn't, surely that's do to a feature difference right? What's that? Spoofing the user agent fixes it? Hmm.
Oh, as a programmer myself I'm perfectly aware of how shitty most codebases are. It's just that the context you said this in implied that people who care about political correctness are worse programmers. Dont act like this wasn't on purpose and hide behind "shitposting".
oh, no, i just hate all programmers, no discrimination here lmao.
