    That smuglord in a recent thread that said “programming.dev doesn’t allow politics” certainly allows programming.dev’s nonpolitical politics to ooze anywhere I can see a programming.dev user address of origin. smuglord

          I don’t think I’ve seen anyone with a problem with the computing concept itself, they have a problem with the unnecessarily unpleasant and offensive nomenclature. There’s lots of ways to express a leader/follower dynamic that’s intuitively understandable. Hell, call them Dom/Sub drives if you want to.

          There’s just no good reason to invoke historical attrocity that’s still ongoing to describe a concept like this.
