    i agree that Microsoft is all talk and no action, but master needs explaining to new developers, while main does not. i, for one, feel that programming should be accessible to as many people as possible, and part of that is getting rid of jargon. the article seems to ignore that it’s not just GitHub that’s making the name change

      yeah, I guess you got a point. although I don’t think the article was ignoring it. rather, he’s making github an example of a bad actor. getting that message delivered was the objective here. and if other companies are doing it too, then that useless trend should die. the fakeness of companies goes beyond plus ultra nowadays
