QUOTE Words to be avoided include "slave", with suggested substitutions such as secondary, subordinate, replica or follower, and "blacklist", for which the replacements could be blocklist or denylist. The proposal also noted that "non-inclusive terminology" has a "distracting effect" and "injures developer efficiency." And here I thought it's Orwellian newspeak that has a distracting effect and injures developer efficiency. |
