Stopped reading at the trigger warning. When did the whole internet become a joke from PCU?
Perhaps we need trigger warning trigger warnings for people who are triggered by trigger warnings?
I often do. It varies, this article is mostly fine. Some good points in general about organizations.
When you get to codes of conduct and changing the PRs to remove master/slave terminology you pretty much lose me. I guess a CoC is useful as it puts things in writing, but it still feels like PC overkill. If you aren't able to treat people with respect/professionalism then leave. Does it really need to be called out that you need to do that regardless of gender, race, sexual orientation, gender identity, etc...
To be quite frank, some of the things brought up just seem like they really aren't a big deal. Someone is harassing people then yes, absolutely go after them. Gender neutrality in your new press release, yeah sure that is sensible. Complaining because some database system uses master/slave terminology... does it really matter? Of course that goes both ways, something trivial can probably just be changed. Even if the only real reason is to get someone to quit complaining.
