Regardless, those terms don't translate well and only make sense to people from other languages and cultures if you translate it and add the history to it.
Primary and Replica accomplishes the same goal but don't get weighed down with "what is a slave" or "why is the master in control of the slave".
Yeah, its a little inconvenient, but making software more inclusive is a pretty worthy goal and it wont take long to update the majority of tools and texts.
Staying comfortable because its convenient, while it makes other people uncomfortable, is probably why software is still largely a white male industry.
White/Black are abstractions and adds one more hurdle for folks new to the industry - especially those from different languages and cultures where white != good and black != bad.
I think this is good for social reasons, but I hope the industry in general moves away from black/white because its just not the best way to convey these ideas, its just the one that stuck.
Ive used both for a while and WhatsApp is aweful, at least on iOS by all standards I can find. Signal feels like iMessage with reactions, voice recordings, and handy tools. WhatsApp feels dated, clunky, and for groups it gets very very messy fast with out reactions.
After reading the docs though I couldn't find any mention of tree-shaking or other things that would shrink the final bundle size. Any word on that front?

Also, what is the Authenticator? I couldn't find much with a cursory glance, just docs on the HOC.
I didn't totally get the capabilities at first glance but the combination of the announcement post, the GitHub repo and the comprehensive samples really helped.
Being able to run these and use secrets is HUGE. Being able to get a url to point a client at is probably my favorite feature. You can prototype something without ever worrying about localhost or throwaway deployments.
With so many DBaaS tools available, I'd like to know the best options for things like pricing, availability, features, tooling, monitoring, etc...
