A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

If "Master/Slave" terminology in computing sounds bad now, why not change it to "Dom/Sub"? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

It sounds way less offensive to those who decry the original terminology's problematic roots but still keeps its meaning intact.

you don't work on main/master, you make a branch to work in, and then merge your changes back into master/main

Respectfully, I can do whatever the fuck I want. That's the point of git. If I want to branch my way down to a stack overflow due to running out of free memory my system will very happily let me do that.
