    If it uses master and it’s too much trouble to get people to switch. It stays master until we can coordinate.

    If I’m starting a new project I use main.

    Why?

    It doesn’t take much to do and it avoids any misunderstandings or arguments and we’ve got work to do. I don’t particular care if you guys are “stuck” on master. If that’s what it is and everyone wants to keep it that way, I don’t have enough will to change it. If it’s under my control, I will change it.

      You know what else avoids arguments? Not hiring people who start arguments over token bullshit.

        I see mostly people defending master starting arguments. I’ve never seen anyone pushing for main get even half as mad as some of the people coming up with a reason why it’s stupid. Like, holy shit guys, just don’t change it and move on, why be so mad about it?

        I will just say that things in tech change a lot in general. That’s just the nature of it.

        If I can do one small thing that makes people feel better, then why wouldn’t I do it?

        I don’t necessarily see that as a connection to a measure of competency. It seems you do and you probably have good reasons to believe so and I would say that I haven’t experienced that.
