Twitter removing "master", "slave", and "blacklist" from computer code

[DFS Horn]

Twitter and JPMorgan are removing 'master,' 'slave' and 'blacklist' from their code

https://edition.cnn.com/2020/07/03/tech/twitter-jpmorgan-slave-master-coding/index.html

I agree those terms are horrible in a certain context. But as a programmer, I can assure you no one uses those terms in a derogatory way.

Also, if you are going to get rid of them, can we think about it for a second. Because the replacements of "leader" and "follower" are just plain dumb. Lol
