That’s the one I naturally came up with too.

It is changing, albeit slowly. In git the default branch was changed from master to main.

In high availability we use primary and secondary, or many other versions of the same idea (main/secondary, etc).

Not sure how disks are handled these days but I haven’t seen the master/slave terminology in those since my first CD burner

We’re already using that on the org chart.

I’ve seen “Domain Controller” and “Subscriber” for the sake of plausible deniability.

In the case of SPI, they want to keep intact the names MISO (master in, slave out) and MOSI. So they use things like “Main” and “Sub”.

I think manger / worker is a pretty easy one. It gets hard though because both of these terms are already used for class names everywhere.

Main/secondary

Prime/secondary/tertiary etc

That’s all fine and good for computer science, but if Master/Slave terminology is canceled, who’s going to tell the philosophy department?

I’m not sure we even need that terminology at this point… I knew it from hard drives but I’m either 1) dealing with way more than two drives, or 2) using Linux which I don’t even think of as a master/slave so much as a fuck-you-mount-me-or-not-I-don’t-care partitions.

I’m not really sure where else it’s used, especially since everything else seems to just be primary/secondary. But I’m no CS major so IDK.

My user name on all my PC’s(non root) is literally Master, my PC’s are all Slave, slave1, slave2. I will fight to keep them that way. I am also extremely anti slavery for sentient creatures. Words matter in the context of their intent. Dumbing down of the language by forcing alternate uses of a word to mean something other than its obvious intended use is evidence of dilusional minds. Pure and simple, they don’t deserve a seat at the table.
