  • I think they’re just uncomfortable with the word “master”

    1 person over at Microsoft complained, and they moved mountains for this person to replace master with main. It sounds like a joke, but it’s not.

    and that seems completely reasonable to me

    No it doesn’t. Why does an entire industry need to flip over, because of a single person? Like the ability of changing the master branch for yourself should have been enough. Changing the default over on Github to strong-arm the rest of the world is disgusting behaviour. Which is why I’m sticking to master wherever I can.

    especially when they’re people from a group which has been subjected to slavery.

    That is literally every group… Every group has been slaves (and slavers) at some point in time. That’s not a good argument.











  • Structlog actually bit me like this! Had a dict that I manipulated:

    expectation spoilers

    expected a copy, but actually modified the original dict. Just did a my_dict.copy() (IIRC - I don’t remember whether I needed a deep copy or not)

    edit: goeie shit, Bas! Leer je de studenten wel debuggen en unit testing? Dat was echt gemis toen ik klaar was bij de HU, en vooral unit testen zou veel hebben geholpen tijdens het maken van mijn code.
