  • Look, I come from the hardware part of the industry and have never seen anyone talk about “master records” in software but always about master devices controlling slave devices. I’ll give you that, apparently “master records” are a thing (although I’m curious in what part of the industry). At the same time, it seems so niche and weird to me that there’s no point for me to use it. I’ll stick with main because it just makes more sense and seems a lot more intuitive to people than to think about master records and what not. You do you, I personally absolutely do not care at all what you go with in your projects.







  • I’m a developer. I use main/release/dev for new projects, because it just sounds better and is more intuitive to me honestly. “Master” doesn’t make much sense. Like what’s so “master” about a “master branch”? It’s just the main branch everything gets merged into. It doesn’t “control” branches. There’s no “master/slave” relationship there. So again, “master” was never really intuitive to me.

    Old projects don’t get relabeled, they stay master, cause relabeling the main branch could cause potential problems. That’s my two cents.




  • If this hacker group got in, then it’s extremely likely that other state sponsored hacker groups got in too (and they’re not making it public). If you work with highly sensitive information, then you should be responsible and make sure no one is getting in. I’m sorry, but it is how it is. Be glad these people got in now and are bringing it into the public eye. We should be much more responsible with these things and the public should expect AND demand responsibility from every single state institution working with highly sensitive data. I worked in cybersec.
