You might be surprised to learn that there are many teams responsible for many things, and SRE is very likely a team different than the one that handles user experience decisions

Glancing over your comment history, this seems to be a trend for you; being intentionally abrasive/provocative for no reason. And you get downvoted to oblivion as a result, so I'd hope you understand by now that your comments aren't appreciated.

Obviously you're entitled to your opinion and welcome to share it, but don't be surprised when that begins having repercussions on your career, and don't be surprised when people on this forum in particular don't respond well to it.

HN is focused on technology and business, not so much politics or your personal opposition to making historically oppressed individuals feel more comfortable in tech, a traditionally white & male dominated space. If you're going to make reasoned arguments around why changing the name of a branch has a demonstrable negative impact on your life, please do. If not, this isn't the place to air your grievances with crass and unproductive comments.

Glancing at your comment history, I can see that you believe your opinions are edicts and nobody can express differing opinions without you pulling your quasi moralistic hall monitoring trope.

The fact is, tech is now under the influence of the woke mob, and I believe that's objectively bad for tech, the people who work in tech, and the prospect of solving REAL problems with tech.

Then just find a new career maybe? I sure as hell wouldn’t hire you at this point.
Re:GitHub was down by jtdev on Friday March 12, 2021 @05:12PM (#26441610)
No. I’ll continue to use my skills to solve real problems and voice my opposition to the groupthink mob.

Out of curiosity, what’s the last “real problem” you solved?
Re:GitHub was down by jtdev on Friday March 12, 2021 @08:21PM (#26443021)
They’re real enough problems that I’d be violating legal agreements by discussing them here... so no, I won’t be doing that.

Cool, you’ve said all you needed to. You can now safely be ignored by our entire industry as far as I’m concerned.

Enjoy your lack of vertical mobility!
