@dhh @jetbrains Thanks for the suggestion but I happen to disagree with this. This is not about performing rites or making the software appeal to someone. JetBrains has always been about helping our users, and some of our users are technical writers that are working within constraints like that.

@dhh @jetbrains Renaming all my master branches to fuhrer just for fun.

@dhh @jetbrains How many man-hours (yes man-hours) did we collectively waste renaming master to main? A prior state which offended precisely nobody. Should have just said no from the off and spared ourselves this pain later.

@dhh @jetbrains A grown man worried about gender OPTIONS he can disable is the most ridiculous thing I've seen today

@dhh @jetbrains Long blog posts about why you can’t have a “master” branch in git, and a major undertaking to rename it to “main” across thousands of projects…

@dhh @jetbrains Companies still tow this line It may not be financially incentivized with ESG score anymore but it's still policy for plenty of big city corps and non profit Jetbrains wouldn't have added it if it weren't a requested feature from some big customer imo.

@dhh @jetbrains fwiw those settings do not exist in clion... make of that what you will, lmao

@dhh @jetbrains Honest question (i'm greek). What we are supposed to use instead of fireman?

@dhh @jetbrains Do we have to go to extremes? I understand some things went too far, but there is credible research showing the language we use affects reality. It's not new, either. There is research about job searching and gender pronouns from 1973 for fuck's sake https://psycnet.apa.org/record...

@dhh @jetbrains The saddest midlife crisis: turning from code to culture wars.

@dhh @jetbrains The fact that they specifically targeted the removal of male pronouns is sexist using their own logic. However, we all know that in reality, it’s just another way for the woke crowd to express their hatred towards men and masculinity.

@dhh @jetbrains You see that it’s a checkbox that anyone can turn on/off at will, right? Not sure if it’s on by default, if so, maybe it shouldn’t be? But I also don’t think it’s that deep, calling it a „woke regime“ seems very dramatic

@dhh @jetbrains While at at! Yo! @github, still with the pronoun crap and that master/main nonsense? Every time I make a new repo and see “main,” I lose my damn mind!

@dhh @jetbrains Are we getting master/slave back or the hardware might be offended?

@dhh @jetbrains As a Russian company JetBrains navigated a whole backlash against Russia and came through. (Because tech is a guild and we can sanction oil but not our tools). So, they know how to toe the line.

@dhh @jetbrains Could never get with JetBrains because the default code theme looks like everything is an error. This is another level though.

@dhh @jetbrains Is there a mayor of the Internet? Can we make @dhh be the mayor of the Internet?

@dhh @jetbrains While I agree with you @dhh, it's good to mention that this is not the standard behaviour of any JetBrains IDE. It's only there when using the optional Grazie plugin.

@dhh @jetbrains I am still waiting for them to outlaw the word "woman", since it ends in "man", and therefore must "exclude women".

@dhh @jetbrains Mx. Elizabeth Smith would like a word with you.

@dhh @jetbrains What do you think about the N word or the I word for Natives of America? I'd assume you're against those? Why is that different from "they" when you talk about someone you don't know the gender of? Maybe they aren't even either one of m/f?

@dhh @jetbrains Three checkboxes, giving the user the choice. Calling it "Woke regime" is very dramatic 😂

@dhh @jetbrains *Policeperson*, *Fireperson*

@dhh @jetbrains Where was all this energy against stupidity 10 years ago?

@dhh @jetbrains The culture war is over in tech. The rest of the world however...

@dhh @jetbrains that actually exists? Jesus, what a waste of resources and attention

@dhh @jetbrains Sunset RubyMine while you're at it

@dhh @jetbrains Such a waste of mental power and resources.. we have bigger and more exciting problems to solve Best way to continue improving the well being for all is to continue pushing technology without any distractions

@dhh @jetbrains I wished I used @jetbrains so i could stop using @jetbrains

@dhh @jetbrains I grew up as a child wanting to be a pokémon Master. I never saw the word as anything but language. Master is a word used to describe mastery or ownership. I always start with a master branch in my repos. No more 1984.

@dhh @jetbrains Just imagine @linkedin disabled pronouns… It will take time I guess…

@dhh @jetbrains It doesn't cost anything to use civilized language.

@dhh @jetbrains Based

@dhh @jetbrains Incredible, I had no idea this jetbrains was this infected. Anyone involved in creating or approving this stuff almost certainly belongs in a padded room

@dhh @jetbrains Lmao. Thank God I switched from PyCharm to Zed.

@dhh @jetbrains hey, if they felt pressured into it, then yes, please remove it again and don't do it. But if this is what the company wants to do, then please just let them. I completely agree that things went way too far but we still shouldn't anyone what to do and not to do.
