    Perhaps people offended by the usage of master/slave in IT need to understand it isn’t talking about people

      I’ve now got an image in my head of a new satanic panic around daemons and wizards in IT.

        Technically, so does the word ‘robot’, but it’s not from english, so that linguistic connection to slavery doesn’t get noticed.
