Every time I hear/see someone in the computing or electronics space use the anachronistic and incorrect master/slave terminology I just can't help but lose respect for them, ya'll do better, please.

back in like 2005 when I was learning programming the experienced developers who taught me made it very clear to me that master/slave terminology was offensive and even tho it was the industry standard they made sure we didn't use it. It's absurd to me that anyone is still using it
