Twitter is dropping coding terms like 'master' and 'slave'
 - [BUSINESSINSIDER] Twitter is dropping coding terms like "master" and "slave" and replacing them with inclusive alternatives, like "leader" and "follower."
- The move was boosted by the Black Lives Matter movement, but it also comes after a months-long campaign to replace the coding terms with inclusive language, an effort that was spearheaded by two Twitter engineers.
- Tech's broader open-source community has been met with pushback for its use of software terms that are inspired by the language of slavery and oppression.
