Twitter and JPMorgan are removing ‘master,’ ‘slave’ and ‘blacklist’ from their code
Twitter and JPMorgan are removing ‘master,’ ‘slave’ and ‘blacklist’ from their code. The language of computing is changing in the wake of the death of George Floyd. Twitter is dropping the terms “master,” “slave” and “blacklist” from its code after two engineers lobbied for the use of more inclusive programming language. America’s biggest bank, JPMorgan Chase (JPM), is taking similar steps.
“Words matter,” Michael Montano, the head of Twitter’s engineering team, said in a tweet on Thursday. “We are committed to adopting inclusive language in our code, configuration, documentation and beyond.”
