My generally-pretty-friendly workplace has recently had quite a bit of viciousness about:

a) bbatsov's response to calls for Rubocop to be renamed

b) The use of "master" as the canonical branch's name in our main git repo

c) Linking to xkcd #75 (which uses the c-word) (the link was provided in response to a thread about mixed levels of profanity)



When bikeshedding meets virtue signaling you know you're in for a good ride


I have to admit I have a weakness for reading but not participating in these shit-hit-the-fan github threads. So many people arguing over something so trivial.


It sounds like your workplace has jumped the shark. I hope you're able to find another soon.
