I use main instead of master on git, but what's the substitute to slave? Especially in master/slave setups like you have 1 processor controlling a bunch of measuring equipment for example.
I've seen controller/worker which seems pretty descriptive
Manager/wageslave ๐๐๐
It's not easy.
I think I've seen leader/follower too
Master in git is like master record, nothing to do with slaves
It sure is, it's the master branch that rules over all other branches.
You're the master of lies
primary/replica
Honestly, master/slave sounds so much better. But, well, slavery has been abolished centuries ago in my country, unlike the US
