Joey who opened https://github.com/artsy/README/issues/427 is one of the best 10x engineers I’ve ever had the privilege to work with. If it’s important to him to rename all branches from “master” to “joey” I’d add my plus 1.

Jokes aside, please read Ash’s (another artsy alumni) post on psychological safety, hope it changes your mind: https://ashfurrow.com/blog/building-compassionate-software/
