Your genuine comment on the topic being downvoted tells me there’s not much genuine conversation going on in these HN threads, which have been much more toxic than usual
I agree with your point, and master/slave being replaced with much more descriptive terms depending on context will be a boon long term I believe. I think CircuitPython is using terms such as “input/listener” which more accurately describes the circuit.
Other pairings like “generator/consumer” also make the relationship more clear when previously it was all lumped under “master/slave”
