I have gentle fun in some of my code and note I have a pointer to my mommy. I
figure people can figure that out and get the chuckle. Of course, that's in my
own code for myself and maybe others if I toss it onto GitHub. I also stick in
the occasional Daddy. So it might even out. I don't obsess at that level. I just
try my level best, which is not as good as I'd like, to get it right.

Political correctness has no place in engineering. Clarity of
communications is a basis of the craft. When you disrupt it things
break. (eg Mars landers)
I agree, but when you ban blacklist and whitelist, it is a bit
inconsistent when you not also take care of the gender terms.
To be honest, I think the gender terms have a better case to be
changed as blacklist and whitelist.
