> To me the thing becomes "woke" when we are told not to use "one man dev team" to mean "one person dev team"

Is it not a simply a more accurate term? Especially when it's literally a single person. A "one man dev team" that consists of a woman strikes me as unnecessarily confusing.

We're constantly told about these woke scolds that police language but in this instance I'm just seeing conservative scolds trying to police language for no actual logical reason beyond "I don't like it".
