Specifically, consider a person who lost a child to suicide. What kind of emotional regulation skill will help them remain happy and productive at work after reading the word 'suicide' in code?
Who teaches this skill?
What percentage of people are able to learn and use it effectively?
How does the cost of learning and relying on the skill compare to the cost of changing some words in our code?
It's not feasible or reasonable depending on the world catering to your every need. If seeing or hearing a word will result in a mental breakdown, the solution is NOT to demand the entire world stop using that word, but for you to build mental resilience and being able to cope with that word, longterm this is the only way for you to not be miserable.
