Man, at $DAYJOB, if we open-source something, they tell us to check for checked-in passwords and whatnot, and force us to throw away the commit history, which always feels stupid when we've known upfront that we're going to open-source it and so kept things clean from the start.
But then, yeah, you see a post like that and just think that it really wouldn't have been too difficult to search for swear words before publishing.
I mean, I also don't really care, since it's code rather than an official communication channel, but I can understand why management might care.
Management can go fuck themselves. Do they want the code to fucking work or not? These are load-bearing fucks.
It literally helps future programmers. There is nothing more inspiring than reading comments you can feel solidarity with. These literally are load bearing comments.
I also enjoy the sarcastic "I won't regret taking this shortcut" comments. Like, you're trying to fix some ass-holes code and they are literally mocking you for the fact that they knew they did it wrong but it would be someone else's problem in the future. It's a "pass the torch" kind of thing that I always enjoy. Like, I can't be mad because I just feel so connected in our mutual frustration of wage labor bull shit.
