Re:Ask HN: Do you swear in your code? by magus_pwnsen on Monday June 16, 2008 @01:46PM (#218842)
Generally, I don't, and my last job was at a hedge fund. (Sailors, I hear, have a reputation for "cursing like a trader".) I get nervous enough about other people reading my code as it is; no need to make the process (imperceptibly) more volatile. In any case, swear words aren't descriptive enough to make for thoughtful comments... usually.
