hydroptic OP , 4 months ago (edited 4 months ago)

I grew up in a bit of a sketchy neighborhood and up until my mid 20’s all my jobs were the sort where everybody cursed a lot, plus Finns tend to curse a lot in general.

I absolutely have not kept my cursing out of repositories, although looking at my last work project which had about 33000 lines all in all (maybe 2/3 written by me) when including comments, I was surprised to find it only 4 had “shits” and 6 “fucks”. One line in an example & test file had both:

<span style="color:#323232;">	zap.NewExample().Sugar().Errorw(</span><span style="color:#183691;">"welp, shit's fucked"</span><span style="color:#323232;">,
</span><span style="color:#323232;">		</span><span style="color:#183691;">"IsBadRequest"</span><span style="color:#323232;">, IsBadRequest(err),
</span><span style="color:#323232;">		Field(err))
</span>

and then there’s some comments like

<span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;">// - turn the unsafe.Pointer into a *[8]byte, allowed due to unsafe pointer fuckery
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;">// FIXME: this is just to make cli tool usage easier. It's a horrible fucking hack and should be
</span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;">//  nuked from orbit
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;">// FIXME: get rid of all this gorilla legacy bullshit. Could start by getting rid of the needless
</span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;">// Interface type
