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.
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.

Management can go fuck themselves. Do they want the code to fucking work or not? These are load-bearing fucks.
