Why Programmers Use Obscene Language
I have a confession to make. I like all programmers use obscene language when I encounter extremely difficult situations on the job. It just happens. All programmers are human and sometimes the mental stress builds to a point where we all just let it out.
Using obscene language is nothing but a way to relieve stress. Some people drink a beer when they get home, others play a sport and computer programmers use obscene language like “what the *u**” (language deleted). It’s a great sense of relaxation to just let it out. It helps a programmer to have a more productive day.
