Dropping F-Bombs in the Windows Source

The BBC is running an article about why the release of the Windows source code is bad for Microsoft.  One of the problems is that it is “littered with profanity.”  Judging by some of Raymond's posts, I'm not surprised.

  • I remember there were some great comments int the Commer Server 2000 BizDesk code.



    Whoa, this ain't rocket science.

  • Awesome. I am constantly writing small rants in my code. It usually makes for good reading by newbies.....Glad to see others enjoy the same practice.

  • Well I can't say I've ever put any profanity in my comments but I have put a few jokes in it a time or two. I like to think maybe someday some one will come along to extend my stuff and have a laugh.
