I'm all for cursing in private conversation with friends and such when it's appropriate - but why do people continue to think it's acceptable in public examples of work? Will this go on someone's resume like this? What will an employer think? I'm not questioning freedom of speech or self expression or anything like that. I'm simply saying, if you build a tool / live example / whatever and intend to show it to people…

If your future employer isn't mature enough to handle you swearing on a project you have done, then that's an employer you should skip.

For his own website I'm only getting: [Source](http://fuckyeahmarkdown.com/ "Permalink to Fuck Yeah Markdown") # Fuck Yeah Markdown

Why on earth don't people test these things on their own websites to make sure the output is good?? There was another thing on HN the other day (I think it was websites -> word docs or something) and it half-assed it's own homepage.

When faced with an address box for something like this where I can enter any url I want my mind always immediately goes blank and I just copy the current address in to see what happens, I'm sure I can't be the only one

'FuckYeah' is very common on tumblr for site names i.e. fuckyeahcarebears or fuckyeahlawnmowers.

Whenever I see fuckyeah anywhere, I immediately think it's a tumblr user or thing. My bias of course, but I can't be the only one...

Also, had I paid more attention to the URL before clicking there's no way I'd have clicked on it whilst at work. I am now waiting for the Office Internet Police to come and have word with me :(
