#42Is this better than pandoc?
Re: Turns websites into Markdown
#43I'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…
But...how else can they compensate for the inherent unremarkability of their tool?
Besides, they are much cooler people than the rest of us and it is really important that we understand that.

Conversely, plenty of people would contend that refraining from profanity is a mark of maturity.
And many others will think you are immature if you get butthurt or offended every time someone says a bad word. We are not 5 years old. Deal with it.
1) It's interesting to me that some people here are treating the right to be profane as some kind of moral absolute, in the exact manner that people who are against profanity often do.
2) Can you think of an example where some kind of language is offensive to you but not to someone else? If so, I hope you'd be able to relate to people you disagree with on this issue instead of denigrating them.
3) If a 5-year-old was in this forum, would you be more disapproving of profanity for their sake?

Weird that swearing is still seen as taboo - guess it depends on location and sensibilities, but dropped the C word several times in front of my manager and never batted an eyelid. Think the impact tends to be overstated somewhat.
Whether it's said out loud, or put in writing makes a big difference.
If spoken, the speaker can first check to see if the immediate context is appropriate. Then it's just a memory.
In writing, like on the web, there's more persistence. Sweary words online can be brought into inappropriate situations later. This can reflect badly on the author, in the eyes of some.

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.

I have a comment I would like to make in response to this but I will refrain.

Don't think any 5 year old gets offended by bad words. They appreciate if you teach them some ;)
And there's a difference between being offended by swear words and welcoming them in a corporate environment..

#48Why do front-end engineers like to use the word "fuck" so much? Just something I've noticed over time.

The author is free to do as he/she wishes, but when I see profanity in the title I'm much less inclined to click on it. I wonder if I'm an anomaly and no one else cares, if other people feel the same way as I do, or if for every person like me, there's someone who is more inclined to click because they saw a swear word?
I couldn't fucking care less ;)
Now seriously, it's probably due to cultural differences. Is profanity that frowned upon on the US (or wherever you're from)? It's surprising how sensitive the US is towards profanity for a country where "fuck" is used extensively in media.
I literally didn't think anything about the domain but it's probably because lighthearted profanity is much more pervasive in my culture, where it's used as an emphasis tool (and less for its shocking value in media). We don't censor (beep) swear words on TV either (which BTW seems ridiculous from our point of view).
Yes, I'm not going to swear in a professional setting, but I'm not going to think less of someone for their use of words. Words are just words. Swear words don't hurt me any more than non-swear words if they're not meant to hurt anyone.
It's a simple "fuck yeah". It's supposed to be an expression of joy. How does that hurt you at all? Why would it make you less inclined to click on it? Genuinely curious.
EDIT: Also, regarding that "what if there were 5-year-olds visiting this site" point I've seen elsewhere... In my country everyone swears and children aren't traumatized or anything. As soon as kids are old enough to recognize the subtext they refrain from swearing (in front of adults) themselves.
Don't swear in front of toddlers though. They'll repeat it over and over again.
