Not explicitly, Sometimes PG versions like dang or darn in internal test only code.
Save the good stuff for the review where their impact can be directed at the guilty party or parties.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

I used to. Some of them pretty f***ing funny too, and I've found some of that sh*t way after the fact, had a chuckle, and edited it out because it makes me uncomfortable. It's funny too, I never swear except if my h***** is r****** and I get all t*************.

This is perhaps the KSS version of some COBOL I once had to maintain.

Only the paragraph had nothing to do with stacks or queues and the 88 Level had something to do with satisfaction.

I'm mean, from a programmer's point of view, isn't VB Programming the same thing?

Carelessly Create Contemptuous comments?
In general, I presume I'm the only person who'll ever want to read them - and I'm much to important revered adored to be subject to irreverent prose.
Conversely, should someone else happen upon an Endless Epiphany of Expletives of My Making, there's the distinct possibility of being held accountable.
So, common sense demands that one not &$($ around (in writing) with this %$#()$

but I dont. Nor do I use what can only be described as vile filth to make up people's names in test data, like I saw a company who was doing a poc for us 15 years ago do ... lets just say they didnt get the gig and (not just because of us) went out of business shortly thereafter. They tried to blame the data on a staff member who as they put it, was slightly mentally handicapped - it didnt wash !

I am usually an irreverent trouble making SOB but when it comes to work and code for work I usually try to be professional in all that I do. I do not cuss or use potty talk in my code even though the F word is my favorite word and is used on a daily basis in the presence of users.

That's when I cuss unless I've had some BACON.
All other comments are full on expletives.

... I occasionally point out that someone who did something really terrible should be thrown out of the guild in disgrace and, depending on the severity of the case, be chased out of town, tarred and feathered or drowned in the local river? Of course I also leave the original code in the comment, so that everyone can see that this is justified.

When developing and testing I often use swear words in temp messageboxes
|
|
|
|
|
I used to.
Right until I did a demo of some new functionality I was developing to some key IT people in the business, an Italian, a Dutchman, the rest English.
Showing the new printing system I was implementing (printing had been a complete pita in the existing system), clicked the button and up popped a document saying "F*&$ off, you c&*!".
Fortunately they were so impressed by the functionality they didn't mind the abusiveness on the projector.
Actually, I say used to, still do at times. Especially when getting frustrated, limited to message boxes now, usually saying ARSE, occasionally saying work you b@st3rd.
Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

That is the concern but if I swear in the messageboxes I am doubly keen to get rid of them - I have never had a swear messagebox show up during a demo but I have had non swear debugging messageboxes pop up.

The existing system was built using a framework that put a help icon on every screen. Clicking any of those buttons popped up a message saying something along the lines of no help available.
When creating a new screen I changed the standard text to RTFM.
This was released and nothing more was heard until a couple of months later someone phoned up to complain.
This at least helped me with my argument with those in charge that at least some users would try to use a help system if it was implemented before phoning us up.

Weird users you have there - a help system and they used it? Whoever heard of such a thing?
|
|
|
|
|
I had a user once who would have phoned for the same. Not because he read the help. He clicked everywhere and made lists of everything that he did not like. Then he would forward memo after memo to the CEO to complain about the system. CEO later knew that he moans for the sake of it...
