So I ran grep to count the occurrences of the word "bitch" In a pretty large project of ours... eleven. ELEVEN.

    @Jilano for a more accurate analysis one should also consider the amount of "wtf", "fuck", "shit" and so on. If it's a world-wide team, searches in other languages could also return meaningful results.

    In fact there could be a cli tool for that, it can be a complex analysis, but quite insightful. When dividing the number of swearing words by the development time, a measurement of curses per hour could be standardized as a complexity unit.

    @Jilano That would be a great idea, devs around the world should run the command and should anonymously submit the counts ^^

    @lucaspar I tested for "fucking", "shit" and similar stuff but found nothing... But thanks to git blame I know who wrote the "bitch" commands...

    I love this idea. I feel like making a website that crawls open source projects for swear words and it could display stats of various sorts.

    maybe the really angry ones were capitalised, try grep -ir ... to ignore cases
