To a degree, I understand when people do it when speaking. It can easily be a bad habit, it can slip, it can be your age and the influences around you.

When it comes to doing it in a written blog post that you hope other people will read? Boggles the the mind.

Seems inspired by https://motherfuckingwebsite.com/ Either way I don't see an issue since it's clearly semi-ironic/self-aware and not an actual rant.

Edit: actually even the styling is suspiciously similar to http://bettermotherfuckingwebsite.com/

This might just be a cultural thing.

Using swearing for emphasis is a non-event where I am. You'll find it equally in documentation as in conversation. There is no taboo around it. It isn't considered to be some "bad habit".

We're two decades removed from "Where the bloody hell are you?" [0] You won't find many people reacting to swearing over here as if it's unprofessional. It's just another emphatic.

Honestly, I've never used Postman and I kinda want to start using it now just because of the tone the post has been written with.

This message on their homepage makes me think author doesn't want other people to read it:

> More coming soon. Or not. I don't owe you shit.

No. It's funny, and it humanizes the writer. Everything doesn't have to be tight-lipped and formally clenched for your enjoyment, Sire.

I'm pretty sure using cURL to do SOAP would result in a lot more cursing :-|
