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

Seems fair enough. You need to check that on other big projects and compare the values. Then you should be able to rank them depending on the number of occurrences and determine their complexity (or see who worked on them).

@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...

@lucaspar / @wholl0p Time to create a collab, guys ;)

The hardest part will be to find a suitable name. I suggest "What the CLI" (running low on imagination, I know)

@Jilano let's do this
The name is the toughest part

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

@Gaveuxifort interesting... Looks like I missed that one. Will try it tomorrow ✓

It's really not that bad

Search for fuck in the Linux kernel

Try wtf & report back

@SecFreak I don't think anyone started anything yet, but of course everyone should be welcomed!

$ grep -ric bitch .

Sorry, I couldn't sleep without posting this.
