Well, you wouldn't see a rant like this in an actual work environment in the US; that would be wildly inappropriate. But I think most developers are completely okay with this in reading material, once in a while. They certainly wouldn't be offended by it, in the sense of it having a strong emotional effect.

Depending on the company, swearing might not be tolerated at all. At my company it's fairly common, but I only do it when in meetings with people I'm fairly comfortable around (my team, my manager, people I commonly work with).



Clearly you have never worked in the trading industry ;)
