It's not uncommon at all to see coders express their frustrations in the code they write. For an entertaining afternoon of reading, go to http://www.google.com/codesearch[^] and enter the profanity of your choice. You'd be amazed what people say.

Some of those beginners learn from the experience and don't make the mistake again. Others, however....
