This is why I like programming. You can call your code lots of fun and interesting names and you don't get an email from HR.

I find it helps to have a separated space from the business folks, or work from home.

One of the reasons I know I'm on a good team is I'll mumble something like "What the actual fuck? That shouldn't be possible." and I'll hear a coworker chuckle and say something like "So it's not just me having one of those days!"

Love working on a team like that. Once earned an office a very stern lecture about strong language because of it, that was fun; resulted in some of us greeting each other with "fuck you, [name]" in a very polite tone

One of my coworkers once got in trouble for naming a PDF "The client asked for another fucking round of changes" they of course renamed it before sending... but they renamed the filename - they didn't remember to update the Metadata title that pdfs have embedded in them (and we all used foxit that suppressed the visibility of that title at that time).

Do be a bit careful about anything you're actually committing.
