Swear Words Improve Code Quality

Text on the meme

A Bachelor thesis in my lab makes a seminal contribution to software engineering - open source codes written in C on github have higher code quality when they contain swear words. C source code without swear words Proportion of repositories Code quality score C source code with swear words Proportion of repositories Code quality score

What it means

A humorous fake research post claims that C code repositories containing swear words have higher code quality, illustrated with two contrasting distribution charts. The joke mocks academic thesis language and the idea that profanity somehow improves software engineering. It is used as a reaction to questionable research, messy code, or programmers defending their profanity-filled comments.
