It's 3 three meme pictures. And "hater" or "motherfucker" are words that I expect from children, but not from a grown-up writing a blog post.


As a rule of thumb, I just assume I'm reading the English writings of a Russian when I see vocabulary like that :)


I beg your pardon? This kind of language is prevalent in the writing of US/English teens and young people. Absolutely nothing "Russian" specific about it.


Russian language speakers tend to use strong language more frequently and with even less intent than US teens.

I'm not trying to be derogatory in any way; that's just how language is used there.


Since it says "thanks to PoTe for fixing my terrible english" it sounds like English might not be the author's first language. Perhaps the impact of those words isn't as negative for the author.

I think the article would have been better without them, but that didn't get in the way of my appreciation for its technical content.


Those words only have negative impact because of the power we decide to give them.

Hack your mind, free yourself from being constantly offended and instead absorb the knowledge and experience that these motherfuckers have to offer.
