Good candidates for relevant terms may include "stream of consciousness" as a narrative style [0], with a writing tone that is "highly informal" and "colloquial" with "vulgarity" (from the inclusion of "fuck" and other profane words) throughout [1].
The author additionally uses the writing technique of "enallage", defined as a "slight deliberate grammatical mistake that makes a sentence stand out," [2] from the article excerpt: "in other words, we need to use termios. the ugly side of termios."
In other words: the author writes in a highly informal, colloquial tone with a stream of consciousness narrative style. The article is notable for its vulgarity and usage of enallage to achieve its exceptionally high degree of informality. The author is reminiscent of James Joyce as an experienced C programmer.
