The HN title is ten times more descriptive than "Fucking Your Way Out." Nobody would have any idea what the article was about if he used that title, whereas his replacement title is succinct and accurate. You can quibble about whether it should say "fuck" or "F-bomb", but it's up to the submitter's discretion to use a good title, and his chosen one is far better than leaving it as the default, so I'm not inclined to complain too loudly. I also note that much of your ire should probably be directed at the author, who uses "F-bomb" as a euphemism many times in the article itself, and even heroically sneaks in the phrase "dropping some F-pepper" once (this is actually true.)
