> It is very important to note that small p-values do not guarantee that the results are
replicable or that statistical significance implies practical significance [18]. This means
that swearing will not automatically improve the quality of your code. However, a study
showed that swearing in the workplace acts as a form of stress relief [1], which in turn
could then improve focus and therefore code quality. This might be a possible explanation
for the findings.
Swearing is a means of stress relief, leading to better code. There are no control groups, but that is an interesting conclusion.
