I think some people take craftsmanship more seriously than others, and wouldn’t deface a workpiece like that during those moments of frustration that we all have.
I find that PRs are the best place for rants. I can let out steam while sharing and recording my journey and lessons learned, while not making the code worse off with silly variable names and sloppy comments.
I have once added a comment saying “this was a very painful function to get right. If you change it you will suffer the same fate. See PR#1234 for details.”

I'm not talking about insults but more about specific context provided in a felt prose, like I've seen in legacy code. Not usually my style but I wouldn't judge it as "not talking it seriously".
