I would say the best way to tell how angry a developer is would be to look at the code they are writing.
Is it hurried, written in poor style or maybe even sadistic :/
Sometimes the comments yield clues to that. Best one I ever saw:

- jetti 14y agoNo, the best way to tell how angry a developer is would be to ask them. To think that one could get any insight into emotional feelings from code is preposterous (with the exception of emotionally charged variable names or ASCII art).
- pestaa 14y agoThere is no difference at all in the style of my code whether I'm angry or not. I just happen to make more typos which makes me even more angrier. However, if poor style were the best emotional indicator, I think the angriest developers are all coming from oDesk.
