F***: Every word exists for a reason. When we want to use swear words, we spell them out. We oppose the pretense of replacing swear words with asterisks. Like most forms of morally forbidding Negativity, using asterisks reinforces what’s hidden by putting emphasis on the letters that are part of a bad word. Instead, asterisks create a loud echo in the reader’s mind and reveal the deep hypocrisy of superficially moral behavior. The same applies to words like friggin, freaking, effing etc. See also: adjectives and adverbs.

Feeling better: Usually spoken after getting rid of that little bug in a Design or wireframe that you never got round to fixing. The misaligned type, the inconsistent button shape, a typo. When it’s (finally) fixed, you’re overcome with relief and mutter “Phew, feeling better.”

Framework in a Framework: An eagerness to try out that new thing everybody talks about on Hacker News, or copy-pasting top answers on Stack Overflow that make simple projects explode into complex dependencies. We once used seven frameworks and two task runners to save a string to a database. Thus, possible but also highly unstable. See also CMS in a CMS.
