Unfortunate that we (as a collective --- not something I personally believe in) seem to think that that is being "professional", and that it is somehow a reason to make everything as bland and soulless as possible, and that that is somehow better? I agree that a lot of code has lost its "character", so to speak.
It's an unfortunate loss for our conceptual heritage for the word 'professional' to have been mostly hijacked to mean something more like 'obedient', 'conformist', 'dull', 'bland', 'besuited' etc.
Once you don't have a word to express a concept, that concept can quite quickly fall out of circulation. Professionalism was a useful part of modern culture: it would be a shame for it to disappear from the lexicon. A horse that's bolted, I fear.
The Linux kernel still retains much of its fucks and shits, and apparently has gained a whole lot of crap: https://www.vidarholen.net/contents/wordcount/
