Well, fuck. ... we raised a fuckload of money and didn’t need more. And if we fail, we fail with our full asses.

I have seen this language from other companies to which I say "no". Being professional means being able to do good work, being polite, without lying, cheating, or stealing.

I do not want them to fail yet I would never use them despite liking their product. A few other companies behave the same way.

Have they done bad work, lied, cheated, or stolen something?

  • Lack being polite. It doesn't take much. Out of the mouth flows their heart.

    • Gotcha. You have a distaste for those who don't abide by your particular parochial naughty word list.

      Transgressors are equated by you with thieves and frauds.

      I'm strongly reminded of Piet Hein’s Circumscripture Grook.
