Context and tone matters.

"Hey, I figured out a way to cut our EC2 needs and scaled down, saving us a ton of money." "You genius!"

vs.

"Ummm.... I accidentally left half a dozen m8g.16xlarge nodes running... for the last four months." "You... fucking genius."

Well there’s a “fucking” there.

I think you could use fucking in either of those contexts, and one would still be positive and one negative. The tone fo the first would be joyful, the tone of the second would be sarcastic.

Well, yeah. For fucking emphasis. "Absolute" would have worked as well.
