EDIT: devRant April Fools joke (2020)
-------------------------
We've been at this a few years now, and over the last 6 months we've been working closely with a brand consulting agency, and after numerous developer interviews, surveys and focus groups, we've come to realize "devRant" is simply not capturing the cultural zeitgeist of this new decade. Therefore, we have a bold new brand that will be rolling out over the coming week. devDucks is our bold vision for the future, today. devDucks speaks to a new generation of software engineers who resonate with a more upbeat, optimistic tone when they go to an anonymous web community to swear and lament their current work situation. While we finalize the new logo and other key marketing collateral, we have started a staged roll-out of our new brand styling, including the conversion of all avatars to literal devDucks. We hope this brings more joy to your ranting, as it has to ours. Sincerely, David & Tim (@dfox & @trogus) - devDucks co-founders

And everything the user comment will be automatically translated to Quack-speak (because , you know accessibility)

We have to think about all the ducks who use internet.

This should at least become the default in the future, for people who have no avatar yet.

Realising that DevQuack could be some indie/avangardiste/niche Touring-complete language.

@CanisVenatici
Dev in the name of a programming language is kinda redundant.
Btw the name is Turing.

@Lor-inc That's why it's indie/avangardiste, because of his naming redundancy. Btw you made me realize that I misspelled His name.

I shall punish my flesh as the Book dictates.
