It's me, in my hacktoberfest t-shirt, sitting on my gaming chair with gaming keyboard and mouse, working 12 hours per day for 7 days, coding and pushing bits to server so a client can be happy.

I came home today to find my wife wearing my hacktoberfest shirt... She said it was soft and looked girly so she was stealing it. At least I still have the stickers.8

Father devrant I have a confession to make:
I stayed up until 12 in the midnight during Sep 30 to do 4 PRs immediately once it was October 1 in under 1 hour...
Now I passed out on the classroom and people think I got possesed

I am happy!
Participated in Hacktoberfest for the first time, and now, the t-shirt (which, btw, looks pretty nice imo) is on its way! Can't wait!
Thanks to the people who organize these sort of events ❤️😁2 -

I made it! 5 pull requests for Hacktoberfest :) .
I'm super happy because until now I really didn't know how to help other projects or even have the motivation, but now I can say I have helped a few get their code right :P7 -
I was having this poetic exchange with the maintainer of a vscode extension.
I guess he didn't see it coming... 😛👨💻

Well, I know you guys are tired of all the Hacktoberfest rants but I got mine this morning and I'm excited! Guess you gotta deal with it 😂😂😅

Tbh this is one of the scummiest things i've seen people do on Hacktoberfest to make their pull requests count. Why are these even counted?
15 -
Well my hacktoberfest Tshirt just got shipped. This is quite sooner then i expected. Last year it was 15 december. So yeah getting it very soon. So hyped.
The design is flawless. Just absolutely amazing.6 -
When u finished 80018939018282983 pull requests on a single day hoping to get extra stickers for Hacktoberfest..3

HacktoberFest is a scam where people just come to get a tshirt and thus decreasing the importance of open source 😐😶5

My hacktoberfest t-shirt was delivered yesterday and so I wore it today.
People asked me if it had something to do with minced meat because of the German word 'hackfleisch'.1 -
*drum rolls*
1st day of 2018
Received the most awaited goodies
PS. Haven't started coding this year yet.

I legit saw some idiot post a screenshot of their completed PR contributions to Hacktoberfest 2020 on Instagram
One of them was to add their name to a repo that contributes nothing to open source (as in literally nothing). It was marked as valid because some dick made a repo for easy PRs to game the system
Fuck these guys5 -
I have two contributions so far in my first hacktoberfest. I have created a readme and updated a .gitignore to ignore VSCode’s .vscode file, just in case anyone else who wanted to contribute that uses VSCode doesn’t have to worry about the .vscode file3
-
I didn't manage to win a Hacktoberfest 2020 shirt because I don't use GitHub anymore (and they require that apparently) - but I figured I might as well have a go at it.
echo "- an amazing project" >> README.md
git add devduck.png
git commit -m "update docs"

[Hardware geeks, microcontroller geeks, please come]
Yet another Hacktoberfest tshirt...
Gotcha? (I bet you know who I am)
Just kidding. Just a random project idea I am not sure if it is possible to make from scratch.
It is essentially a usb external storage
About 32gb
And has a lcd that shows available storage space
And some buttons to play snake. (Yup)
Is it possible?
What should I expect when creating from scratch? (Microcontroller, c language, interfaces, etc)

So I participated in this year's Hacktoberfest and it was really cool. Gonna get a free t-shirt and stickers for completing the October challenge. Hacktoberfest 2019 was presented by DigitalOcean and Dev and 4 pull requests were required to be made by you in any GitHub-hosted repositories/projects to get the free swags. It was open globally. I feel events like this encourages budding developers to learn more and exposes them to new ideas. Anybody else out there who participated in the Hacktoberfest? Still waiting for my t-shirt :'(

I'm there trying to find some easy to solve issues for hacktoberfest and github be like. Nah Man !

Thanks a lot!! @devTea, for giving me the chance.

Hacktoberfest done. OK lets be doing more fucking commits.
If you have any C program on github. Then bring it here please.4 -
Does anybody know of other contests like google code-in, summer of code and hacktoberfest? Not things like codewars. Any type pf contests with large tasks that are challenging. Thanks!1
-
Taking advice from devRant and just working on some documentation for hacktoberfest. Well until I can find a project that I want to add code to1

🐙/* Friendly reminder */ 🐙
Don't forget about Hacktoberfest, a great way of giving back to the open source community 👨👩👧👦. And remember, if you create at least 4 pull request you'll get a t-shirt! 👕👚4 -
Hacktoberfest has started today.
If you have an open source project label your issues with "devRant" or link your project here. This way people new to open source projects can help in a project by people they know.

I never thought big about Whitespaces until Hacktoberfest came by.
Fed up with the amount of PR and notifications I am getting on my repo . Most of the time they create a PR to create a Whitespace and then delete it . Now I have put up a Repository to at least add some joke instead of those Whitespaces13 -
People who received PRs because of Hacktoberfest. How many of you actually feel happy over a legitimate contribution (not spam)?
I'm asking because somebody commented on a PR long after it was merged this month, before Digital Ocean changed the rules for opt-in only, whether i made the contribution because of this event.
I answered honestly and said "Yes, but it was because of Hacktoberfest that i gained an interest in open source development (regardless of projects that are/are not opted in)". I apologized and said they can undo the changes if they wish.
Yet somehow i feel terrible, this poor chap probably feels like they got sucker punched8 -
next hacktoberfest: prepare CoC and generated PR descriptions, splash vomit it onto everybody who participated and offers high difficulty merge only rewards - PR and get it merged - if they don't merge it, tag some twitter accounts automatically based on hair color and ping some news outlets via twitter and mail. 🙂1

Trying to redeem my free hacktoberfest shirt. Click the link in the email, pick my size, hit continue, and I'm immediately met with "this website is under heavy load" and the request fails... That's embarrassing.2

Searching "hacktoberfest" issues on GitHub. I pull one up and see the repo was created 6 hours ago and has 47 issues all with the label hacktoberfest. Looks like someone is begging for contributors.5

Hacktoberfest T-Shirt is here finally. No pics due to phone issues still.
But well you know how hacktoberfest T-Shirt looks like so yeah. -

Till now, hacktoberfest has been really bad more me.
Why so?
I got 4 PRs for my project, out which 3 were identical.
I reviewed them and commented to fix the bugs. The Unit Tests are failing and they don't bother to send out a correct PR. And they don't even bother to fix them and respond. They just want to make 4 PRs to get the free T-Shirt.
Just finish the PR and make it pushed to the mainline.2 -
Yet another Hacktoberfest tshirt

Open source rocks!

Enjoying the hacktoberfest. Thank you guys for ranting about it. Or else I wouldn't have known about it. Done with the 4 PRs. Still looking forward to contribute more.

Fuckin'A how it takes 1 t-shirt from hacktoberfest to make everyone loose their shit and start actively contributing to Open Source projects on Github.2

I read this post somewhere where this son of a bitch created 4 5 accounts, then submitted fake PRs across those accounts to each other during Hacktoberfest.
People like these are fucking losers absolutely destroying the credibility of a event like Hacktoberfest.
People like them would sell of their own fucking soul for a T shirt
Do you agree?3 -
Just submitted my first ever pull request on GitHub. Here I am frantically waiting for it to get rejected or take my first step towards the Hacktoberfest shirt 😁1

Hacktoberfest this year
Too lazy to do contributions
I shall rest this year
And managing to get the swags is cumbersome, international shipping sucks especially when tracking isn't provided -
So I have done some solo projects and some group projects now and I saw that Hacktoberfest was on so I went and signed up. I saw some of the things todo and got overwhelmed with the code on the repo. What do you guys think I should start off with in terms of open source projects. I want to get into some open source projects but don't know what to look for or where to start. Any help would be appreciated.1

Which programming contests or scholarships (for conferences, etc.) do zu know of?
For example Hacktoberfest, GCI, WWDC, etc2 -
Uhmmmmm this is very weird.
As every year i complete hacktoberfest challenge. But this year is weird as i ordered the Tshirt from their store. By the last 2 years i know that to get it even shipped will take 2 months which is fine with me as long as i get it but i didnt get shipping comfirmation this year and letter arrived from DigitalOcean with literally 1 fucking sticker inside it.
WTF is this ?
I sent message to their support to see WTF is going on as i ordered a fucking T-Shirt from their store so i would expect a shirt and not 1 sticker. And not only that but i didnt get shipping info about my order which is normal but when you send something to me i would fucking love to know WTF it is and why.
Did anybody receive 1 sticker from them and then shirt or am i just not getting shirt this year ?6 -
Hacktoberfest ist starting!
You can get a free Tshirt when contributing!
More info @ https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/.........
btw I seem to be to stupid to find anything I could help with, so no shirt for me = /3 -
My first ever pull request on a public repo on github just got merged. The suspense is killing me. Three more to go for the free shirt...4
-
Thank you community for letting me know about Digital Ocean's Hacktoberfest. Since I have been contributing a lot to open source lately, I got a mail as soon as I registered for Hacktoberfest that I have successfully submitted 4 PRs. Now patiently waiting for my swags. 😀
-
I'm not that into open source contributions, but the hacktoberfest campaign this year caught my attention. There are so many challenges and events happening... I thought I should give it a try.
So far I got 2 t-shirts and had more fun than I thought.1 -
Finally got my Hacktoberfest care package!! Thought it'd never arrive...
Anyone know a good way to get more stickers? Or personal preference as to where to buy them?

Sometimes, I feel my school is a prison.
I'm sitting there, 8-10 hours per day, learnin' things I already know, and all I can do is sitting quiet to `don't disturb during the lesson`. I can't even use my laptop.
But, school also is nice in some ways, my principal allowed me to run a Hacktoberfest event in my school, make kinda radio in our school and make an app for our SmartTV (yep, we have a TV in school) to show weather, changes in lesson plans etc.
But still, I really feel this is the prison. One more year, and I'll finish this shit and go...to another school because `you need to graduate to do anything in your life`. Btw, do ya know any good ways how to become CTO or COO one day? Just asking. Greetings, I hate my school, have a nice day.9 -
The countdown for Hacktoberfest has started, the only difference is that this time you can opt-out of taking the Hacktober fest tshirt and help plant a tree instead.

Have you guys received your hacktoberfest 2018 shirt already?
Kind of irritated because my shirt is stuck on Frankfurt, Germany, and it's been a month now. Do you think it's stuck on German customs?3 -
Does anyone have some small projects I can contribute to for Hacktoberfest? I'm having some problems finding anything that doesn't have a humongous codebase or is dead.8
-
I haven't received my hacktoberfest tee yet... Does anyone else haven't got it or is it just only me?3
-
I want to participate in Hacktoberfest but I don’t know what I want to contribute to :/ I’m still very new to open source so when I stumble into what they want me to add but immediately I get intimidated.6
-
Hey guys, I want the t-shirt of hactoberfest, please if anyone of you have anything for me to contribute in your repositories, let me know.
Even if it's a small typo, I'm in.24 -
#Hacktoberfest is about to end, and soon devrant would be filled with rants of people showing off their shirts and stickers... yeah, I'll be one of them. :P2
-
What to do if the repository maintainer taking a lot of time for accepting pull request of hacktoberfest?5
-
Did anyone participate in last year's Hacktoberfest? I'm trying to figure out how they're going to send out that many shirts. The number has to be in the thousands.
