Double tapping on a rant little slowly opens the rant activity twice.
Happens when I try to ++ a rant by double tapping. @dfox7 -
*someone ++'d your rant*
devRanter: "meh"
*someone commented on your rant*
devRanter: *Stops everything and checks*7 -
I walked down a street where the houses were numbered 64K, 128K, 256K, 512K and 1MB
That was a trip down the memory lane5 -
So if @dfox and @trogus are the devs who make devRant... And if they want to rant about dev stuff... Does that mean they could then rant about devRant on devRant?6
-
@dfox
Double-tapping a rant on the search results page doesn't upvote the rant. Opens the rant instead.9 -
!rant
Hello world, i've just found this awesome community a few days ago and I cant stop reading.
Anyway, I have a burning question:
Do devRant devs rant on devRant?4 -
<rant>
I swear to god if see another "Here's how I made my amazing new website with Wixs" advert on Youtube, I'm going to throw my laptop out the god damn window!
</rant>8 -
Just typed /dev/rant instead of /dev/random on the terminal :/ I think I associated random with rand and then rant, oh my god, I need to sleep2
-
*Me seeing a good rant on devRant.
Wow I have a good thoughts I should comment on it..
*Open Rant, 76 comments (started to be related to the content then won't anymore, jokes and internal jokes)
Oh shit, it'll be useless.. *continue scrolling3 -
!dev
So I finally registered on this great community to rant about something - now I forgot what to rant about.
Instead have a picture of Ubuntu Mate showing an unrealistic battery time.4 -
Just commented on a rant
*Goes back to scrolling*
*Remembers that I forgot to ++ it*
*Runs to my comments to upvote the rant*
Happened to anyone else?8 -
This is a rant about having nothing to rant about because I'm so busy working on projects. The grind is just... grind-y.3
-
I realized I am a rant grifter...
Somebody makes a good rant. I respond with witty, snarky, or angry response. Then I cash in on them sweet internets points. Rant grifting.8 -
Feature request:
A lot of people have been commenting on rants just to later get notifications about it, but also from my experience often times I comment on a rant but don't want to be subscribed to it.
Why not make it not subscribe you to the rant by default, and instead change the rant mute button to do the opposite and subscribe you to that rant? It would avoid the pointless comments, and this7 -
Working on devRantron, wondering why comments are not coming up when I click a rant.
THAT FUCKING RANT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ANY COMMENTS. WHY THE FUCK AM I SO DUMB.8 -
Everything's urgent until every thing is urgent ... Or in my company's case, everything is "super dupa mega deathly critical urgent" in an attempt to out-urgent the other requests 🤦🏼♂️
Quote taken from an actual email this week and made me chuckle 😂
These are usually the same people that will send a teams message or direct email rather than using the established ticket system so hey, double rant :v12 -
!rant
I’ve left the office! On my last day in the previous employer’s... the biggest smile on my effing face 😄4 -
*Le me posting a rant on devRant
*Le Rant gets no ++1 for a while
*Yup it was stupid one, delete it4 -
@dfox it is on my mind to rant about editing my rants but now i lost the opportunity to rant about it, latest update: edit your rants and comments. cool 😎 👍4

Getting +25 on your rant is the equivalent of a gold star on schoolwork: "You did an excellent job...here's a sticker."
-
I was about to write a rant on saturday, but I thought: the company and the morons hired by the ceo and investors make me rant, so the company should pay that, during my working time.
At my current rate, this 10 minutes monday rant plus some rant reading and commenting, it's about 10$.
Let's the morons pay that.3 -
devRant is nice.
If you move rant feed to "Recent" and saw a bunch of rant u already read but you keep scrolling down hoping to see new rant but u fail cause rant policy keep people from posting new rant for 2 hour and not many new rant has been post.
This is a nice feature. It make u self aware that "crap, maybe too much time on devRant". Even if you addict to devRant but by this policy -> It force you to really close its app and checking it on another free time. (more healthy than another social media I guess 😂)2 -
The whole office thinks I'm working on a serious dev. I'm just running dev rant APIs on cmd and scroling.Happy Friday!2
-
It's oddly satisfying to see other devs rant about the shit they go through. And yet, I can't deal with the shit that people rant on non-dev related on Facebook.
-
Sometimes I become so angry that I can't even be bothered to rant. Later on I don't remember what I was on about to make a rant and gain some virtual points.
Thought this deserves a rant of it's own. -
When I'm scrolling through my feed here for a long time and see a rant I want to comment on, I always scroll down, comment and then realize the rant is a month+ old.
Ugh.2 -
How we click notifs in devRant.
1-1. SOMEONE mentioned you in a comment!
1-2. SOMEONE commented on your rant!
2. SOMEONE ++'d your rant!

999. SOMEONE ++'d your comment!
1000. One (or more) new comments on a rant/collab you commented on!
Sorry creators, but..... (silence, drops mic)1 -
Sometimes I read a rant on here, and I swear its a co-worker of mine that's written it since I've heard him make almost the exact same rant....1
-
This is a rant that doesn't end, it goes on and on my friends.
Some people, started reading it not knowing what it was, and they continued reading it forever just because.....
https://devrant.com/rants/4411805/...9 -
Am I dumb/blind or devrant could use the reply on the rant itself? I have a problem when wanting to tag the creator and I have to type the username (if not previously replying on the rant)..which usually means switching between the rant and comment several times before I get it right.. :/8
-
I like how when on the main rant list, clicking on a GIF will open it rather than the rant, so can that be implemented for normal images too please?
Usually when an image is posted I want to see the bigger version straight away rather than going into the rant first. I realize that may annoy some people though.3 -
Not my rant, but this person can probably use some devRant in his/her life. Go read the full tweet and his/her replies here.
Buck up for a very very long read.
https://twitter.com/gravislizard/...
There was quite the argument storm in (a) similar rant(s) here, so hope peeps don’t mind how this is just adding to the pile. The tweet uses a lot of web examples and bashed really hard on them.
PS: I do web dev myself, but I have to agree to certain nasty things about it.9 -
That time when you hop from one rant to a ranter profile and onto the next rant and repeat until you're commenting on some ancient post.
😬😬😬 Sorry!3 -
> Opened devRant to read some cool rant.
> Scrolled down the feed to find awosm rant.
> Found an interesting rant, touched it to view it.
> Read the rant.
> press back to find more awosme rant but, (boom💥) again on top of feed.😡😡😤
> Now need to scroll down again :/ :(
FIX THIS!!!!12 -
bad nightmare: getting a bug on the day of deployment..
worst nightmare: getting more than 100 comments on a Rant with no ++1 -
I think the report rant function should have a verification function. Like asking me if I'm sure I want to report this rant.
I just reported a rant I didn't mean to, because I wanted to mute notifications on it3 -
!rant, opinion/discussion
What are your thoughts or experiences with Ruby on Rails? Does it have a bright future?
I'm currently only using PHP for server-side web stuff, but looking for ideas for more beautiful languages.
I know C#, but because 95% of web servers I work on are Linux based, it's (as far as I currently know) not an option. Or is ASP.NET Core somewhat supported on non-root (basic hosting) linux servers?7 -
Once I finish reading a long rant/story on this website, I have to scroll up to rate the rant/story.3
-
Just ranting cause the devRant iOS app keeps crashing randomly when I open rants at times, after crash same rant opens fine.
A lot of “rant” on that sentence.28 -

The same friend from my previous fb rant

As a tribute to Alice's fun discoveries, here's my discovery.
If you choose the weekly rant banner on the rant feed and open the rant which is showing at the top of your screen, you will see a ghost of the banner while the rant is loading.4 -
Dev rant needs to work more on their algos to show rants! Since I posted one bout php , every other rant I see is bout php now and I think I just shot in my feet with this rant 😂oh whatever.5

30 notifications) => comments on your rants... Somebody replied to the rant you commented on... XYZ mentioned you in a comment
Great !! But on which one ?3 -
The moment you are laying in bed and you suddenly see a rant about the perfect laptop with 20+ comments on the rant.
*starts googling every model mentioned in comments*6 -
Devrant should have a feature to unsubscribe notifications on a rant + notifications should say from which rant it came from. These would be much appreciated improvements.8

I just saw a rant shared on facebook, and I instinctively hovered my mouse on the ++ before I realized what I was doing.

This was initially a reply to a rant about politics ruining the industry. Most of it is subjective, but this is how I see the situation.
It's not gonna ruin the industry. It's gonna corrupt it completely and fatally, and it will continue developing as a toxic sticky goo of selfishness and a mandatory lack of security until it chokes itself.
Because if something can get corrupted, it will get corrupted. The only way for us as a species to make IT into a worthy industry is to screw it up countless times over the course of a hundred years until it's as stable and reliable as it can possibly be and there are as many paradigms and individually reasonable standards as there can possibly be.
Look around, see the ridiculus amount of stupid javascript frameworks, most of which is just shitcode upon vulnerabilities upon untested dependencies. Does this look to you like an uncorrupted industry?
The entire tech is rotting from the hundreds of thousands of lines of proprietary firmware and drivers through the overgrown startup scene to fucking Node.js, and how technologies created just a few decades ago are unacceptable from a security standpoint. Check your drivers and firmware if you can, I bet you can't even see the build dates of most firmware you run. You can't even know if it was built after any vulnerability regarding that specific microcontroller or whatever.
Would something like this work in chemical engineering? Hell no! This is how fucking garage meth labs work, not factories or research labs. You don't fucking sell people things without mandatory independent testing. That's how a proper industry works. Not today's IT.
Of course it's gonna go down in flames. Greed had corrupted the industry, and there's nothing to be done about it now but working as much as we can, because the faster we move the sooner we'll get stuck and the sooner we can start over on a more reasonable foundation.
Or rely on layers of abstraction and expect our code to be compilable on anything the future holds for us.2 -
!rant
Waze is actually devRant for drivers / commuters...
On a side-note - Cluj-Napoca is a nightmare on monday mornings before 8 am... :/8 -
didn't know that if you long click on a rant on the rants feed will open the rant and the comment box..
try it here 😁3 -
That feeling when you've already moved on from your previous rant and posted a new one - but your old rant keeps getting +1's while your new rant remains stagnant.
-
Thank you very much for the stickers. I really love 'em.
I even removed some jet brains stickers for them.
I like how it now looks like my git cat is ranting! -

i would really like to be able to open pictures in rants if they're in the preview without having to actually click on the rant -

@dfox can i suppress the "New comment on a rant you commented on!" notifs? Is there a toggle somewhere?11

Rant: that moment when you don't want to drop one of your devs because he's been on that team since day one but HE DOESNT DO SHIT FOR THE TEAM!!!!!! I can count on one hand how many projects have been on time from this guy. RANT OVER.

That feeling when your rant is on top of weekly rant list..
Feeling awesome thanks for the support buds ! -
Moved into management and now I miss the coding part of my job? Wtf is wrong with me, I used to dread coding.2
-
Tfw you comment on somebody's rant which clears everything up but negates what they said so they delete the rant.4
-
Why do I keep getting an error when posting my rant saying, "There was an error creating the rant."?
Has anyone else gotten this before? Happening both on mobile app, mobile browser, and laptop's browser so it's not the platform.
EDIT: So this rant went through so it must be something in that specific rant. It's pretty long.8 -

Need some advice on which university to choose in melbourne for bachelor of software engineering1 -

I was just browsing around on devRant as usual and I got an idea. Though I'm pretty sure many people must have had it already.
But still, don't you guys think it would be nice to not hide the rant when you tap on it to expand because on slow networks it takes a long time to load the whole rant so we as users could just read the short version of the rant while it's being loaded and save some time. We could then just tap a long rant for it to expand and then read the smaller version until it does, it'll just save time I think.
Sorry if it sounds stupid..! :/4 -

Its on people. The legacy apparently has been continued for a while now:

On strong painkillers, read a rant, want to +1 it, but can't. Puzzle for a moment before realising it's your own damn rant!2
-
!rant
Is there a difference when your rant reach 500's?
Does it start to be called +1's instead of ++'s
Just saw it on https://devrant.com/free-stickers3 -
So, is it possible to disable push notifications for when someone comments on a rant you commented on by default?5

Recently I have had to help our support team handle a variety of embedded development support tickets for a product line that is quite complex in nature. It is really starting become frustrating how common it is that the so-called “developers” that are using this product are so incompetent at requesting help in a proper/sane way. It is even more frustrating that some of these schmucks start acting up and stating bullshit statements like (para-phrasing) “OMG we have a ‘big opportunity’ and a deadline to meet”, “you need to help us faster”. These are also the same guys that are like “I know you have a free SDK that does everything correctly, but I want to write my own ‘pro’ driver written in my own ‘dumbass code style’. Oh and I am not going to follow documentation and not implement required functions and make you read my god awful code snippets to find out what I what I did wrong instead of reading the docs or comparing against the SDK.”
To anyone that behaves this way...fuck you! Just stop. Stop being a developer altogether. If your “opportunity” is so important, why the fuck are you half-assing your support ticket? Why are you making it SO DAMN DIFFICULT for someone to help support you! Give as much info as possible to prove your point or provide context to the problem you are having. In the majority of these tickets the dumbasses don’t even consider that relaying the product’s firmware version is relevant information, that a Wireshark (and/or logic analyzer) capture can be very useful to provide context to the type of operation being performed. Code snippets can be nice but only if there is sufficient context. We have had to ask one guy 3 times already for the FW version...what the flipping hell is wrong with you?!
Ug...I feel sorry for Support/FAEs sometimes dealing with customer bullshit drives me nuts and its a shame this stuff happens in a sector that should know better...Please don’t be like these devs. If you make a half-assed request it is only reasonable to expect a half-assed response and nothing more. -
So much rant about managers...Managers also got managers...and so on...Hence the rant goes and goes on...Goes higher...Any idea where it may stops?
🤔🤔🤔🤔
- A quick thought rant..4 -
So when someone chooses the type of rant as "devrant", are they thinking the other rant types will end up on some other website?
Maybe the rant type should say: "devrant (meta)"4 -
Continue from previous rant.
Now we are working on weekend to finish this project on those Node.js micro-services and Angular project. -
It would be cool if the comments for the rant postings were able to be viewed/interacted with on the rant feed without leaving the page.1

!Rant about dev but a rant about one of my classes

I spend way too much time here, on my Calculus class. Rants > math.

I should uninstall this app so I can focus, but I can t! Damm Devrant!5 -
I fucking hate when devrant refreshes the feed when I pull down but not release my finger. Especially most of the times I already start reading the second rant but it all goes away with a flick...
Happened many times I even started changing my screen touching habits in order not to fall into this pit but still sometimes it happens and arrrgh.
I like sorting by algo and rarely use recent. I’m on ios so I’m not sure if it also happens on android but damn so annoying.3 -

Is it ok to post job opportunities on here?
Not sure if I want to work with a fellow devranter as I won't be able to rant about you 😐6 -
Maybe I'm just clueless and missing this somewhere, but I don't see any explanation for noobs on what's a rant/story and what's a devRant. If this is a place for devs to rant, and it defaults to rant/story, I'm just confused.5
-
@dfox it's not so nice to click on the "Web App" on visiting devrant everytime on browser.
why don't the main page direct to the Rant Feed ??10 -
@dfox I have a strange behaviour. Don't know if it's just me. But when I Click on a rant to open it on "a new window" and I give the rant a "++" and go Back afterwards, the plus icon on the specific rant changed the Color to Red but the counter didn't changed. When I Click the rant again, the counter and the Color is correct. But if I go Back again, only the Color remains, not the counter.
Does anybody else made this experience?
Thanks in advance.2 -
Last week:
Me: ++'s a rant. "Hey! That person was spot on!
Forgot about it.
This week:
Me: ++'s same rant. "Damn, this person is on fire!" Noticed that the number of ++'s dropped by one.
You guessed it. Same rant.
Should really stop smoking weed and reading deviant during work hours...1 -
Dear @dfox,
I expect clicking on images from RantList page to open the image itself, just like how it behaves on gifs.
Clicking on text will open the rant,
Or fine clicking on images or gifs will open rant and there user can open image or gif1 -

Is it possible to get notifications from a rant without having posted or ++'d it, etc?
I found there is an option to mute notifications on rants, but not vice versa.
