Classic

rantBlock: Replace browser ads with rants.

Reading other people's rants.

Step 1. Get a large touchscreen monitor. Connect it.

Step 2. Modify the driver so touches don't actually cause clicks or anything.

Step 3. Let it play a sudden, loud BEEP instead. Increase the volume for each subsequent touch.

Step 4. Lean back and watch people learn that you don't like your screen being touched.

Rants, Google Instant way.

When two rants go together so well

Job opening tells us that they want someone who knows:
C, C++, C#, Java, VB, PHP, HTML, Javascript, MySql, Postgree, windows, Linux, Mac OS, a degree in computer science and a few years of experience.

What you'll actually do in most of those jobs: Deal with Excel spreadsheets.

Im disappointed that the weekly rants did not start with wk0

Rant number 1000. Let's see how this one goes :D

Here a beer as for celebration!

2 mins of silence for all those rants you composed, yet you chose to not post it.

What If our Boss's read our Rants...
OH GOD NO!

But

What If they write there OWN rants about us?

Now im scared

When ur rants only ++ is from dfox

Hello devRant! I was introduced to this app by a friend and decided to share my own rants.

Short tale from IT:
*User's laptop full of viruses upon 1 day of use*
User: It came like this! One of your IT guys must have put viruses on it.
Me: Yeah I'm sure that's the case.
*Sees rediculous download history in the last 24 hours*

I'm sure there will be plenty dev rants to come, as I am starting my software development career very soon.

The feels when @dfox +1's your rants.

I need to stop reading devRant posts on the train and in public in general. These rants be cracking me up too much. Most awkward when you try to explain to someone who cares to know what's so funny and you know they can't relate so you're just sitting like.....

Why can I subscribe to my own rants? 🙃confused 🙃

What the shit!!!

At 11:00
While studying
"ah... I'm sleepy, can't tolerate any more", and just go to bed.

At 11:05
While scrolling rants
"hahaha... So true, same happened with me.. bla bla...."

At 12:47
Doing same thing from last 1 hour 40 mins
Even not sleepy yet!!!

It's too addictive. Having so much good posts, much better than fb feeds.... Loving the rants... New experience

Don't tell me rants can't jump...

Can we, please, put some substance into our rants? Over the course of the last weeks the amount of rants of the type "%NAME% %SWEARWORDS%" has increased tremendously. You want tell everyone that (for example) Windows can go fuck itself? Great. But why? What is the story behind you're enragement?

Please make this place more fun to browse by sharing stories. Not just a random amount of names and swearwords.

@dfox should split devrant into categories.

-rants
-advice/help
-weekly rants (already there)
-dev memes

Then people can just read rants or whatever they want without other things getting in the way.

Down vote can also be used if something is in the wrong category

Some serious rants at YouTube today I'm sure ...

Hi!
I developed a little script in Ruby to collect some analytics from the rants posted in the last 24 hours!
In the last 24 hours there were...
-193 Rants posted
-Total words in those rants: 8693

This gives us an average of 45, 01 words per rant.

When rants line up....

Third time I Miss my metro station because i'm reading rants.. Yep devRant is awesome 😊

when i get notifs that people liked certain rants, i see these rants and get angry again

Were the fuck are all the rants?!

All this funny shit is 'fun' but fuck. I miss old rants.

Not enough rants.
Need more rants.

I hate how people complain when someone posts a !rant, but then also complain about legitimate rants. "wow, you were angry in that one! Why the all caps?" WHY THE FUCK NOT? This is devRant, where we rant about things. If someone is genuinely pissed off about something, then they should be able to come here and express their anger! If we use all caps, then we're extremely pissed! There's nothing wrong with that! If windows started an update in the middle of a project, you have all rights to complain about it here. Let us rant in peace!

Sometimes between all those rants you need postivity

Letmecode rants about me

funny lol

Yo, is this devrant or spamspace???

Like, do you even fucking work, mates? Are you a dev? How doesn't a fucking legacy code piss you off on a daily basis? What are all the ways you want to respond to your customer's/PM's abuse? Does your lead dev even know jackshit?

Where did all your quality rants go? Why do you all sound like second graders writing essays for school? Have some passion for your job, and hatred for the incompetence for others!

Now, go produce some quality rants! Funny ones too! Bonus points if it's angry-funny.

convinced a friend to join devrant, have to read his every day rants anyway.

he: are you allowed to swear there?
me: are you kidding? THIS IS FUCKING DEVRANT
he: okay i'm in

These two rants are perfectly sorted

We should give it a name to when devRant algo nails two consecutive rants with a purposeful meaning

I'm not a huge fan of the idea of this place becoming a Q&A for code...
I mean that's what Stackoverflow is for.
I came here for good Rants and occasional memes.

that moment when one of your comments have more ++'s than most of your rants! 😂

256 rants!

Hello, World! Get ready for tons of rants!

Not found new rants since last visit!

I'm the only one who up votes most of the rants and expecting in return up votes on my own rants too?

Introduced my friend to VSCode. He was skeptical about switching from Sublime to Code but he decided to try it out anyway.

Guess what's his favourite editor now 😂

Meme no. 3

When residual +1's trickle in from an old rant of mine, I feel like a rockstar from the 80's who still gets royalty checks from that one hit they recorded...

The freaking furniture people didn't complete things on time and our business development department is still not finished. The freaking reception desk is not there yet.

Here I am going to my new office on Saturday morning. Not to code but to monitor those guys to get things done by today.

Want to say thank you for your fucking good rants.

Life lessons.

Touch my screen, i dare you

I mean go ahead, its a touchscreen, cool, huh?

Me: "I use express"

F***!!! I can never post a rant/comment without making a typo and then realizing it and then editing it. Evry single one is edited.... why??😲

At least Harambe enjoys my rants!

Am I the only one around here that checks daily rants before going to sleep? O.o

When rants are TLDR

So, I'm living in a completely computer illiterate family and I was called to help my father with something on a Laptop where he wanted to stream his favorite Soccer-Club.

So I walk up to him, ask what's wrong, and he says (roughly translated from German) "That thing doesn't work!"

And I'm just like ((Wat u mean))
So I ask him to explain the problem in detail.
Apparently his streaming service wasn't loading his stream.

Well damn I say, try searching for the problem on Google and find a solution.
((But no no no imma just call my son for everything that's freaking wrong with tech, he sure knows what to do))

As I'm not that experienced with Webservices as of yet, I had no idea what to do.

He was fucking furious!

"You always act like you know everything about tech and programs and stuff and can't even help me with fixing this Stream-Thing?!"

I responded simply by saying "It's not my area of work!"

Seems like he didn't know the difference between TECH-JESUS and hobbyist software engineer.

So I stand there and he just goes on one of these typical boomer tech illiterate rants, of which I'm sure you can imagine enough being on this platform.

tl;Dr; It pisses me of big time how people are not even trying to understand technology, nor attempting to help themselves by eG. Googling some simple problem, but rather just ask around and then being pissed off if the asked person just doesn't know the answer or can't help!

First week of my first dev job.
Everything is awesome. No rants.

!rant
With all the people around here ranting about their PM's, I'm really curious to see how a PMRant app would look like. What are they complaining about?
Devs that listen to music all day long and never want to be disturbed?
Engineers who talk in long, incomprehensible words?
...TDD taking too long?

When dev rant is the devil but you're cool with it because the memes are relatable.

I just discovered that a couple rants here talked about an open source project of mine 😍

Also, they were !rants 😄

Thanks for appreciating it! 😄

Is it weird that i enjoy all these rants and the dev's frustration?
it really calms me down whenever i see a long rants, creative insults, excessive swearing
because it reminds me that my situation could be lot worse, thank god I'm not in one of those situations

HAHAHAHAHAHA! He set a method public because its for public API. Yup you wasted your phd. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Who else rants to recruiters? At 7am?

What an error Message...so descriptive everyone knows what it means

@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 😎 👍

Stop asking for a ++. The whole point of that is to give it unsolicited, otherwise it devalues what ++ means for everyone else. I earn my ++'s.

And no I don't have change for coffee!

Hello devRanters. I'm new to this community but I've already started feeling comfortable here. You guys are great!

I don't understand why there are more rants about front end developers. I hardly see any rant by a system developer or a security analyst.

500 rants!!
WHOOOOHOOOO

Wait for me, 1K!

for rant in rants:
if rant.isawesome():

I sometimes feel my rants are underrated

this is the rant of the rants

!rant

@dfox
Many people use snippets of code in their Rants, so it's maybe a nice feature to be able to add codeblocks to rants..

Don't you think DevRant needs favorite rants i find it quiet difficult to get back to certain rants!

Ive got a suggestion for this app. When one rants, he has to select whether its a rant, joke, achievement, celebration, (or your wife gave a birth to a baby) etc etc and we can filter them on our "Rants" activity.

And when dfox comes up with algo v3 he can preference different rants according to categories.

Very high number of quality rants lately. Trending up fast in my opinion. Even today - Saturday which used to be a lighter day.
Becoming a nice challenge to read them all. Way to go. Keep on ranting! What do you think about the rant volume and quality?

I hadn't used devRant in a while since I'm preparing for an upcoming job interview and was trying to stay away from my phone.

However, I cracked today and I spent the whole afternoon staring at this beautiful dark-themed interface and reading rants.

How many of you already feel you have wasted one week of 2020?

Not being able to edit rants after 5 minutes. Apparently you can upset people if you're not entirely clear in your rants. Who knew?

Is it just me, or does devRant now display the exact same rants as before whenever you open it? I've seen the same 5 rants 20 times today.

Sudden realization: wk82 rant... year has 52 weeks?! Ok, must be from the beginning of week rants and going on... But are these week rants a thing from the start of the devRant?
Is devRant.getAge() == weekRants.getAge() true?

Rant other than other rants this week

What if we fed all rants and comments on devRant to a neural network trained to write rants and comments on others?

Are there rants with negative ++'s?

How I react when I encounter bugs...

Wow, there's been no rants since my last visit

Rants
Rants everywhere

Yikes - head down ranting and almost missed train to the city. Whew - next one in an hour. Rants getting too good 😀

Does anyone ever have this, that, when you see a post with loads of upvotes/comments you're like 'fuck, I really should've posted that myself (insert weeks or whatever) ago... '

Guys, check your tags before posting on weekly rants. There are a few of you still posting under previous week's tag. The question and the answer don't match. 😛

Also, I think I just scared someone off because I mentioned the wrong tag. 😬

When I want to read some new Dev Rants , and there's no new Dev Rants.

!rant && Thanksgivings++

I am truly thankful to be a programmer for it is the only job on Earth where doing mistakes is the profession itself.

Think about it. We make more mistakes than other professions on DAILY basis. If a doctor miss a step during a diagnosis or an operation, a fucking human being might die. Engineers, lawyers, teachers you name it. They are not allowed to make mistakes.

Us? We are earning money from other people for all the hours we spent fixing the mistakes which we made in the first place.

I like one liner rants.

Are rants time sensitive? 🙄

You will think you are having a bad day, until you come on devRant and read so real shit happening to people.

And, I honestly do find most of the rants here to be fucking hilarious.

I know and understand that these are real frustrations people are going through; but bitch, can I laugh if I find your rant funny? And use some symbols too?

Will be skiing and thinking of rants!

A little and sweet rant about RANTS! What the hell guys, I can finally think about a social network happily, but I have the feeling that I'm not a part of this awesome community :'( I mean, everyone is getting problem with some clients or whatever. But I'm currently unemployed, and never really get through that kind of problems. Ok they lied to me on the job, ok I paid 15000 euros 2 years of school where there were still people who doesn't care about the work, ok I left my girlfriend, ok I have a fucking hard time to go back to work with that... But all of this is not really juicy, my life is simple and mostly happy :'(
Maybe I should hope that my next job will be with stupid people :o
I love you guys <3

!dev

I don't like your rants. 😛

Me - "Designs and creates a new staff page for work"

Result - "everyone at work loves it"

Me - "I feel really accomplished"

Co-worker - "I'm gonna use this design, that you made, for my interviews for jobs and say I made it"

Me - "wtf"

I hate it when I start coding a React Native project on Monday at 8:30 am at work and my right lung malfunctions.

With so many rants about Visual Studio, I wonder if there are devs here from the VS team and they read these rants xD

Devs! Heard about this thing called going to sleep without dreaming about ways to fix a bug?

Whenever I force myself to sleep whenever I get stuck on a bug or confused about the implementation of a feature and started dreaming about the approaches I can take. Most of the time I wake up around 2 or 3 am to try out an idea I had and most of the time it works.
Now I fear this is becoming a habit. Is it something I worry about or ignore since my problem is getting solved?

devRant makes me late for work in the morning...

!rant

Having lots shitty comments and lots of shitty rants is like having passive income, the ++ come slowly but surely.

Wow or wtf to these banks API. was integrating an API for a service which accept JSON input.
Okay fair enough, that would be fine
Spent an hour writing code(purescript) most of time spent was on writing Types based on the API doc. after that okay let me test the API it failed.
I was what happened? So tested the API from postman with the payload from the doc, it worked. What how?
used a JSON diff to compare the payload from postman and the log. Looked same to me after spending few hours checking what is wrong with it .trying changing value to pasting the body of the log request in postman and trying everything failed.
Later went to the original working payload provided by them and changing the order. It started throwing error. I was like wait what?
It must be only on there UAT. created a payload with production creds and hoping to our production server (they have IP whitelist) ran the curl with proper payload as expected it worked. Later for same payload changed the order or one key and tried it failed.
Just why????
I don't want to create a JSON with keys on specific order. Also it's not even sorted order.

Saw 8+ repeated rants today ☹️ #feelsBadMan

I have had it with the new pm for my project. We've had to literally write down rules for him to follow on how we want to run our project.
- we always go over time on standup because he's asking everyone specific questions about each ticket we're working on instead of just letting us give our updates. Wrote a rule for not doing that.
- he gets overly excited to get things done to the point that he's approved a PR himself and merged a production release during off hours.
- we're a team of 3 devs but he has 7 big items he wants us to work on concurrently.
- we use jira to keep track of things but he insists on us updating a spread sheet that he made as well. We just straight up told him no but he'll bring it 3 times every week.
- he wants us to write a report of our daily progress in our jira ticket before we give the same updates on standup
- every time I give him an estimate, he tells the clients it's a promise we'll get it done by x date.
- he never pushes back and says yes to everything
- oh here's a funny one, he's "reviewed" my code several times

Idk what to do here anymore. We've literally talked to him about all of these issues. He'll change for a few days and go back to doing whatever he does.

When all the n00bs start signing up to devRant that have 0 idea what development and/or rants are!!

Anyone else suddenly started seeing really old weekly rants? (Specifically for me, wk4, wk11) Has the algorithm changed?

Its better to be at a good position in a shit company, than be at a shit position in a good company...

What's this? Where's my rants!

Or did I missed any other type...

What is it about robot collected data that makes researchers so anal? Like, dude, it's not even personal data. It's literally robot's joint motor recordings. It's not nuclear data, so why the fuck do you protect it like your life and your country depend on it?

I hope you get fisted by that data every night and how it will end up in oblivion sooner because you didn't publish it. You asshole.

What do rants means?

Is it bad practice that I stay late(night) reading rants without coding?

I NEED MORE ANIMATED RANTS!
NOW!
no please make more of them they were amazing, especially the GODDAM SOUNDS AT THE BEGINNING AND THE END! SO FUCKING AMAZING!

I see way too many syadmin rants and internet down rants..

Funfact you can report your own rants

So we can’t tag people in rants?

I just subscribed to my own rants 🤔

@dfox Feature request
Can you please give me the option to load the whole rants. I don't want to use the story feature because I want to see all the rants.

Regarding many of my rants and, I would suspect, many rants on here.

Flareon has rants to post!

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.

I made my own blog dedicated to personal rants on ZeroNet and count already 34 people sharing it. That's insane. I guess people like people ranting and that's what @trogus and @dfox figured before everyone ;)

Just scrolled down my list of rants

I didn't even notice how much I've posted already
I like devrant, a lot

I've read so many rants while testing my app that I have to implement the Surprise Me feature.

(My app filters out rants I've seen before)

I need to see more Android dev rants/stories nooow!!!!!!!!

Does the devRant API provide for authenticating and posting new rants?

I've found several unofficial docs that mention grabbing rants and profiles but none that I've found have a method to post rants.

So I was going through rants and saw people disliking the rants vocally. I started upvoting the rants. I smiled to myself.
So I stuck in my thumb and pulled out a plumb, oh what a good boy am I?

I was wondering.... why are rants public?
Shouldn't be better for DevRant's feed to be visible only to logged members?

When a ranter repeats posting rants againts ranters who repost rants...

What is that called ???

Hello all,

Did a MASSIVE spam down vote action..

If you've watched the algo-list you kinda had an idea how much spam there was. In exception of rants, it also down vote the spam comments posted under regular rants. Also made a progress with historic rants.

I think I leave it at this for now, gonna do some machine learning for spam and will apply that as filter in the future.

Site is now clean enough now to not encounter spam just browsing the site.

Our new frenemy Buffon gave as tip the no index tag what is a great idea for users not having reputation < 5 or so. Will contact dfox if he's willing to do this small change.

If there's one thing I hate about devs is definitely when they get too emotional about the reviews they receive.

Doing a thorough review always takes significant amount of time and energy. It's about ensuring high quality of code, about functionality and best practices, ... It's also about learning: I learn from the changes being reviewed while at the same time I also try to teach the author as much as possible, giving down to earth opinions.

It's never (or at least should never be) about attacking the author. There really is no reason why someone would spend all this time getting overly personal.

I used to start my responses with (lousy) apologies for being "harsh", but stopped doing this now that my team understands all of this. It also helped asking them to do the same with my changes. The look in their eyes when they find something is simply invaluable :).

Am I the only one who will spend half an hour reading through the "top all-time rants" section of devRant to figure out why they're so popular? I just can't shake that feeling that there's some sort of pattern there that I can optimize...

Guess I must be a developer, given that last statement :D

Cant post rants sincen im on vacations and I Dont have my every day inspiration of rants :(

Did you hear the upcoming features?
1. Video Rants,
2. Boomerang Rants,
3. Live Streaming via Google glasses

Wow, rants as videos! Great!

Weekly Out-Of-Context Thread

I'm looking for comments on rants. Not just any comments people, but comments that are non-sequiters, comments that are hilarious, or make no sense when taken from their original rant.

Anyone participating should link back to the original post to give credit. It would be great to get some regulars in here, but ideally we can prod some people into action that aren't on as much.

POST for our AMUSEMENT SLAVES! POST FASTER I SAY! FASTER!

I got a question about the devrant api.
I’m trying to query the 1000 most recent rants with the /rants endpoint. Trying to get 50 rants per request.
After about 550 rants queried, the api response starts being essentially empty, but the success flag is set to true.
Am I running into some underlying limit preventing me from viewing more rants?

So I was wondering, there are so many rants about fellow devs here, do they get offended by the rants or try to learn from the fuck ups? :)

There should be a function to stop reading rants.
You press it and no more rants load at the end.

Ocean of rants!!

@dfox @trogus Is there any archive of all rants somewhere which one could download? It would be interesting to try to make an AI to write rants...

"Rants and comments can only be edited for 5 mins after they are posted."

5 mins is not fair; I think it must be at least 30 mins (or an hour).

Why are there so many one line rants (most of them aren't rants) and have wk36 as a tag? 😕

How do you deal with situation when u need to merge multiple feature branches to develop branch? All feature branches have develop branch as base. So as soon as one feature is merged to develop then there will be contlicts in other feature branches.

Should I merge first feature branch to develop, then rebase feature2 branch on most recent develop and then merge the rebased feature2 branch to most recent develop and continue like that?

What if later I need to do hotfixes for previously merged branches? Should I revert them then rebase them on most recent develop and once again merge it to develop? Or should I just make small commits for fixes.

@dfox do you have a bot that randomly ++'s rants or do you actually read that many rants?

Does the weekly rant page have some kind of off-by-one error? It seems to always display the last week's posts on mondays.

How far back do the rants go?

During the last day two rants with controversary debates dissapeared here. Is there a moderator deleting such rants?

while (200 parts of code !=1 part of coffee;rant++)

Rant:
My jupyter notebook has outgrown itself on some real world trading data analysis and its becoming a pain to add to (further) and share.
Need to find better alternatives, web apps where are you?

But i know nothing about it. Learning curve ahead!

Requirements:
I've 7 interactive dashboard plots (from some data) in jupyter-notebook.
- It'd be nicer to have a web app to use them without running notebook from a different location.
- Or running notebooks remotely (running as daemons on host machine).
Any suggestions for a starter ?
rant before requirements, coz rants lead to better requirements.

if rant++:
make_requirements(what_something)
do_work(that_something)

I saw few rants about "working in a box". Isn't that legacy technique and we all are now working in open space?I have auto adjusting chair that costs more than my month salary, desk which raises when I push button, console rooms etc etc

Still some thinks that we are slaves of companies working 'in the boxes '. If you are on devrant and you agree with this kind of jokes I must say that you have chosen a bad place to work ;(

Rants about devRant... So meta!

Software Idea: correlation between MicroShit updates vs number of rants on that date

guess that would give some interesting results

Feature request (has most likely been already requested): @mentions in rants

So I was getting a lot of small ++ rants, nonenjoyable rants and rants I had seen before... turns out I was using the recent search rather than algo..... explains everything

Meeeen this is crazy. The director created a testing route inside the actual api controller instead inside the spec file. Common man. We better than this. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Forgetting to add tags on rants. Aarrrgghhh!

Wouldn't it be great to have feature to mark a rant as "read" and then a settings filter which says hide read rants on refresh?

One doesnt really want to unwillingly upvote/downvote rants to keep a track of read ones.

Is it just me, that when tapping a rant on mobile the UI marks multiple list items as "selected", although only the one a actually tapped is opened?
It happens within the time I've written this, independently of app restart and it randomly highlights multiple rants below the selected rant, like a connected group of rants.
Anyone an idea?

The times I have to laugh reading Dev rants. I don't even know. I never count.
