So when I joined this community, I was bit embarrassed because I am a tester and everyone around was a dev.

But I was wrong. I was welcomed here with a warm heart. I got love beyond expectations.

In those early days, all I wanted was enough votes so that I could afford my favourite t-shirt and matching shoes in avatar builder.

Not only I got those, but some free sticker swag and soon enough the squishy ball.

I made friends and I openly brag in public that I have some awesome friends from around the globe.

An angry yet down to earth German ranter.

The Pink Goddess.

The script master Brit.

The sysadmin enganeer from Belgium.

The account deleter from Australia.

Some awesome Muricans.

The privacy guy from the Netherlands.

Sysadmin from Sweden.

French, Swiss, Japanese, Indonesian, Burmese, Swedish, South Koreans, Middle Eastern, Fillipino, and even some fellow crazy Indians as well.

I am fucking proud to call you all my friends.

Upvotes hardly matter to me. Interaction is what I am here for. And you guys make me feel at home even though I am tester.

Founded the Team Raven and Lol club. The random mention activity was also fun.

But never did I thought I would reach the 4th top ranter position. Beating the master in his own game? Lol.

What next? I look forward to meet you all in real life. Thank you David and Tim.

Thank you devRant 😊

I did a fucking scientific study about fucking rants and found a fucking high correlation between the usage of "fuck" and the number of fucking upvotes.

A devRant Update!

Hey everyone,

We thought now would be a great time for a devRant summer update on what we've added recently and what we've been working on.

Highlights since our last update:

- We launched devRant++, a supporter program for people who want to help us cover our costs while getting some cool extra features (a supporter badge on rants/comments/profile, reserved spot on our in-app supporter list, ability to edit rants/comments for up to 30 minutes instead of 5, and thanks to immediate user feedback, we also added the ability to post a rant every 1 hour instead of 2, and post comments that are up to 2,000 characters instead of 1,000!) We are extremely happy and thankful for the great response the program has gotten and we plan to continue to improve it using your feedback.

- We added the ability to subscribe to a user's rants. This makes it so you get a notification whenever that user posts a new rant!

- We added an "active discussions" feature (available in the "more" tab on the right). If you're looking to join a conversation happening in the moment, then this feature will help you discover those rants. It shows rants that have recently been commented on so if it's a topic that interests you, you can easily get in on the discussion!

Some stuff we have in the pipeline:

- More fun avatar stuff, including fun new OS/language-themed pets
- More perks for the devRant++ subscriber program - if you have anything you'd like to see, please let us know and we will try to make it happen!
- We will be testing some stuff to help classify rant types (rants, jokes, questions, etc.) in order to create a more personalized experience
- On that note, we're also going to take some more time to do some work on the algo as we haven't done much in terms of improvement since the initial smart algo launched
- Community projects page update - we've been slacking on updating the page and apologize for that. If you have created a devRant-related project and it's not on the community page, please resend it to david@hexicallabs.com (even if you sent it already) so we can make sure it gets added. Sorry about that!

A note on community etiquite regarding voting on content:

We've always believed that one of the most important and awesome experiences on devRant is getting your content noticed and appreciated by others. If you enjoy a piece of content, you should upvote it. If you enjoy 500 pieces of content, you should upvote them all. People really appreciate others enjoying their rants and comments so let them know if you do! If you don't like content, you can downvote it with the relevant reason. What we don't encourage is voting on content that you haven't actually looked at or spamming upvotes in mass for content you're not even actually reading/viewing. While we don't encourage that, it's not explicitly disallowed so we won't impose any penalty for it.

What is strictly prohibited and enforced is using scripts or automated procedures for voting on content. Anyone who is caught doing that will have their account deleted without warning. While very rare, we caught a couple of people doing that this week and both accounts in question were immediately deleted once discovered. To be clear, this is the practice of explicitly using a script or automation to mass vote on content. You will NEVER be banned/deleted for voting on a lot of content manually, even if you vote quickly and on lots of stuff. We just want to make that clear becuase this is not meant to discourage people from voting, it is only regarding votes not placed by humans. So if you're a human voting on content, you have nothing to worry about, we promise!

Please feel free to let us know if you have any questions or feedback on any of this. We love constructive feedback and in the past it has gone a very long way to improving and advancing the devRant community. And as always, thank you to everyone who contributed to the community in any way, we really appreciate it and want to keep making your experienfce better.

Happy ranting,
~David and Tim (Team devRant)
@dfox @trogus

Some sort by Date, some by length, others by upvotes. But devrant's algorithm is so great it sorts by sarcasm.

How I feel when upvoting a post with over 175 upvotes

So my manager (a 29 y/o, who hardly can use a mac) walks towards me with a hint of panic in his eyes.

Manager: Hey commander keen, do you know how to use vertical look up in excel, I've tried, and looked at tutorials.

Me: yeah I really don't know excel (and not willing to learn, especially on the fly), I don't even have excel installed, I can write I script that does what you want.

Manager: No you have enough on your plate

3 hours later

Manager: hey I still can't figure it out, could you solve it with a script, won't that take to long

Me: no send me the files, Ill do it with a script.

I start writing 2 for loops and wait for the file, 10 ish minutes later its basicly done, just need to put in the column indexes.

I send a message on both slack channels (hey are you going to email or slack me the file)

After a hour I walk to his desk and again ask him for the file.

Manager a good 2 hours later on slack: Hey I just send you the file, I hope its not to much work, it has to happen asap.

So if you have kids, and they are not that bright by some kind of birth defect, don't worry, they can always become a manager.

But you can't get me down today. I hit 2000 upvotes and the employer is unknowingly a proud sponsor for reading and writing all these rants and comments :-) thnx devrant

When my question gets upvotes on Stack Overflow but none answers it

At job interview.

Interviewer: What are your goals in life?

Me: Well... Right now... Getting 1000 upvotes in devRant so I can get that fat cat on my avatar....

After hitting 175 upvotes only to find out the stress ball threshold got bumped to 200, I gave in and bought it.

I feel like I've made an in game purchase.

Good guy @dfox,
When he sees a good rant without upvotes, he upvotes it.
We need more like @dfox.
Be like @dfox :)

other website/app: here, upload a picture as your avatar

devrant: here, have this rpg like builder with plenty options, with everything from the shirt to the glasses and unlocks based on upvotes

i love this app

Been feeling like a caveman after moving from Java to Ruby. Reminded me of this.

- Be a Devrant lurker.
- Only created an account for upvoting.
- Desperately want that cool profile picture
- Need rant for points.

Why is my appreciation through upvotes not enough? -_-

This is where everything started. I got the chance to work with actual production code. While it is very fun to work with, in some places it's also very frustrating. And this is from where, most of my rants come from.

Thank you @dfox and @trogus for making such a beautiful community.

The best part of this community is I never have to think or take time to make jokes or posts so that I can get upvotes. I've always wanted likes or retweets or reddit upvotes. But it never worked out because I have to think so much to make clever comments or posts. Most of the time, I gave up.

But in devRant, all I do is just share what's happening in my daily dev life. My frustrations, my happiness. That's all it takes. Everyone understands, everyone cares and everyone loves.

Over time, thanks to devRant, I've understood that I was part of the wrong community. This is the community that I deserve, this is the community that every dev deserves.

Thank you all. I love you. And I promise, more rants are coming :D

Especial thanks to @Yeah69 @kevbost @yarwest @tisaconundrum @Linux @donkeyScript . I have no idea why you guys all of a sudden rapidly upvoted me. Although I would love to reach 10k naturally but won't complain haha

Satan called. He wants my upvotes.

Petition to display upvotes as hex.

Wow, I dont use mainstreem languages, so my questions dont have that much upvotes.

Now I have a question-ban from stackoverflow :(

This isnt really fair...

What I feel when browsing recent lately.

How to get ++:
1. Get Google Allo
2. Ask question about Siri
3. Screenshot and post
4. ???
5. Profit!

So my husband and best friend are arguing that I get upvotes just because I got boobs. Is it true?

If only I could transfer my devRant upvotes to Stack Overflow...

Sometimes, all of a sudden, i get a couple of upvotes on some old rants. Thank you algorithm! 😀

How stackoverflow works(for me):

- First some guru will downvote it & someone comments saying it is duplicate/easy/stupid/should be somewhere else.
- Then a very generous person comes in, says its a valid question, answers & upvotes it.
- After few hours/days, other people come looking for the same question & then they upvote it.

This is called a true happy ending.

Perfect, even the same amount of upvotes

!rant

Just read a DevRant comment and it made me laugh out loud. Looked at the user and it turned out to be an old comment of mine. Looked at the upvotes ... at least I think I'm funny. 😂

Am I the only one who, on seeing a post/rant on devRant with 49 or 99 or 149 or 199 existing ++... upvotes it to get it to an even number and then reads it?

Hey @dfox and @trogus, was wondering, are there any plans for items higher than 20K upvotes? I'm at more than 120K now and I'd like a new item and also maybe something to work towards :)

Also, I'm just asking/wondering, I know what a busy life is. This is nothing more than a question, not demanding anything! (I'm deffo not in the position to demand anything)

Thanks!

Okay, I was relatively long a member on DevRant. I upvotes 449 posts. At about my 150. upvote I accidentally double clicked the rant and I realized that you can upvote by just double clicking. Now on my 450. upvote I get this message. I thought you fixed it?

Where can I see how many upvotes i have as total? Can't find

I spent all my saving on a new PC... I wanted the stickers... But no rant of mine gets enough upvotes :/

> get 5 upvotes on Stack Overflow for an answer with some code
> update your profile to "influencer"

In an alternate universe, devs live in their own country.

They make their own rules and dictate how much they are paid. They maintain the entire world’s infrastructure.

They don’t go to work, since their entire country is the workplace and guess what? Cold beers are free(a thank you from the beer company guys for coming up with all their inventory management systems)

Pizza is free too.

There is no government (laws are passed depending on upvotes on devRant )

No racism, sexism or any other ism ending words . Devs just code.

Oh, and the state police, preferably known as keyboard warriors patrol the streets and offenders are punished by limited internet speeds. 😂. It is said some actually commit suicide because of this unbearable punishment.

Fuck yeah they have coffee farms. That’s the only thing they don’t accept as *gratitude from other nations because those sons of bitches might fuck that up too.

And everyone drives teslas 😂

Okay I have to get back to work now. That multi universe travel machine won’t buy itself.

When you +1 a rant with 99 upvotes so the user can receive the devRant squishy ball.

Damn you stackoverflow!

Why can't we declare an answer as outdated or deprecated or just plain out wrong!

I like that you have so many questions, yet when the correct solution is a 0-upvoted by a 0-rep user hidden at the very bottom between a huge amount of wrong answers and whereas the *accepted* yet wrong answer has upvotes that are skyhigh, it just wastes my time.

All that is achieved is a feedback loop enforcing a faulty answer will accumulate ever more upvotes. And waste somebody else's time in the future as well.

I cannot add the correct information, as that would harm the author's intent. I cannot edit the faulty answer to state that there is a better answer, as that would be an attempt to reply. I can downvote it, yet that just a tiny drop on a very hot stone.

All I can do is add a comment pointing to a correct answer, yet that is easily overlooked.

Come on, stackoverflow! This is madness!

Not sure if i missed some changes in the last few days, but ++ are missing on the web app ?_?

// TODO create awesome rants here to entertain other devs to earn lot of upvotes to get a devRant stressball

Turns out apple doesn't allow apps that use GPS on iPads without a GPS module. Decent idea, 100% undocumented. One stack overflow answer, zero upvotes.

When your question on StackOverflow has more than 5 upvotes and an accepted answer with around 10 upvotes, and then some asshole moderator decides it is a duplicate and deletes it.

GUYS I HAVE PI UPVOTES

When you desperately waiting for upvotes to get those stickers. So you excited over devrant notifications and then somebody commented on your post without an upvote...

I mean that's just mean....

It's my birthday and I just got enough upvotes for some stickers.

We need rubber ducks now devRant.

What happens when I open devRant:
0. Check my rant
1. Find my rant is still at 19 upvotes
2. Go and look at some other rants
3. Realise that you're procrastinating
4. Close devRant
5. Catch interesting rant whilst the app is closing
6. Open devRant

I just noticed, my rants get way more upvotes and comments of I post in the morning. There must be a lot of ranters that are on in the morning...

What do you guys call the ++'s on the post?
1. Increments
2. Upvotes
3. Plus pluses (lol)
4. Something else

Reply with your choice🦄

I'm internally moved from envy feelings against the very first users of StackOverflow.
The ones that got tens of thousands of upvotes for questions like "how to set the width of a div element?"

Back in the days DevRant used to be a small community. A rant would be seen by all, with a higher chance of marking the stress ball incentive target.
Now, those upvotes are distributed among many more users who have the privilege of upvoting to what they find more interesting.
However, this is not a rant about who has a better chance of winning a stress ball; it's about feeling proud how this community grew so healthy, and tailor made for developers!! :)
Kudos! I love this community

I wonder why stack overflow gets so much hate on here. To me, it is a tremendously helpful community. People are usually pleasant and forthcoming.

I sometimes see questions closed as "not constructive", even though it has thousands of upvotes, but generally, if you follow the rules, you'll have a good time.

Maybe people want SO to be something it is not, or maybe people behave differently around different technologies. I mostly find Python, Djang and general web answers, and they are fine

That feeling when someone sees your rant, upvotes it and then checks out and upvotes other rants of yours.

I want my dual-monitors :c Seems like I need to double my amount of upvotes then. But I want to match my avatar to my real setup! :c

I want my '+' to freeze at '+1998'. Because that's when I was born and it would look cool. Please don't ruin it guys..

Roses are red,
Im watching trees,
Stuxnets upvotes are made out of threes.

Two days ago I went to change an Nvidia driver on my Linux mint partition and it ended up breaking everything, all my fault because I'm so new to Linux, anyways to dig that hole deeper I looked for ways to fix it, found some random command that managed to destroy mint even more lol. I had no start menu and cinnamon kept going into recovery mode.

But the next day after spending time working through what to do I managed to fix it, I basically downloaded mintmenu again and uninstalled the graphics driver

All in all I think I've come closer to learning how fun Linux is, it was fun fixing what I broke rather than actually clean installing mint again.

Morale of the story: don't randomly use commands found on the net that has 3 upvotes lol

That satisfaction when @dfox upvotes one of your rants.

For some reason, I don't want to give any ++'s

Whenever I see "404" I instinctively add "x not found" after it in my head. Like if this got to 404 upvotes, I'd immediately think "404 upvotes not found." Anyone else do this? It doesn't matter what the context is, I ALWAYS do it. It's almost annoying.

*Looks up advice on how to implement something
*Finds reasonable, well written advice on Stack Overflow that recommends not using <insert latest framework here>
*Ignores advice
*Two hours of exasperated coding and git resets later
*Goes back and upvotes advice

OK ranters, get the ready for the ultimate devRant post. It contains all your favorites, in one place!

- Windows auto-updates are shit and I hate them so much, but I never even tried disabling them

- My teacher can't code well and I'm indignant and that automatically makes me a genius

- PHP is shit (and I'm obviously smart and cool for saying that)

- Based on my experience of working exclusively on personal projects or for tiny startups and maintaining 0 applications in production for a longer period, I firmly conclude your battle tested, industry standard language/framework is shit and this one that let me quickly hack a prototype together is clearly better

- What OS should I use? (as you obviously know better than me what I need from an OS)

- :insert any 10 year old joke about a programmer being witty:

- :insert any bullshit from 9gag:

Now shower me with your upvotes ✨🌟🎊

Finally got enough upvotes to get my avatar blue hair again!!
Now to not delete my account again and save up for a kitty 🐱

If you think you'll never get upvotes (like on Reddit) and your first rant on devRant:

Hey guys! So I'm new new here and it would be great to get a few upvotes so that I can create my avatar as soon as possible. I love the community and I'm planning to stay active for time to come.

Thanks :)

Everytime dfox upvotes one of my rants I feel like a fangirl inside. Think of a big hairy guy reacting like a fangirl.. disturbing isn't it ? 😂

Sometimes I get scared that one of my posts is gonna get so many downvotes that it'll remove my previous +1000 that I have.

When I see someone with 14 upvotes, I'll just up vote so that they get the stickers (or I really find it funny/relatable 🙃)

Got my stickers! Albeit had to pay for them, don't have enough upvotes :(

I'm starting to think we might need a global union for developers. I have been reading the comments today and it looks like a lot us getting way underpaid.

New features should be a moment of joy if they are released. So far so good. People really liked the idea of working together on opensource project. The app is updated. But then we encountered a major problem. It looks like some of us are getting so underpaid that they can't pay for the 14 dollar it cost to start the opensource project they want. We must rebel against this.

14 dollar, how much is 14 dollar. How many hobbies cost 14 dollar to start up. From running to collecting stamps. Its going to cost you more And how many hobbies are you as passionate about as your own open source project.

The next great thing is that it is show in the place where developers are eagerly looking to join a opensource project. And will probably join you're product because I'm sure between all of us there are tons of wonderfull ideas just waiting to be build.

And for me personal I do not mind supporting an app that I use almost every day. And just keeps growing without annoying ads.

So you should be more then willing to pay 14 dollars. And are ready to start recruiting your team.

And if you really can't pay. Your house burned down, you needed it for food. Your only pc is beyond saving. You can be a positive force in this community and do pay with upvotes.

But if you are to much a cheapskate to pay 14 dollars well, I think I was clear enough.

A C++ question. Correct answer will get you a virtual thug glasses & a cigar if you're into that , and upvotes (:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {

int i = 4;

int* p = &i;

i = 8;

printf("i divided by *p is: %d\n", i/*p);

return 0;

}

What is the result of running this code?

There's a service I'm using with a few internet buds to listen to synchronized music via YouTube.

This service gives you points for every song that you are to the queue and for every time a person upvotes a song that you queued.

I wanted to surprise my buds tomorrow morning, so I logged in using 3 different accounts and upvoted myself using a script that I wrote, until...

One of the owners got into the chatroom 😂
I told him of my little scheme, we got to talking. Gave him some advice about how he could take care of certain loopholes and then we started taking about work etc.

Yada yada yada, he works for a big, famous profitable company and I just sent him my CV 😎😂😍❤

I've determined that there is a direct correlation between profanity and upvotes. So... FUCK!

Aha. Worked hard to maintain a reputation on SO. Mail came yesterday saying all my upvotes were fake, and suspended my account.

1500! Thz everyone!

Protip to get free upvotes on Stackoverflow:

Ask something about Behat and make sure your questions looks smart. No one will ever answer but you'll get lots upvotes. FML.

Damn, I get more upvotes here than my stack overflow.

fml :/

When your post has more upvotes than you.

I sometimes wonder how people upvoted at my 2+ months old rant........

How??????

So, apparently you guys are having some trouble understanding wk46.
When someone suggests the topic, you should not actually reply with a rant you'd post in that topic.

Keep the content and post it when the topic gets used.
(you'll also get more upvotes since it'll be a rant instead of a comment)

@dfox bug report time (at least it looks like one)!

I have ~400 upvotes atm.
For shoes in pic you need 1500 of them.
How i did this?
I equipped them when they were free afaik.

Lots of questions going on about devRant. Just want to make devRant better.

1. Please tell the update intervals of upvotes and downvotes. Is there a delay? Doesnt really matter but i see many times i got a upvote notif but my score didnt increased...

2. Duplicate image algo is so poor. I know it is only in beta, but i see so many reposts which has the same pic but only with the resolution different or the image with the devrant watermark.

3. Minor, tags should be also saved when exitting the post rant activity.

4. Feature request : go to top, bottom in rant

5. Please make web app accessible in mobile. I think you check the user agent for the web app, but can you make it available to mobile users who cant download the app?

6. When accessing the web app in mobile, i type devrant.io/feed
Then, by the wonderful intent you made, it opens the app automatically. I was writing a rant, but it was all deleted.

7. Any new podcasts and cartoons planned?

8. Still bug not fixed.
Write a comment in a long rant.
Delete the comment you just wrote.
You cant reply to the last person comment.

Thanks.

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... '

Can you rant about yourself?

I was reading about the AWS outage, with little to no interest. I didn't know what it was and thus figured it wouldn't affect me.
Some time goes by and I come up with this 300++ vote post. I'm witty, I'm smart, but when I want to upload a photo it doesn't work.
Must be the app right? I restart, nope nothing. Whatever..

Sometime later I have a dashing new photo for tinder. Surely to give me all the matches. Nope, can't upload it.
Must be my phone or Internet then.
Restart everything, nothing is working. Complete madness, no devRant upvotes and I'm still single.
I surrender, give up. Which is one of the worst things to do for me as a dev.

Today. Which is the cherry on the cake. I finally see my connection to the incident. I feel stupid and annoyed by myself.
God dammit Julian, pay attention.

</rant>

Sometimes I would like to rank the intensity of my likes/upvotes/++'es (depending on what social media I'm using). I know this would make things extra complicated and it would be a bad idea. But sometimes I upvote something because I agree with a statement or I just like the post, but sometimes a post makes me feel so understood or it makes me laugh for 3min straight and that makes me want to upvote it 3 times as much as the others. But I guess that's where the favourite function comes into play

How do I promote my open source projects?

I mean, @ai (Andrey Sitnik) have published nanoid and received about 600 github stars in just one first day. I have recently published Tears, webserver for SPA, and received only 7 stars, all of them from my friends.

I've tried posting on hackernews (3 upvotes), github tags, several gitter chats, with absolutely no impact.

So how do I promote my projects?

@gia85 you have made it into the hall of fame in devrant in one day. Respect. Thank you for the upvotes. You're awesome :). I think more people know you now than @dfox

A big, fat FUCK YOU to everyone who pushes out app-updates with generic "Improvements for speed and reliability" changelogs. I hope you and all your descendants, relatives, friends and pets get huge, hairy, painful warts between your buttcheeks that grow larger every day and return after every attempt to have them removed. Fuck you, and fuck your bullshit updates.

And if there are any devs on devRant guilty of this behaviour, fuck you too. I hope your sexual organs rot and fall off, and that you lose all your upvotes.

OH MY GOD! I really just want to comment to that guys answer on stackoverflow, that he's right and his answer works... but I have only 4 reputation - because I'm a good dev searching intensively, finding an answer to almost everything a can think of!

If I ever get over 15 reputation (it's so sad, I know) stackoverflow will explode because of all my upvotes that are not counted until then... At least something satisfying here :/

Who else clicks on the profile of everyone who upvotes their posts?

I have upvoted good questions, helpful comments and useful answers on SO for a long time now, although I don’t have enough reputation (15 needed to count upvotes).
Once I reach this 15 points get ready for a big rain of upvotes 😁

First post got more than ten upvotes! Yeaaa
Avatar build 🤖

What are your favorite distros for Linux? I'm new to Linux so I'm just curious on what's out there that you guys use most and what's most convenient for development! Also can I PLEASE get some upvotes I want an avatar so bad lol

Post joke get some nice upvotes.

Post actual rant , not so much 😂😂😂

there was a time when people were begging for upvotes for stress ball and stickers now it is abt avatar. different times different measures

That moment when you see only rants with max 6 upvotes and switch to algo only to realise that you are already on algo

"what are you doing today?"
"try leveling"
"in wow legion?"
"no, devrant"
xD

Am I the only one who is just to lazy to order devrant stickers even if my posts have enough upvotes? :D
Don't get me wrong i love stickers!

Is anybody else having issues with their upvotes showing up?

Why do you love devrant?

The person with the most upvotes will get a free stress ball.

So they give us a stress ball if a rant gets that many "upvotes". I find that really stressful, waiting and waiting.. And never get there. In the end of the day we are stressed af and with no stress ball 😂.
But hey, who da hell get stressed for this little? We devs are already stress free...

I found a solid solution to get +100's easily!

You just have to:
... [read more]

Just out of curiosity how many different countries are on this? Could you comment below? (And please for the love of god don't ++ this, save your upvotes for someone who deserves them, like that dude with the percentage happiness table)

When your one rant that showed real potential to get you that stress ball has now slowed. Each new upvote revives the hope and you think - c'mon c'mon, nearly there!

I'd like to build a visual Web of what it looks like with every user connected to eachother by their upvotes to one another. @Localhost would probably end up at the center.

It would be interesting to see nodes that would end up being a complete sink of upvotes.

Am I the only one who won't upvote a post with 69 upvotes?

I just realized I didn't make my first post a hello world post and I just threw away a bunch of potential upvotes. Hopefully it's not too late. Hello world!

Is there a thing like getting shadowbanned from downvoting on devrant or people just running bots that automatically upvote them if they hit negative upvotes?

Whenever I downvote anything thats at 0 upvotes (for ex. even spam that just didnt get noticed, where I cant report it on desktop), it instantly gets nulled, even on the most hidden and old rants.

I dont think theres always a registered user per every single rant out there at any given time that upvotes somebody. (often very deep down the comments)

devRant suggestion: Comment Bump. Bump up the comments on a rant, the ones with most upvotes get bumped up to the top. Possible pitfalls, where comments have replies which could break the order and make no sense. I guess I just talked myself out of that one. Meh.

Thank you everyone for the 1000++ upvotes. DevRant has been amazing since day one. 💙

happiness is get upvotes for my answers in stackoverflow

Quick tip:
When an answer in SO has more upvotes than the question, has so many comments, and has so many explanation, so many code, and so many links, IT HAS A HIGH POSSIBILITY THAT IT IS A TROLL.

God damn i hate when programmers don't have any humor, and leave a comment saying
TROLL. PLEASE STOP THIS. FUCK

Good thing, devRant is full of people who HAS humor. Thank goodness.

tl;dr gone off topic

50k devRant installations and all I get is 7 upvotes. This must be a bug since I'm hilarious.

It would be nice to have the count of upvotes written in hexadecimal... What do you think?

2 more upvotes on my last post for the stress ball. Who wants to do the honours?? 😀😀

Is devRant using Google Analytics for upvotes (on web)? My privacy protection apps have removed the ++ button because of that on web :(

It's oddly satisfying to have a ducky on my avatars desk. Thanks everyone for the upvotes. Cheers!!! 😁🍻

How the fuck do you get over 10k points on stackoverflow? Are these people actually developing and pursuing a job or are they just F5ing in the questions news section?

Recently I tried to get some upvotes on answers, but there was not one decent question in one hour which would have gotten me more then 1-2 upvotes.

When my rant has more comments that upvotes...

Just updated the app to use the avatar builder, now I have a goal in life, get enough upvotes so I can get my avatar some slippers, I love coding in slippers or bare feet

Today I asked a question on RPG stackexchange, I made some typos, didnt format it nicely, added a wrong tag.

Within a minute I had 10 upvotes and an answer, people formatted my question and people improving the answer.

I was so surprised that people actually where nice. StackOverflow is one of the few stackexchanges that really sucks...

Why are devs such jerks?

Am I the only one who's slightly triggered when I ask a question, get no upvote, and when someone answers, he gets 2 or 3 votes and people commenting like "yeah I'd do the same"?
I mean, it's like being the father who'se wife is being congratulated for being pregnant, she wouldn't be if I didn't do my job 😎

!Rant (but for those few who keep on giving me upvotes)

First workout done today. How did it go? Really well. In fact, it went so well that I couldn't open the repurposed fire door (thick, heavy metal).

Thx. For making me evil using Windows (-rant).
Maybe I can fetch that coffee to go today?

!rant

The moment when @dfox upvotes your rant.

I was born the same year as my score if anyone upvotes this story once.

Right now just looking for rants not about Apple, Microsoft, and wanting upvotes...
(Tell me if you find any)

Another manifestation of the irony of life:

I have a few intricate questions on StackOverflow, with a couple of upvotes. I fewer answers, also with a couple of upvotes.

But once, I posted a question due to pure sloppiness: I had forgotten to set up exception options in Visual Studio. That's my most upvoted SO question.

Come back a few days and check my rant. Got lots of upvotes. #unexpected

Hahaha. Nice April Fool's prank. Number of upvotes in binary...

Just curious, but do a lot of people here actually search content using tags. I made a post on CSS around 2 weeks back and it still gets upvotes pretty regularly.

when your rant almost got you stickers but you were 1 ++ short and then min upvotes got raised
;__;

Need ya help

i can't figure it out. i am working on a q&a webpage and i want to make an upvote/downvote system.

How or what should i use to save when a user upvotes a question on a database without needing to refresh the page.

I have no ideea ><

PS: as backend i use php and mysql for the database

I had thought of creating a rant post declaring my current upvotes score and I'd challenge people to change my score, there would be an app that would continuously monitor my score and update the rant post with the latest number, but sadly, you can't keep on editing the post a certain time after it was posted. :(((((

Some post 5 posts to achieve 2000 ++ while others post 2000 posts to achieve 5 ++, all fingers in an hashset

Is my total +1 score supposed to go up if I get upvotes on comments because currently it doesn't?

Is there a list of my upvotes?
I'm looking for a Linux distro someone made a post about but I can't find the name anymore I only know I upvoted.

Infinite loop definition: when you post on devRant the stickers you received from devRant and you get upvotes, so you can request more swag from devRant that you then post again on devRant.

Is it me or are stickers just too easy to obtain? I feel like instead of raising the already seemingly unattainable stressball, they should've lowered that and increased the amount of upvotes required for stickers.
