Have you ever wondered we programmers have so many strong communities.... Stackoverflow, devRant, Reditt, etc...
No other profession has such communities... Why? Why?
Because, we haven't built one for them.... 😂😁

The las few days I was thinking about this, trying to imagine what a community for biologists would be like.

I also have the idea sometimes that 50% of the websites are about web development (or at least tools, frameworks or services for web development). it's like an industry that creates it's own work. infinite loop

Notalwaysright.com :P

Lol!

Yup, had a similar moment a year ago "I just created a development tool, for developing development tools, for developers, to maybe one day develop a thing - probably related to further development".

@letmecode sadly I am already eligible for stress ball for one of my previous rant. But @dfox isn't replying to my mails.... I sent a reminder mail too....

@mhocalc do u belong to pornstar community or programmers community....?

For all the stereotypes people create about programmers, including social awkwardness and being a bunch of arrogant trolls, as a new developer I have never found a more welcoming and supportive community.

Hahahahaha.

@mhocalc yes that's the other 50%

hahahahahhahahahaha right on point

I'll tell you why, because only we would want to know the computationally most efficient way to flatten a binary tree into a linked list at 3 :07am.

Btw I totally did not realize that the time 3:07am as I'm typing this!!!!!! And I chose 3:07 am because of the movie : the conjuring 1

To bad we're so sorry, unfortunatly the deadline for the none programming community plataform has been delayed yet again 😂

Stackexchange...?

Majorly because we don't partake in real life communities

huehuehue

I think this rant might have the record for most upvotes on Devrant by now

@kanduvisla and the best thing is upvotes isn't stopping... Its growing by 5-6 each day.... @dfox can u confirm I am the record holder with highest ++s rant?

@playmast3r the top rant has 972 right now. You can look in top sort, filtered by "all."

At the same time I think stack overflow sucks.
But the Brazilian version rocks!

Dont build those commynities for other people. There once a guy who built something like our community for regular people. 6 milllion jews died. They are too emotional and blind. Devs question everything regular people dont.

I guess all you can find are websites powered with a forum platform... Old school !

Thats damn true
We rule

@FluffyFingers Well i must say devrant and stackoverflow are like day and night though... Stackoverflow being a col winter night, harsh but rewarding.

It's already done.. stack exchange??

Marnsghol you make a valid point, stackoverflow can be a bit polarizing at times depending on who you interact with but can be a great place to gain knowledge.

@aDib That would be the epitome of boredom and hell.

@Letmecode it's beautiful... your vote count...

@Letmecode +12345

@kanduvisla RECURSION

@tomexx Stackexchange indeed. Noob spotted.

hahahaha that's true

Wow, this rant is just 5 ++ away from 1k... Lets push it guys...

Wrong. There's facebook, for morons. Hm, built by us, though. Well, for morons by morons.

Earlier today I was trying to Invision applying an app like this to any other demographic? Any ideas anyone? I'm desperate for a startup idea...

@aDib help, my goat doesn’t work.

This rant looks stolen 🤔 unfortunately it has gotten more attention than the possible original

@vnwonah Ur rant never came in my feed. I posted that on my own. I swear I didn't copy...

😂😁😂😁😂😁😂😁😂😁😂😁

Because they are too busy to sit in front of screens 24/7

And we shouldn't!

Haha! It's not even a lie :-D

hahah they are not worthy.

send that good man a beer!

holy effing shit I didn't think about this rotflmao!!! we're EVIIIL!!!

Everyone else has Whatsapp and Facebook groups :p

i think every developer copy and paste the code from there :D

Thank you! I needed this today.

isn't reddit for all communities/topics/professions?

And they just don't need it. Actually.

Visited the biology community at reddit
Science Reveals Yet Another Reason Octopuses and Squid Are So Weird
I can't stop laughing!
Probably because of this there are no discussion sites, but only old forums!

That's a great logic

For all the stereotypes people create about programmers, including social awkwardness and being a bunch of arrogant trolls, as a new developer I have never found a more welcoming and supportive community.

because we have the power xD

Yeah I've got better things to do than create a social media site for equestrians.

We have quite a good community in our office. I thought it was natural, but as I read here, I was not right. Of course, social media is important, but the professional community should stay professional, and social media is more for personal or informal communication. Maybe because we have a strong HR department that use https://www.goodday.work/ software, where all communication and tasks are clear. So as a result, on-the-job conflicts are reduced to a minimum, and people have no objections to communicating with each other. Overall I think this increases productivity.
