Stackoverflow.

I found the greatest stackoverflow comment:

Please consider my questions StackOverflow 😭

When StackOverflow is the only one, who believes in you

when you get downvoted on Stackoverflow...

When you want to contribute but Stackoverflow says "fuck no".

Only on stackoverflow...

StackOverflow code.

Just had a JS guy try some Visual Basic, learning about types.. finally he got the error:

Stackoverflow: (...)

His response:

"Oh! Like the website! That's so cool! Hey Brod, look what I did! 😀"

It was the cutest reaction I've ever seen to a error.

* get stuck on a problem
* being depressed
* post a question on stackoverflow
* the question get downvoted
* now I am sad and depressed

You know you are a senior developer when you go to stackoverflow with only goal to answer questions.

...stackoverflow is offline...

How to decrease productivity of half of the globe in just 3 words:
Stackoverflow is offline

you ok… stackoverflow?

Just went clubbing in a stackoverflow tshirt 😂😂😂😂😂

Lets all stop and take a moment to thank Stackoverflow for our jobs...

StackOverFlow everybody

Ok devRant this should scare stackoverflow

And I thought Stackoverflow was my Friend.

Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak

stackOverFlow should also be praised because of their pickyness!

when you write few line of codes without using stackoverflow

I really love it when people just downvote your question on stackoverflow without any explanation, it helps a lot to fix my problem thx 👌

Latest from my team,
One of the Dev copied code from a stackoverflow question.

Got same exception as highlighted in the question and started complaining that his code does not work.

Seriously without Stackoverflow I would be unemployed.

*Asks Question on StackOverflow
*Question get downvoted -2
*Replies to my own question with a solution that I found, and it worked
*Reply get downvoted -4

Cries on corner...

StackOverflow is offline. Going home...

Thanks stackoverflow...

When you copy a big answer from StackOverflow and it works perfectly, but then you feel bad for a split second that you just copied the whole thing and didn't do anything creative :(

Let's take a moment and be grateful for the Stackoverflow community and the help we received throughout the years.

2 devs in the office:
- Man, Stackoverflow is down. :/
- Time to take a day off ...

Just another day at stackoverflow

You know you have a REAL problem, when you have to actually POST a question you couldn't already find on Stackoverflow!

I downloaded the entire stackoverflow DB for offline use. And it's almost 94GB

🙌 hands up if you figured out your problem while typing up your question on stackoverflow. 🙌

Wow. Nice 😍👌. First question on stackoverflow. 4 down votes 😎. WTF why?

Stackoverflow it is!

I don't remember Stackoverflow being wrong?... XD

stackoverflow ❤️

rant;

WHY DO PEOPLE DELETE STACKOVERFLOW QUESTIONS WHERE I AWNSERED THEM IN DETAIL WHAT TO DO AND WHY IT BEHAVES IN THE WAY IT DOES. THIS SHIT JUST WASTED MY TIME AND DOES NOT BENEFIT ANY USER WITH A SIMILAR ISSUE. THESE FUCKERS NEED TO GET THEIR EGOMANIAC SHIT TOGETHER IT IS NOT ALL ABOUT THEM AND STACKOVERFLOW IS NOT A FUCKING FREE OUTSOURCING COMPANY.

tl;dr don't awnser people on stackoverflow if they don't mark their past questions as awnered. It is a waste of time.

Wish me luck! Just posted a question on StackOverflow...
Ready to get downvoted all the way down to the earth’s crust.

The first few seconds after you clicked post on your stackoverflow question...

Stackoverflow 101:
- spent 6 hours to Search if my problem is already asked and/or answered
- spent another 4 hours to Google the question and make sure there is no article about it,
- Still got banned.

Imagine a life without StackOverflow 😂

someone filtered stackoverflow in the office.
can't access it now.
:(

full-stackoverflow developer things

When you get appreciation for the code that you took from Stackoverflow be like... 😂😂

Stackoverflow mods be like

I swear that some people in StackOverflow are there just to downvote others...

Asking a question on StackOverflow...

Just found a stackoverflow thread that had no answer and 2 comments. Here are the comments:

Person 1: Did you find a solution for this?
Author: Yes, please email me [...@gmail.com].

Bruh, what's wrong with some people???? Writing nothing at all would be better then that

Really?! Now even StackOverflow is going to be nice and welcoming to users?!

Half of our fucking rants are about StackOverflow and it's asshole moderators. 😑

How they created stackoverflow without stackoverflow? 🤔

A typical Stackoverflow question

There is always someone who posted your problem already on stackoverflow. Find him.

when I was a kid, I got banned from stackoverflow because my question was not good enough, and from 2 low quality questions they never allowed me to post there ever again.

They're really unforgiving. Which is why I try to help n00bs on stackoverflow get that initial rep

Those rare times when stackoverflow doesn't have the solution to your problems and when you finally do come up with a solution on your own, you feel like a goddamn king

StackOverflow taught me computing. They should offer degrees!

I am so disappointed from StackOverflow... No DevRant OPTION!!!

programming should be called "making searches in StackOverflow"

It's got to the point where I'm putting more stock in my DevRant score than my StackOverflow score

Waiting for a answer or comment on my stackoverflow question for more than 10 minutes...

...never felt that much rejection by mankind before

You know you're a JavaScript dev when you spend most of your time in GitHub issues instead of StackOverflow

April Fool's prank on StackOverflow

My first android app is launching tomorrow. Thanks Stackoverflow, me and you are bro's now.

seems like Github issues is the new StackOverflow!?

StackOverflow is 10 years old

The StackOverflow developer insights says they have over 50% web developers. They missed the <title> tag.

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.

StackOverflow community vs devRant community.

Enough stackoverflow for today!

Ones' Stackoverflow question is another mens treasure

I just got this eMail: 10 years StackOverflow. How did the developers survived before this? 😱

My form of rubber ducking is starting to post a question on StackOverflow and realizing in the middle of typing the reason for the bug I've struggled with all day.

Happiness is when you see a green notification aka repo on stackoverflow (^_^)

When you have to edit your StackOverflow question, because you left swearing in the code sample

[stackOverFlow]
When somebody has already posted a question in the form of a long story, and you just scroll down with good feel but the question is still unsolved for 2 years.

I have one stackoverflow account for asking stupid questions and another one for answering stupid questions.

Am I the only one afraid to post questions on stackoverflow? 😩🤔🙃

When you know what you need, but don't know how to do it and can't get your thoughts into words well enough to ask on stackoverflow.

I see many people being irritated when it comes to StackOverflow and If I were to be honest I thought the same a while ago. But I noticed that I was misjudging the main point of Stackoverflow. It's not a forum to help people with their programming problems. It's a huge self writing document to gather every programming related questions and answers under a single platform if possible. That's why they won't down vote you even if you ask a question that was obvious in a language's official document as long as it wasn't in Stackoverflow. That's why questions should also be formatted accordingly which is clear and also informative in itself. I understand why stackoverflow is such a harsh place to ask questions and most of the time I prefer looking things for my self instead of asking a question. And I edit and review most questions on stackoverflow because I enjoy it. That also made me realize that stackoverflow needs to be elitist to preserve it's current quality. Who would want to see unclear duplicate questions that veteran stackoverflow users need to answer over and over again right ?

Asking the right question is hard because we humans most of the time don't know what we don't know. And it makes it really tiring to format your question the way that is fitting for a document. In those times I prefer to ask my questions on a more relaxed and chat focused platform before writing my main question on stackoverflow.

So that was my opinion on stackoverflow and it's harsh environment. It's definetly a hard to get into community which I can't even say I'm really a part of it. But looking at stackoverflow as a document that's being written by ut's users, it's easier to understand it's elitist approach. I hope you had some enjoyment from reading it.

i'm a full-stackoverflow developer 🌚

The moment when you have to answer your own question on stackoverflow :/

It only took a whole minute for my stackoverflow question to be furiously downvoted... What is it with people on this site? Didn't they get enough hugs as kids?

So people here are complaining about StackOverflow being rude and unfriendly to noobs.

Post a link to your question and people here will judge whether it's a good question/answer.

We will see whether it's the network or your questions being just bad.

That's StackOverflow for you.

Haven't yet been able to formulate a question that StackOverflow didn't downvote to oblivion.

I tried to follow all the rules. No chance.

If every developer looks stuff up on stackoverflow, how do stackoverflows first developer create it?

I wonder if I can code at all and get things done one time without stackoverflow.

That awesome feeling when you solve the problem while trying to explain it on stackoverflow.

3 hours of Google Search and finally on stackoverflow someone answers your question with a solution that works.

!rant
Just in case someone is curious how StackOverflow moderation looks like.

Stackoverflow community appreciation rant ❤️

Well I didn't except that to start on one of my stackoverflow post x)

Copy-pasting code from StackOverflow and hoping that it works straight away

Nightmare came true..
Stackoverflow down..
I am not able to access it...
Checking if it's really down or VPN issues..
Update: VPN is not an issue. It's down.

Do people on Stackoverflow get paid to downvote every single thing? Like WTF Stackoverflow is the most unwelcoming and toxic community I've ever seen.

When you spend an hour writing a comprehensive StackOverflow answer, with examples and sources, and someone with a 20K rep beats you to it by minutes!

Just realized what was wrong when I was about to post on stackoverflow. I guess just writing it down helps sometimes...

Probably the most useful answer in stackoverflow (atleast for me)

When you find a question on stackoverflow and you know the exact answer.
But you're not in the mood to explain and put details.

next

Spended 30 minutes try to answer a question on stackoverflow, the question deleted just before I posting the answer

stackoverflow 2019...

StackOverflow is ruthless! You only have to breathe and you'll get downvoted!

yeah I actually forgot to thank stackover flow from what I am now. Thank you Stackoverflow

credits on the owner of the photo.

Stackoverflow is down! Well shit might aswell all go home 😉😅

April fools @stackoverflow

Being under 1000 rep on stackoverflow is elo hell. All you get are downvotes for non-duplicate, sensible and well explained questions. I think most of SO community is pretty fucking toxic towards people trying to learn programming.

From a gitlab blog post:

"You wouldn't copy and paste an answer from StackOverflow, without understanding it, (...)"

No.. never....... 🙄

Confirmed: Atom/GitHub doesn't like Stackoverflow!

me: having an important question requiring urgent answer
some grammar nazi StackOverflow:

When answer has 180 points on stackoverflow and it isn't even an accurate solution for the posted problem.

OMG !!
I downvoted a question on stackoverflow !
I feel the evil in my blood now

That awkward moment when your reputation on DevRant is better than your reputation on StackOverflow... I've failed the community :(

Helping out on stackoverflow and getting the best answer is SO REWARDING!

I post an answer to StackOverflow for the first time in a few months. INSTANT DOWNVOTE + "CORRECT BUT NOT `LOGICAL ENOUGH`"

FUCK YOU

thx for coming to my TedTalk

When StackOverflow fails you.

When StackOverflow is life

When I want to answer questions on stackoverflow -
1] The ones I know are already answered
2] I have no clue about the ones that have 0 answers.

* Searches google for some code and wants the results on stackoverflow *
* doesn't want to use stackoverflow search *

The 'Hot network questions' section on stackoverflow.

Seems like StackOverflow knew, that I was looking for a break!

Have you ever wanted to get downvoted? Are you tired of getting upvoted in devrant? Stackoverflow to the rescue!

Why is it so hard to build reputation on stackoverflow?? Can't upvote, can't comment til I get 50 reputation, can't ask for question clarification so I can answer a question except in a comment...

weather is beautiful, sun is shining, I am feeling mischevious. Shall I block stackoverflow on our proxy on Monday?

Sometimes asking a question on Stackoverflow is a complete waste of time.

New achievement unlocked..
Feels great when my Stackoverflow profile mentions..
"Top 7% this month"

Copy-Pasting code from the StackOverflow into production code is like chewing gum found on the street. 🙄

Be quick enough to answer on stackoverflow?... I already gave up a long time ago...

well there's an interesting error😂😂😂😂😂
Stackoverflow clears our error and then I get a Stackoverflow error
java😂

StackOverflow, I use it so much it's practically a tool at this point.

damn finally 😂😂

The hero of stackoverflow is here 📢

Wish everyone on stackoverflow followed this etiquette:
1. Don't be lazy, before you post try and solve the issue yourself and check that your post isn't a duplicate.
2.Make sure that you post is coherent and specific.
3. If someone helps you acknowledge it.

the number of ++ in devrant and the -- in stackoverflow I get , are random variables with equal distribution.

Intern : "Stackoverflow is the most friendly platform to learn coding. They provide a good certification for programming skill."

Me : " Stop this bullshit before I present you a smack-overflow across your face."

Since when Stackoverflow described as freecodecamp?

Fuck StackOverflow community.

Trying to answer a React mapping problem on stackoverflow.
It's a relatively simple problem.
While I'm typing... all sorts of wrong answers keep popping out.

Oh geez.
People are hungry for reputation

In the end, I removed my solution, and leave the answer in the comment. This is not my fight 🤦‍♂️

Stackoverflow status quo:

A question was upvoted 122 times --> Closed as too broad.

The "Hot Network Questions" in the right side of every StackOverflow page.

Physics, Electronics, World building, Programming puzzles and code golf, Aviation, Skeptics...

Programming commandment: Thou shall not commit code snippet copied from StackOverflow without adding a comment to help future coder brethren!

Yesterday I learned there was a chat feature in StackOverflow. I learned this because I finally for once in my life have StackOverflow reputation.

Discussing my excitement:
“Guess what topic it was.”
“Was it regex?”
“It WAS regex!”

I wonder if stackoverflow downvoters are here on devrant and can explain all this hate on each and every junior question

The people on Youtube... Rarely seen this much appreciation on Stackoverflow. I dont remember posting that solution but it was definently worth it :)

StackOverflow.
The solution to almost all your coding problems.
The solution to all my "coding" ego. 😂

Here is my 10 year challenge 😂🤣

2009: Stackoverflow
2019: Stackoverflow

StackOverflow finally gets 'Dark Theme', I hope its not an April Fools joke.

Just found out, as of Nov 16, I've been on StackOverflow for 10 years.

I wish it was remotely as good as the old days.

I answered my first question on Stackoverflow!
I feel like a true dev now 😁

I hate StackOverflow. I answered 3 question in this week and the fuckers don't even read it. AT LEAST MARK THE FUCKING QUESTION ANSWERED IF YOU ASKED IT.

Discover that stackoverflow has documentation. Now they will start to yell "Check the fucking docs!!!"

Ahhhh shit. Stackoverflow is down.

colleague : Hey I resolved yesterday's error.
me : really? how?
colleague : found it on stackoverflow.
me : Oh. From the question or the answer?

burrrrn!!!

That's a question I found today at stackoverflow, though it was deleted when I tried to read and the user was deleted as well.
What do you people think?

I think the person who wrote this is one of those people who think that stackoverflow is a place to find someone else to do your homework...

!rant

StackOverflow now has a devDuck!

That moment when your StackOverflow reputation is higher than your devRant's points 😵😵

Duplicate question
Too opinion based
Fuck you this is a dumb question

But if you actual got a question and give all the information that's needed nobody fucking responds
Yeah well fuck you StackOverflow
It's like they only want to bash people and not actually help

That feel when you find the answer for your problem on a lost comment in a StackOverflow question

I wonder why StackOverFlow has decided not to use Https.

I wonder if anyone used deep learning on stackoverflow questions. 🤔

Life and programming seem equivalent to me : a crazy run toward building out something from nothing, coping with unexpected bugs and senseless environments. The main difference, though, is that there is no stackoverflow for life

Finally! Stackoverflow DarkMode is here!

I guess there is a reason (even a necessity) for StackOverflow to be toxic.

Everything wrong with PHP, Wordpress, MySQL and Stackoverflow in a single screenshot.

- So what did you do this summer ?
- I just get back from a humanitarian mission to help hungry childs and you ?
- What a coincidence! I went all summer in StackOverflow to help other people!

Stackoverflow

Don't you just love it when you're typing up a question for Stackoverflow and in the process of forming a good question, you solve the problem! Jon Skeet would be proud of me I think

!rant
Was not aware that Sir Brian Goetz was on Stackoverflow!!

You know the truth will upset people.

I mean I'm trying to answer React, Typescript, mobX, Node.js related questions on stackoverflow, 1Q/day.

I'm pretty sure some users only browse StackOverflow looking for questions to flag as "Not Constructive" or "Opinion Based". Some of the best programming discussions I've read have been in the answers and comments to closed questions, so get over it, happiness haters! Sometimes I want to hear people's opinions.

Just asked a question on another stackexchange site. Funny how almost all questions and answers are being upvoted. Thats something that you are not used to experience on stackoverflow :P

So you look for tags starting with `error` on stackoverflow ...

Feels good when you find a solution to a bug in 10 minutes because of stackoverflow.

I never knew stackoverflow would be my new best friend, obviously after Google. 😅

It seems funny to work at stackoverflow #stackcode

After 5 years as a developer, I am 100% sure the users of Stackoverflow are the real Good Guy Greg

Stackoverflow has dark mode! Oh my yes!

I think this most accurately describes how I'm contributing to stackoverflow :/

It's absolutely weird that you read a question on stackoverflow and the poster is dead

Stackoverflow is down... hello weekend!

I think something's wrong with me... I just went on StackOverflow and answered questions for roughly 4 hours and it was a blast

i made it! i have enough internet points to downvote on stackoverflow!

Finally found the place where other deva can relate to the horror/fear of posting a question on StackOverflow

Stackoverflow is our Temple

Am I the only one who creates a new account on stackoverflow everytime I get limitations for asking questions

Am I the only douchebag that has a separate StackOverflow account for stupid questions that I know are going to be voted down?

my company's internet is so unstable today i havent been able to look up something on stackoverflow. how will i do my job without getting solution from stackoverflow?

That scary moment when stackoverflow doesn't load up quickly.
Am I blocked

People at stackoverflow can't even stackoverflow their problem.

What are your guys thoughts on Stackoverflow? I feel like no matter what I say on there, whether it be a question, comment, answer, it’s never good enough for someone. Everyone there just seems so rude for no reason. Do you guys have the same experiences? Just curious if it’s only me or it is like this for everyone.

-- When do you realize that you are not practicing a technology enough?

- When the related questions on stackoverflow start sound weird and more difficult

Part 2 Of the StackOverFlow rant.

He still didn't accept my answer and commented something that even I don't know what the fuck he wants. Maybe you can fix your fucking grammar and it'd be easier to understand and solve your issue. 1 Hour later guess what he gets downvoted to -5, Gets his question Closed for Off-Topic and I end up being downvoted too. WTF. I answered his questions and instead, I'm getting downvoted because I answered on an "Off-Topic" Question. I seriously give up on Helping other people because no matter ho hard i try it ends up being a waste of time and you get nothing in return... Fuck the StackOverflow Community.

Answering stuff on stackoverflow hoping to help someone who feels like you did that one time until that stackoverflow person helped you out...

I saw a lot of rants about StackOverflow and its community.
I really couldn't understand, I always found friendly comments and answers, so it was hard for me to imagine why the community was tagged as "sadist assholes".

Then I found this gem and all was suddenly clear.

Python async is a total, unapologetic shitshow. It’s as if the design goal was explicitly to invalidate the maximum number of thoughtful stackoverflow QAs possible. Pro tip: make you sure to memorize the release dates of every minor version of python from 3.5-3.10, so that you know which stackoverflow answers are not relevant in any way to your codebase.

developer -> stackoverflow

Shouldn't there be a place like roast me but for code?

- StackOverflow

If your problem has not yet been answered on StackOverflow, your probably doing something horribly wrong.
Consider a new approach.
