Surprisingly, I don't think I've ever drawn the ire of Stack Overflow, despite its reputation. I don't know my most downvoted answer, but the lowest score I have on an answer is -1, and it's just because the answer was bad.
That said, drawing the ire of people on Hacker News is extremely easy, and I do that periodically.

- eYrKEC2 2y agoHere's the recipe. 1. come in on Monday and need to solve some stupid problem with a stupid regex 2. Ask a question about negative lookbehind or negative lookahead regex syntax in python and why it doesn't match the text you thought it should, because.... it's Monday. 3. Have people virtually spit-take all over you and heap their scorn for a n-millionth duplicate regex question. Enjoy!

- JimDabell 2y ago> Surprisingly, I don't think I've ever drawn the ire of Stack Overflow, despite its reputation. It’s because that reputation is flat out wrong. If you went onto Stack Overflow and went around insulting people, you’d get downvoted quickly until you didn’t have enough karma to post.
- jamesfinlayson 2y agoI think most of my answers have been left alone, but I've had a few valid questions that have been dumped on because... I don't know? I guess people skimmed my question and assumed it was something was easy to search, therefore I'm a moron.
