“fix previous commit”

Oh, that’s the next excuse i’ll use when a recruiter asks for my github page. “i’m protecting my product”.

America is a weird place, Europe is more balanced in general. Back in 2000 we had more of a 60%-40% split in computer science.

Yep, any non empty string is truthy.

Most of the hate for php was born back in version 3 or 4, when it was a mess. Also a lot of people who where in college in those years learned php as a first language.

Combine a language that does not enforce good coding practices and a lot of people making their first website, and you get some pretty horrible codebases.

As part of my job is to maintain legacy php websites, I’ve seen lovercraftian nightmares. I love modern php, but I get where all this hate is coming from.

Well… this is a few orders of magnitude smaller than any big tech social network, and will probably be that way for a long time if not forever. But still, a smaller, more caring community is better than a gigantic crowd of strangers, isn’t it?
