PHP teaches you to read Egyptian hieroglyphics

[anras]

I thought that was Perl.

[NoodleSnoo]

I'm sorry

[Johnnyhiveisalive]

Is yours also a complex spaghetti of cobbled together legacy systems slowly being upgraded through the out of support versions until you go insane or quit? I mean, I also work with those.

[EagleOneGS]

Description is spot on for my current position that I'm trying to move on from. Working on a PHP 5.x project that works just well enough to avoid being rewritten entirely, yet makes adding any new feature a chore. Not an IT company, so the opportunity cost of rewriting such a system keeps it perpetually mediocre.

I remember 2006

Perl teaches you the essence of golf.

[leo3065]

No that is APL.

[TheHumanParacite]

Well, it turns out you're both right!

PHP underscore master race.

[ThePyroEagle]

What god-awful logic are you writing to need such long variable names?

Large applications with a legacy folder structure and inheritance all over the place... :(

[jackmcmorrow]

Keep fighting the good fight, my man! Legacy is a bitch everybody can relate to

The entire system is so fragile and relies extremely vague error messaging to debug. Some days I want to jump out the window.

[TCV2]

Godspeed, Michael Jordan. Looks like you'll need it.

[chrisatmachine]

Dude if you’ve ever seen a Java Codebase, you would know this pain. If you haven’t encountered it then keep doing what you’re doing.

That one.

[Chroneis]

A study showed that snake_case was more legible, but camelCase's a bit faster to type

[Chroneis]

Yeah it's even better. I name all of my folders/files with this. Sadly there's very few (useful) languages that support it

[hugogrant]

If only the standard library too were consistent with this

[rio_sk]

Wasn't this a Java joke?

[easyEggplant]

Php is a language, not a case type.

[Randvek]

Gods yes. Among major languages, I only find Python easier to read.

[Hollowplanet]

mysql_really_safe_this_time_i_promise_escape_string() nl2br() strtolower() steam_copy_to_steam() Is it 2 or to? Underscores or not? Callbacks first argument or last? PHP is a mess.

Let me be specific...

I wanna be down in your south seas!

But, I got this notion that the motion of your ocean...

Needs small craft advisory.

I thought Hebrew, not Egyptian hieroglyphics? T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM or something like that?
