The thing about PHP was that you could build stuff without a single tutorial, just by Frankensteining the ample free sample code. You could just toss that up somewhere and have a functional app, bam But all my spaghetti code goes with me to my grave, where it can't hurt anyonehttps://twitter.com/patrickc/status/1163455999363043328 …
By the time I was finished with my first public PHP project (a sheep-breeding game ofc), I didn't know what like 60% of the code did. There might be some else condition somewhere in there that summons the Dark Lord
I do think there's some sense in which the more popular languages achieve that fresh lemony scent by sweeping a lot of stuff under the rug in a way that's semi-obscured even to the coder. PHP shoves your nose in it and says LOOK AT THIS, LOOK AT WHAT YOU DID
The nutball thing about a lot of beautiful modern codebases is that your initial awe is eventually broken by some instance where you notice something weird, and the experienced guy is like "oh, we can't divide by 6. Nobody knows why. Just use the workaround function named 'div6'"
There are a great number of reasons why you really should be able to divide by 6, so you track down the contents of the workaround & uncover a whole web of nonsense. Should you dig further, you'll eventually wind up on a mountain in Tibet, begging audience with the Ancient One
That's been a side effect of so much easy access to code and libraries. I've come into many a project with thousands of dependencies on things, and it was clear the team had no real understanding of what was going on.
Obviously, better than the 'olden times', but I always try to get the devs I work with to really understand code before it goes into our codebase.
