I Hate Programming but PHP Works

I have absolutely no idea how to write a programming language, I don't know how to stop it, there was never any intent to write a programming language [...] I have absolutely no idea how to write a programming language, I just kept adding the next logical step on the way. Ugly problems often require ugly solutions. Solving an ugly problem in a pure manner is bloody hard. bloody hard I don't know how to stop it There are people who actually like programming. I don't understand why they like programming. Yes, I am a terrible coder, but I am probably still better than you :) but I am probably still better than you :) :) I still am really bad at writing parsers. Back when PHP had less than 100 functions and the function hashing mechanism was strlen() We have things like protected properties. We have abstract methods. We have all this stuff that your computer science teacher told you you shouldn't be using. I don't care about this crap at all. Rasmus Lerdorf @rasmus Breaking the Web Creator of PHP I don't care about this crap at all. this crap I'm not a real programmer. I throw together things until it works then I move on. The real programmers will say "Yeah it works but you're leaking memory everywhere. Perhaps we should fix that!" I'll just restart Apache every 10 requests. I throw together things until it works I'm not a real programmer I actually hate programming the function hashing mechanism was strlen() strlen()

Коллаж с цитатами Расмуса Лердорфа, создателя PHP, и шутками о небрежном программировании. Автор признаёт, что ненавидит программирование, пишет код методом проб и ошибок и решает проблемы грубыми обходными путями. Мем используют как реакцию на хаотичный, но работающий код и на стереотипы о PHP.
