On: Star Wars Traceroute - How I did it

[Evbn]

I love the Rasmusesque PHP zen. "Hi. I am dumb. I don't write good programs, I write programs that work."

Reminds me of Colombo.

Rasmusesque?

[bencoder → xd]

From the originator of PHP: http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Rasmus_Lerdorf

[sigzero → xd]

Rasmus is the creator of PHP. But yeah, Rasmusesque?

[whalesalad → sigzero]

Rasmus always claimed that he wasn't concerned with beautiful programming that followed a common design pattern or methodology, rather he liked to get things done and so much of PHP is designed in that way.

There is an old proverb for this approach: penny wise, pound foolish.
