"Escalate? Oh how I wish I had someone to escalate to." Classic.

  I like his humility. Many people in these situations would be like: "Do you know who I am?"
  • jrockway 17y ago
    "Do you know who I am?" is probably a better answer. The "humble" answer is just an amusing in-joke at the expense of the poster. ("Haha, look at that dumb n00b who doesn't know who Rasmus is!" There is even a comment below that pretty much says this exactly.) "I'm the creator of PHP. I am not going to fix this," would have ended the discussion much sooner and with less hurt feelings.

  Does this guy realize he's asking the founder of PHP (rasmus@php.net) to "escalate this to someone who can answer". lol

    Clearly, he doesn't, until the last comment.

  You know what's more depressing? This clueless guy is one of the (wild guess) 5% of PHP users who can file a bug report and follow it...

    I would guess even lower. I'm not sure why that depresses you though. In my mind, that's actually a sign of success for the language.

      I wouldn't guess. why guess? why not just not quote a number at all since you have no idea?

  I'm going to miss Rasmus at Yahoo!. I've spent a fair amount of time with him on the road giving lectures to college students and at conferences. This is one of the reasons he's such a great leader. He's got a sense of humour, but he still explains it to you no matter what. Good guy.

  he sure does wish that : "I'm not a real programmer. I throw together things until it works then I move on. " http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Rasmus_Lerdorf http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Rasmus_Lerdorf
