Good code, bad code. The only truth. [comic]
- edw519 19y agoI guess that depends on who's saying, "WTF". That's often the response of many people to some of the best code I've ever seen.
- axod 19y agoThe person saying WTF should have a weight depending on how many WTF's they get for their own code. Like googles pagerank. eg bad coder gets tons of WTFs, is a bad coder He WTFs at everything because he has no clue, doesn't understand, but his WTF's are weighted low.
- stcredzero 19y agoA problem with this, is that often the WTF go unsaid in public due to political reasons. My boss is the one who exclaims WTF the most in public. However, he generates a heck of a lot of WTF in private. Also, many of the WTF we generate are actually due to our coding around his WTFs. This is just a restatement of the Principle of Least Astonishment http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_least_astonishment http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_least_astonishment

- dawnerd 19y agoWhat I really hate is when people comment the obvious. For example: /** * Add var1 to var 2 **/ $total = $var1 + $var2;
- bayareaguy 19y agoEspecially when the comment is wrong or misleading, as in this example.
- systems 19y agowtf..its writen in Perl .. wtf ..and he didn't use strict; wtf i think he did so so he could autovivify the variable, wtf I don't have a Perl interpreter on this machine stupid machine, wit i guess $total now is equal to zero Perl is f awesome fawesome hehe ... new word to the dict ..wtf..
- dawnerd 19y agoHaha, you got me. Good eye. But in reality it does the same thing, so does it really matter?
- ardit33 19y agoI really hate it when some people that call themselves programmers, still use PHP for serious development.
- rms 19y agoI don't think there is anything wrong with PHP for serious development, as long as you're using it with an MVC paradigm or framework. It is faster than Ruby.
- ardit33 19y agoTrue. I like Cake Php. But I still wouldn't consider php for serious dev. Call me stupid, but I have a prejudice against recent startups that use php. It smacks me that they couldn't find smarter developers that know something else. Im sure, there are great php devs. out there, but from experience, %90 are not. It is the barriers of entry are too low for php to get started, which is not necessary a good thing, as you end up with many so self called "experts" than know nothing.
