Catchphrase so ironic I laugh every time I hear it. The language also is written by a programmer, who sucked in PHP's case IMO.

Yes, I am a terrible coder, but I am probably still better than you :) - Rasmus Lerdorf Modern PHP is written and maintained by a team of programmers. It hasn't been the language Rasmus wrote (badly, as a hack he never intended anyone else to use) for years.
- ajsalminen 10y agoI wonder about the origin and context of all these quotes. This one was apparently tweeted by him and the full version is: "For all the folks getting excited about my quotes. Here is another - Yes, I am a terrible coder, but I am probably still better than you :)" That is, unless there is actually a prior instance of him saying it but there could well not be.
- krapp 10y agoHe's right, though. Most people who rant about how terrible PHP is and how incompetent a programmer Rasmus is couldn't come up with anything better themselves.
