Rock and stone, my friend ⛏

Highly recommend bookmarking https://ohshitgit.com, it’ll steer you right 👍

For future reference if you tag the Lemmy community in a reply instead of the top-level toot it won’t do this 😄

And from lemmy.world 👋

Same! I had to pick up C# instead and not particularly happy about it. But PHP my sweet, I’ll always love you for personal projects.

I said what I said!

Having worked with all kinds of languages, I stand by my belief that PHP is the most fun.

Yeah maybe it lets you do some things it probably shouldn’t. Yeah maybe the naming conventions are wild. But it also encourages creativity and experimentation in a way that stricter languages just don’t.

Yes I am willing to die on this hill.

The UK version definitely makes a lot more sense.

Of course, I am British so that checks out.

Stage 2: necro a two year old post as a form of procrastination

As a hobbyist game dev, can confirm I am basically just splashing around cluelessly making a mess.

I still code with PHP.

Come at me.

In this utopian vision, I hope only that we leave Schefter behind.

Maybe pick an existing one and help it get off the ground:

• !lifeprotips@lemmy.world (direct link) this one seems like it’s newly set up by a community squatter, but you might have luck approaching them
• !lifeprotips@lemmy.ml (direct link) - this one is older but was inactive for a long time before the recent migration so idk if the mod is active

This is also how I feel watching discussions of how to contribute to Lemmy and what needs doing, when I previously thought I was a halfway competent web dev.
