Content ?php header ("Content-type: texthtml; charsetutf-8"); This is a warning to any poor soul who may have to deal with this code. I took over this criminal piece of chaos from a monkey named Joel who I assume had been given a typewriter by Mephistopheles himself. For reasons I have yet been unable to fathom, he decided to patch together this thing using a BaseX setup hardwired into an unfixably broken Manjaro VM, queried by a handwritten plate of uncommented PHP spaghetti fit to feed an army of people with a serious death wish, without any framework or CMS. The very long BaseX script, very long PHP presenter and very long XSLT stylesheet mostly perform the same heuristic document structuring for different components and are supposed to produce compatible results, but I bet they have mismatches somewhere. Since Prof. T just wanted a few small functional enhancements, I decided to just patch it and keep the general setup. Unless you were hired to correct some spelling mistakes, DO NOT FOLLOW IN MY STEPS. Putting up with this simulation of how a goldfish would design a system has literally given me CLINICAL DEPRESSION. This is not an exaggeration, I am writing this after a prolonged medical therapy - mostly successful, thanks for asking, but not fun. I wouldn't wish this code on anybody who isn't a manager at Oracle or Facebook, and therefore give you this sincere advice: Nuke this. Take the XSLT if you must, and then nuke the app and recreate it in Django or whatever works for you. I would do it myself, but I risked a relapse simply by opening this file again to write this comment. Dear brother or sister, I wish you all the luck and strength in the world and hope it will be enough.

The circle of software development life in four panels. The dev who fixed the bug gets praised by colleagues, feeling like a hero for about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, the same dev who introduced the bug in the first place stays suspiciously quiet about that part. Classic job security strategy – break things just enough that you become indispensable when you fix them. It's not a bug, it's a career advancement feature.

Chess and programming - two games where you're perpetually outmaneuvered. The single error is right in front of you, practically taunting you with its simplicity. Meanwhile, the 585 errors are lurking just out of sight, waiting to ambush your code when you finally fix that one obvious bug. It's like fixing a leak only to discover your entire plumbing system is actually made of Swiss cheese and wishful thinking.
