The Six Stages Of Debugging Grief

Ah, the classic Java hater's paradox. First panel: "Java error messages are too long to understand anything!" with a stack trace that would make War and Peace look like a tweet. Second panel: The same person happily embracing C's cryptic "Segmentation fault" - which is basically the programming equivalent of your car making a weird noise and then exploding without explanation. Sure, Java might write you a novel about what went wrong, complete with character development and plot twists, but at least it's trying to help. Meanwhile, C is over there like "something broke somewhere, good luck finding it, sucker!" The cognitive dissonance is chef's kiss perfect. It's like complaining your doctor gives too much information while preferring the mechanic who just shrugs and says "car bad."

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 PH 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.
