PHP Be Like: Explosive String Handling

9 days ago 241.3K views 0 shares

The case-sensitivity hierarchy in programming languages is real! Java uses split() like a regular bear, C# gets fancy with Split() (capital S because it's feeling classy), but PHP... PHP just had to be different with explode() . It's like showing up to a formal dinner party wearing a Hawaiian shirt and flip-flops. The function literally sounds like it's going to destroy your strings rather than separate them. Classic PHP naming conventions - where consistency goes to die and developers get to memorize yet another quirky function name!

If A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words, An Emoji Is Worth A Database Column

When your database administrator is too lazy to type actual column names but has an emoji keyboard shortcut ready to go. This PostgreSQL session is peak chaotic evil energy – creating tables and domains with emojis instead of sensible names. Somewhere, a junior dev is staring at this schema wondering how to write a query joining the 📦 table where 🔴 = 'production_status' without copy-pasting emojis from Slack. Meanwhile, the DBA is probably sipping coffee and thinking "documentation is for the weak." Future maintainers will either quit on the spot or develop a twisted admiration for this absolute madlad who decided conventional naming conventions were just too mainstream.

When Developers Get Naming Rights

Ah, the inevitable collision of serious software development and internet naming conventions. Someone actually suggested naming Git LFS (Large File Storage) as "Filey McFileface" in an official GitHub issue, and it got 170 upvotes! This is peak developer culture—naming critical infrastructure after the infamous "Boaty McBoatface" incident where the internet was asked to name a research vessel. Engineers can't resist an opportunity to inject absurdity into otherwise serious technical discussions. The real miracle is that Git LFS wasn't actually named this. Somewhere, a product manager is still having nightmares about it.

The Cryptic Comment Conundrum

The infamous "CAT" comment strikes again! Nothing quite says "I spent 3 hours debugging this function" like a random variable named "cat" with zero explanation. Is it a Counter Accumulation Total? Concatenated Array Tracker? Or just the developer's feline friend walking across the keyboard at a crucial moment? The world may never know, but that single word will haunt the next developer for eternity. The best part? The author probably thought it was perfectly self-explanatory.

The Worst Possible Way Of Declaring Main Method

When your code reviewer spots that unholy abomination of a main method declaration in your pull request. That if (name__ == "__main__"): check is standard Python boilerplate, but seeing it written with those underscores and that formatting is like witnessing someone eat cereal with a fork. It's technically functional, but fundamentally wrong on every level. The kind of code that makes senior developers wake up in cold sweats at 3 AM.

The UUID Inception Function

Ah, the elegant art of naming variables. This function has achieved peak redundancy with a UUID parameter named uuid of type UUID that returns a UUID containing a UUID with the value uuid. It's like saying "I'd like to order an order of ordered orders, please." The compiler is probably in therapy now.

The holy war of naming conventions rages on! Some brave soul dared to preach the gospel of snake_case in a world dominated by camelCase zealots. Just like in biblical times, speaking the truth about proper variable naming gets you crucified in code reviews. The underscores shall inherit the codebase! Meanwhile, the PascalCase disciples and kebab-case heretics watch from the sidelines as the great naming schism continues to divide developer communities since the dawn of programming.

The holy war that never ends. One dev asks if you use camelCase or PascalCase, and the other responds with the only sane answer: following your team's coding conventions. The first guy is basically that colleague who will die on the hill of their personal style preferences while the rest of us just want the codebase to be consistent so we can go home at a reasonable hour.

Master Vs Main: We Are Not The Same

Different motivations, same git commit. When GitHub changed default branch names from "master" to "main" in 2020, people had opinions . Some argued historical connotations, others just wanted technical consistency. Meanwhile, this developer's over here with the galaxy brain take that branch hierarchy is a social construct. Every branch deserves equal rights to be merged, cherry-picked, or abandoned in development limbo.

Query Inception: When Your Query Is So Query It Queries Itself

Ah, the classic SQL query written by someone who clearly learned database access from a fortune cookie. The SQL is backwards—it should be "SELECT * FROM Customers" but they've written "FROM Customers SELECT *". The real chef's kiss is that this is wrapped in a method called "GetCustomersQuery" inside a class called "Query" which is also creating an object called "query" of type "Query.Query". It's like naming your dog "Dog" and then calling your dog's puppy "Dog.Dog" and then teaching it a trick called "GetDogTrick()". Four years of computer science for this masterpiece. 💀

The devil's promise vs. F# reality. Sure, your kid will use "meaningful variable names"—right up until they discover functional programming. Then it's single-letter variables and ASCII art demons summoned directly into your codebase. Nothing says "senior developer" like code that requires an exorcist to debug. That ASCII devil is just the compiler's way of saying "I understand this perfectly, but good luck to the next poor soul who inherits this repo."

OH MY GODDD! Microsoft's obsession with verbosity is the GREATEST TRAGEDY of our time! 😱 Why use simple, elegant commands like 'wget' when you can TORTURE your fingers typing 'Invoke-WebRequest'?! PowerShell developers sitting in their evil lair like "MUAHAHA, let's make them type SEVENTEEN EXTRA CHARACTERS!" The dark side Kermit perfectly represents that Microsoft executive who wakes up every morning and chooses VIOLENCE against our wrists and sanity. Brevity? Never heard of her!
