Sometimes you just gotta take a step back and laugh.

And it's still the accepted answer...

Kind of have the same situation. Found a question about two years agofrom 2012, it wasn't answered propperly, so decided to write a propper answer. It got me a few points and every now and then I get a notification about another ten points... Still waiting to get promoted to the accepted answer by that fucking tool of a OP

@Wack I did something similar discussing date manipulation in PHP, went through raw code without packages and then said it's not worth reinventing the wheel so use Carbon. I list points as the community were so quick to slam me down for recommending a package. I have stopped using it, as a Senior Dev I accept the importance of raw code over packages but also accept that packages are often better tested and save time.
