I hate it when people dislike things because it’s cool.

“PHP is terrible,” they say.

Yeah! If it was any good then most websites on the Internet would be coded in it... oh wait.

“Nickelback suck,” they say.

Of course. That’s why they’ve never been able to make any money off their “terrible” music. Oops. Wrong again.

What other things are “cool” to hate just because people say so?

It's surprising how fast current project code becomes ancient archaic code….

Qualifications and experience require to start a WordPress consultancy/brand agency:
• Be a marketing/people person.
• No technical requirements required.

Hate seeing others get clients and delivering half-assed solutions and deploying outdated and even insecure versions of everything.

Made this for work after encountering 500+ line functions in the legacy code.

Coding PHP that prints JS that prints HTML and hating myself and everyone who sets “requirements”.

“Right-click not allowed!” Yeah, right!

When “unexpected end of document” feels really unexpected. 🤔

Locating undocumented API endpoints be like …

WordPress core itself isn’t the problem. It’s the horribly substandard plugins the client insist on that introduces all the problems.

$a = 1;
$b = 2;
echo ($a < $b) ? ($a > $b) ? 'This is totally fine' : ($a < $b) ? 'This is not ok!' : 'Perfect' : 'No problem here';

Why do people do this?!

(And I mean nested ternary ifs, not coding in PHP :P)

Don’t you hate it when you realize that although your latest websites loads fine from your laptop; it takes more than a full second to load it from some location on the other side of the planet?

As a web developer who focuses on accessibility, why is it so goddamn hard to get buy-in for accessible design?!

If you design to be the most accessible possible regular users benefit from an experience that works, for as many people as possible, in more situations than most test for normally!

Setup a VPS from Linode today (they hair started offering 2 GB for 10 USD), and was really pissed when I discovered that their “cloud enhanced” kernel had disabled SELinux and generally removed all sorts of useful features and security features from the default CentOS kernel.

Implementing a third-party link shortner:

link.performance=-400ms; link.privacyFactor=-10;
link.ownership=externalProvider;

Keep hyperlinks in-house. Keep ’em fast. Fight the good fight.

Is WordPress' use of God objects really such a big problem? I mean, sure wp_query is used for every possible purpose and is the most mutated piece of horror every. But what is the harm?

Setting Cache-Control headers that are aware of future changes on a given page is freakishly complex. Too bad the Expires header doesn't overrule Cache-Control.
