@fuck2code I think you feel FOR him. Actually feeling him is something very different 😜

You finished writing and entire app before realising the performance wasn’t up to scratch?

It’s not “your” inbox.

@devTea I like to do as much as possible with SQL too. I’ve noticed with Laravel people tend to delete related records in their code by using model events or something similar. I much prefer to have this logic happen in the database using cascades. Obviously neither is the “correct” approach, but it seems to make sense that the database schema should be in charge of your data integrity.

@DeveloperACE using Xamarin to share your business logic might be fine, but I’ve used Xamarin forms and it’s really buggy and not worth the effort.

I’ve used Xamarin. It was not a pleasant experience 😔

@Navigatr it’s from the HBO show Silicon Valley.

@DLMousey is indeed correct. He took all the best bits from the .NET world and brought them to PHP.

I’m in the same boat. C# at work, PHP at home.

I’ve used used Xamarin forms, but it was really buggy. I’m tempted to try react native but you can’t beat going native.

That’s my problem with LinkedIn. The recruiters are annoying but unfortunately one day you’ll need them!

@SSDD high five! ✋

@mlask I know this site is called devRant but damn that guy above is hostile. We’re defending the underdog here. We’re not trying to act “superior”.

@inaba it tells you EXACTLY what’s wrong. It’s not expecting an if statement to appear where it did.

It can’t tell you you’re missing a semi colon because there are plenty of other symbols that are valid after your statement.

In fact I’m not sure I’ve ever seen an error message that says “missing semi colon on line x” for any language.

@Root that’s very true and I think my examples weren’t the best to illustrate my point. I was just trying to write the rant a little more interestingly :-)

The point I was trying to get across is that because PHP isn’t perfect experienced developers have pointed out the bad parts and rookies who want to sound cool turn this into “lol php sux”.

@inaba what’s wrong with that error? You miss off a semi colon and so it doesn’t expect the if. The error message explains exactly what’s wrong.

@irene I know right? Why would someone code in a language that most websites on the internet are coded in?! Madness!

@inaba I have to disagree! It’s just not very readable. There’s no point in making code look cryptic for the sake of saving a few keystrokes.
