Somethings I’m Beginning to Hate

After spending much of the weekend trying to knock out a site redesign for a client, I’ve found myself hating two things I’ve never actually hated before.

I hate CSS. Yes, I hate how it’s so easy to do everything and lay pages out except that it’s so damn complicated. I hate child selectors and star html hacks. I hate browser incompatibilities and don’t get me started on the min-height attribute. Pffft.

I hate Object Oriented PHP. Yes, indeed. Whoever these so-called developers in the Zend world who thought it would be nice and convenient to drag developers along kicking and screaming into the “utopia” that is PHP5…. yes, they ought to be taken out into a field and shot. One by one. Objects? Just give me arrays and procedural code, thankyouverymuch! I wish to no longer see $obj->function()…. You want a arrow-thingamajig… I’ll give you an arrow. Here’s your arrow! <expletive>

    Thank you for expressing what I’ve thought about OO PHP for the longest time. I use objects in PHP for business logic, but that’s about it. Most of the stuff that’s actually used on-page is as procedural as ever.

    PS: From your first rant it seems that you hate browsers, not CSS. I can agree with you there; if it weren’t for those pesky browsers CSS would be braindead easy.
