People like you, not meant personally, are the reason I abandoned PHP. Too much dogma. Too much nonsensical paradigms without considering pragma.

Who gives a shit about SOLID or OO.

I used to love PHP for its simplicity. That was before zealots of your type flooded the ecosystem.

You wanted to apply what they taught you in uni, which was Java, to PHP. PHP was fine before. I earned good money with it and had fun doing so. Then 2010 the next generation of clueless devs enters the scene, polluting it with their nonsense.

Very much what's happening in Go right now with the cloud microservices fetish.

Can't you booksmart idiots STFU for once and let people do the pragmatic and sensible approach?

Fucking Hipsters

The people who care about and are tasked with maintaining a large long running code base.

Nope, that came after my time.

Those OO & OOP principles are the pragmatic and sensible approach learned after cleaning up after "hipster" web "artisans". If we're going to throw around claims without knowing anything about the other person; you sound like the kind of dev who writes some code that works on the happy path, but is completely unmaintainable and non-extensible.

(But I know nothing about you, so I really have NFI, just like you have NFI about me and what I do)
