Imagine, if you will, a whole open plan office full of them...

Imagine how fast problems would be identified with that many rubber ducks for an engineer to talk to.

I was ready to have a rant about PHP. Well played.

It doesn’t matter what’s posted here, I’m always ready to rage about PHP. The community’s image always gets me.

PHP Developer here: Give me your worst!

Tomorrow you're going to be inheriting our in-house framework that uses legacy code from before PHP 7.0 with zero documentation and no dependency management.

You just described my previous job 😞😭😞

Sounds good to me.

Had another job where my task was to maintain Perl scripts from the 90s. The company was crap, though, so I only stayed for half a year.

Maintaining perl scripts from the 90s is my ball park!

Mind, I did write some of them, and they're still whirring away making it a pretty easy job. Perl's lack of breaking features is its strongest strength.

I have a Laravel app I've been maintaining for about ten years that will make you hate PHP as well.

Bold of you to assume I don't hate PHP already.

I also have a Ducky keyboard.

Too cute. I typically don't like squishy keys, but I'd make an exception here.

*Didn't hear the audio at first. That...is a bit too much, lol.

Ducky keyboards if they were actually good

dude's got all his ducks in a row
