Ugly problems often require ugly solutions. Solving an ugly problem in a pure manner is bloody hard.

For all the folks getting excited about my quotes. Here is another - Yes, I am a terrible coder, but I am probably still better than you :)

PHP is rarely the bottleneck.

I've never thought of PHP as more than a simple tool to solve problems.

I'm not a real programmer. I throw together things until it works then I move on. The real programmers will say Yeah it works but you're leaking memory everywhere. Perhaps we should fix that. I'll just restart Apache every 10 requests.

When the world becomes standard, I will start caring about standards.

There are people who actually like programming. I dont understand why they like programming.
