newz2000I have a 90% complete "best eggrool/pizza/bbq" set of apps.19:20
imbrandon:)19:21
newz2000Did you know that in the english speaking world outside the US they're not called eggrolls,19:21

imbrandonAmoz: i'm much much more skilled at core php and php logic etc etc , and making webservers fast, but i can and do the front end stuff tooo, too many neew devs focus on one end, i like the whole stack, thus i call my self a "full stack developer" not many are , and even less are good at it, i like to think i am19:33
imbrandon:)19:33
imbrandonbending drupal and wordpress to my will is fun :)19:34
Amozimbrandon, just curious, did you learn anything the academic way, or is everything homemade knowledge?19:34
imbrandonlike the first thing i do on a drupal site is add my own preboot.inc.php to fire BEFORE drupal bootstrap.inc that normaly isnt possible but i do it and without hacking core or using php,ini prepend file :)19:35
imbrandonAmoz: home made, started in the mid nighies as a teen and never stopped19:35

imbrandona tons and tons of smaller sites19:46
imbrandoncartoonnetwork.co.uk and .de , my bad typo19:47
Amoz:P19:47
imbrandoni normaly get to work on one or two cool sites a year :)19:47
Amozthe design, or backend or both?19:47
Amozfor grammy and pets.19:47
imbrandoni've even done the code for ubnutnu.com in one lifetime :) huh newz2000 lol19:47
imbrandondrupal for all 4 of those19:47
Amozubnutnu :D19:48
imbrandonand i was the main module coder on pets19:48
imbrandonand the main speed and reliabilty engneer on grammy19:48
imbrandonand mostly theme stuff on cartoonnetwrk19:48
imbrandonbut some modules with the tv schedule and stuff19:48
imbrandonoh ford.ca is another19:49
imbrandoni lead the team that did that19:49
imbrandonits not drupal19:49
imbrandonits java j2ee with sping framework19:49
Amozheh19:49
imbrandonbut yea, i've left a mark here and there on the web19:50
imbrandon:)19:50
Amozwe're doing the java ee and servlets stuff in a course right now19:50
imbrandoni code alot on lessphp ( a less implmentatino in phpp ) on github and contrib to twitter bootsrapp too19:50
imbrandonyea java stuff is ok, bug projects suck19:51
imbrandonbut small compartmental ones are ok19:51
AmozI like java :P19:51
imbrandonanymore i would use small servlets on zend server and miz the php and java as one19:51
imbrandonmix*19:51
Amozthen I found python19:52
Amozit's amazing for smaller scripts and such19:52
imbrandonand hit your head ?19:52
imbrandonheh19:52
imbrandonmaybe smaller but java is still faster19:52
imbrandonand much easier to code for19:52
Amozof course19:52
Amozmore consistent19:53
imbrandonpythin is a nightmare to maintain19:53
imbrandonfor the web19:53
imbrandonfor apps its much diff19:53
Amozwhat's so bad about python on the web?19:53
imbrandonbut the web stuf was all strapped on a as an after thought and forces mvc even when thats not the best way to do it19:53
imbrandonpython like perl was not made for it, it shows19:54
imbrandon:)19:54
Amozhow?19:54
imbrandoni'm a big fan of the right tool for the job no matter the lang19:54
imbrandonand i do use python ALOT just not on the web19:54
imbrandonwhat do you mean19:55
imbrandonhow?19:55
Amozyou say "it shows"19:55
imbrandonhow was it an after thought19:55
AmozI suppose "why" is more appropriate19:55
Amozwhy does it show?19:55
imbrandonumm the whole wsgi and force of mvc , it was not arround before then and dosent understand that bad code is good19:55
imbrandonthast the biggest reason of all really19:56
Amozisn't that just django? MVC I mean?19:56
imbrandonif python would under stand that bad code is actually good sometimes and let the dev make the call then it would overtake php but it cant by design19:57
imbrandonAmoz: well yea but put it like this dont use django and then tell me it dont show even more that python was not inteed for the web19:57
imbrandonthe hooops to jump to do simple http respo19:58
imbrandonis nuts19:58
Amozwhat about another framework, not forcing MVC?19:58
imbrandonbut a succefful lang of any kind needs to allow bad code, bad code is what makes the world go round19:58
imbrandonAmoz: sure but thats just putting lipstick on a pig19:59
imbrandonstill dont helop my main issue19:59
imbrandonof the bad code19:59
imbrandonbusiness want it done now, and just to have it work, they dont care if its the best way19:59
imbrandonmake it work BAD way then go back and fix it20:00
imbrandonand again and again20:00
imbrandonand like it or not corp  pay for alot of web dev20:00
imbrandonso what they want goes20:00
imbrandonand if python can do it then python goes20:00
imbrandonsee ?20:00
imbrandoncont*20:00
imbrandoncant*20:00
imbrandongrrr20:00
Amozyou're too quick on the keyboard ;)20:01
imbrandonnah damn small bluetooth one20:01
imbrandonfat fingers20:01
imbrandonneed to go get me a replace ment20:01
AmozI see your point, but there are a lot of companies using django, no?20:01
imbrandonno20:01
imbrandonlook outside of the ubuntu world20:01
imbrandoni have not see it used ANYWHERE20:02
imbrandonlike look at yahoo.com its php20:02
Amozwhy do ubuntu use it then?20:02
imbrandonfacebook its php20:02
imbrandonhell windows asuzure control pannel is php20:02
imbrandon:)20:02
imbrandonubuntu likes it because most of their desktop is python20:02
imbrandonand lp was a zope app to begin with20:02
imbrandonso if all your devs know python to start20:03
imbrandonwhy hire others20:03
imbrandonor two sets of devs in the beginin20:03
imbrandonyou dont you use python :)20:03
imbrandonmakes $$ sense20:03
Amozso maybe python is filling a gap there?20:03
imbrandonand its just stuck, but only here, look at debian its the same thing only with perl, and the whole rest of the internet is either c#.net or php evnen on windows php on iis is nice now a days20:04
imbrandonand has alot of bit following20:04
imbrandonsure but see its a niche20:04
imbrandonand sadly it will stay that way imho20:04
imbrandonbecause its design is some of the core propblems , e.g. they dont want to fix it20:05
Amozso what nice PHP frameworks are there?20:05
imbrandonsymphony2 zendframework220:05
imbrandoncake20:05
imbrandoncoke ignighter20:05
imbrandoncode*20:05
Amozcodeigniter?20:05
imbrandonummm and quite a few others20:05
imbrandonyea CI20:05
AmozI've been playing around with CI a little20:06
imbrandonthe first 2 are the ones most ppl use, core use zend and all alse use symphony mostly20:06
AmozI liked the small footprint20:06
imbrandonand then drupal and wordpress are popular too20:06
imbrandonall have tiny foorpronts now20:06
imbrandonby design with php 5.3 classs register auto load lazy load20:07
imbrandonand mosule namespaces __NAMESPCE__20:07
imbrandonin 5.420:07
imbrandonmakers them all tiny memmory20:07
imbrandoneven what used to be a hog like drupal20:07
Amozokay, I didn't mean footprint then20:07
imbrandoni have a drupal 6 site i maintain that avg about 2k hits a minute, not a ton but steady20:08
AmozI meant the actual function part20:08
imbrandonand it avg 5mb a page load mem20:08
imbrandonthats TINY TINY for drupal20:08
Amozthere's just the necessary stuff in the CI core20:08
imbrandonah thats bad imho why even use a framework then20:08
imbrandonyou dont loose anything but hdd space if you add everything20:09
imbrandonand hdd is cheap and php is text :)20:09
Amozthat's one way to see it20:09
AmozI liked the nonbloated docs20:09
imbrandonlazy class initializatino changes the game20:09
Amozeasy to start out with it20:09
imbrandoni like no docs tbh, i just read the code ( in php )20:09
Amozinstead of having a lot of different complex parameters everywhere20:10
Amozheh20:10
imbrandonyea but too much abstraction can be bad tooo20:10
Amozyou're not too fond of abstraction I take it20:10
imbrandonfolowing a inherited classs 4 or 5 deep is a pain and when your on a deadline20:10
imbrandonand have real customers hitting the page at 10k a second likem OMGubntu.co.uk was the other day20:11
imbrandonyou dont have time to pussyfoot with abstractin cuz its pretty20:11
Amozof course not20:11
Amozif someone is, they're doing it wrong20:11
imbrandonyou need it to be easy and self documenting20:11
imbrandonthe ide makes it pretty :)20:11
Amozbut having a small function for executing just the SQL query and nothing else is neat20:11
imbrandonsure but like say in my code , there is no global namespace functions othere than php core20:12
Amozanyway, I'm off20:12
Amozgotta go20:12
Amozcya !20:12
imbrandonthey are in a class and that class is name spaced20:12
Amoz:D20:12
imbrandonkk l8tre20:12
Amoznice talking20:12
imbrandonu too20:12
imbrandonttyl20:12
