13:23.11dick_turpinWow there's a lot of jobs on offer at the minute on the mailing list
13:24.17cpufreakjust hoaxes
13:30.17antiphaseThey know ChoHag is off the market, so the jobs are appearing now
13:32.49dick_turpinHahah
13:35.07dick_turpinI even saw one that I could blag my way through, don't think it was on the list I think it was on the Linux Jobs mailing list something about "Able to install Red Hat" Duh yeah
13:35.53antiphaseSome 15k graduate job I expect
13:38.26dick_turpinantiphase: Found it, Linuxjobs: [linuxjobs] RHEL/Clustering - 1 Month Contact - Guildford
13:38.38dick_turpin1 Month :-(
13:39.36*** join/#gllug celesteh (n=celesteh@sblug/member/celesteh)
13:42.43halirhel's built in clustering is crap though
13:42.47halinothing you want to commit to :)
14:03.48wethrinAnyone want a PHP-wrangling job at the Beeb?
14:03.56wethrinMust be competent at PHP (which is the hard thing to find)
14:06.06dick_turpinwethrin: Rules me out then :-(
14:23.39z00daxmight also need to specify ver of php
14:24.02z00daxmany people who consider themselves good at it, are often lost in the 4/5/6 tree's mixup
14:24.20LeedsI am an expert in php 7.75
14:25.48z00daxLeeds: there is a php-7 tree :)
14:26.00z00daxdont think they have quite made it to .75 though
14:26.30antiphasePHP is shit
14:27.00z00daxa lot of what people write in it definitely is
14:27.12Leedsnah, it's a pretty shitty language
14:28.27ArmandI look one look at tutorials for PHP and thought "fuck that!"
14:32.14dick_turpinhas looked through the index of PHP for beginners and cannot find an entry for Fuck That ;-)
14:32.30ArmandTrust me.. it's there..
14:32.39Armand:P
15:25.22wethrinPHP has been getting features that real languages have
15:38.33AndyMillarwethrin: are they offering real money for it?
15:38.34wethrinAndyMillar: Possibly
15:43.35dick_turpinHave a good weekend everyone
15:43.35*** part/#gllug dick_turpin (n=dick_tur@host217-34-163-30.in-addr.btopenworld.com)
15:43.37CopeAndyMillar: increasingly
15:43.45CopePHP5 is really not bad at all
15:43.53Copebut it is a bit of a kitchen sink now
15:44.37CopeI won't defend that the vast majority of PHP code in the wild is shite
15:44.50Copebut I've seen (and written) some really nice stuff in PHP
15:45.28wethrinPHP isn't the problem. It's the coders.
15:46.54Copequite
15:47.31antiphaseThere were plenty of other languages around already; there was no reason to produce a crap one to make programmers out of people who shouldn't have an Internet licence in the first place
15:48.05wethrinWasn't the original one done by someone who was too lazy to keep writing the same lot of Perl over and over again, so created some macros?
15:48.47antiphasePersonal Home Pages? :P
15:49.15antiphaseIt was written in Perl iirc
15:49.39Copeperl reuquired the programmer to learn perl, and a templating system, and a databases interface, and write some nasty cgi code
15:49.54ChoHagAnd PHP requires you not to.
15:50.06Copephp made it very easy to write slightly less nasty, more maintainable code
15:50.18CopeI'd use neither
15:50.43Copebut there was obviously a 'need' for PHP or it wouldn't have grown and succeeded in the way it did.
15:51.18halii suspect one of the main reasons people use it is the time-to-market factor
15:51.27Copeabsolutely
15:51.37Copein the same way that now rails is very popular
15:51.49Copebecause you can produce a decent webapp in no time at all
15:52.12ChoHagdecent-looking
15:52.15Copeand have a decent, tested framework and design pattern behind it
15:52.38CopeChoHag: how it looks is immaterial - an out of the box rails app will look shit
15:52.55ChoHagNo language can make the websites themselves decent. Something actually interesting is required for that.
15:53.27Copeyes, did you want to start saying something that isn't unbelievably obvious any time soon?
15:54.23antiphaseFor Ruby on fails, time to market is evidently more important than performance
15:54.45Copeantiphase: really? got anything to back that up?
15:55.14Copeor are you just spouting the usual thirty-eighth-hand fud?
15:55.35antiphaseOf course. It's Friday afternoon
15:55.45Copelaughs
15:55.49CopeI can't answer that! :)
15:55.55antiphaseAnything that builds database queries for you is destined to fail though
15:56.05Copeyeah active-record is a bit bonkers
17:34.50ChoHagI was nitpicking.
17:40.40ChoHagThe pimp dealing with this contract is useless.
17:53.03antiphaseHave they found out about your child molestation charge yet?
17:53.12ChoHagOh that's too well hidden.
18:11.06ChoHag"Hello this is <bank> can you confirm your details?"
18:11.17ChoHag"No, can you confirm who you are first?"
18:11.34ChoHag"No, but you can call back on <number>."
