    YOU write YOUR framework and you know it really more than other’s. But..
    1- You are the only one to know your framework, while many people in a team may know ZF, RoR, ..
    2- YOU have not the QA and bug reports that larger projects actually have
    Anyway, I’m PHP programmer and I agree with you for your 2 first comments and with Soranima, it’s like MVC doesnt exists in languages such as PHP

  2. DarylN1965 says:

    This is the funniest one yet. I love that the SQL looks like spaghetti. LOL.

  3. kbrasee says:

    Actually, no, either “es-kew-ell” or “sequel” is correct.

  4. AnarchistDictator says:

    I love how he pronounces SQL incorrectly.

  5. Andrial12 says:

    Au contraire, 5 years everything will run in the cloud. Web apps by defintion can be used practically anywhere. within the next five years there will be no consumer desktop apps, expect the browser, and that certainly won’t be written in rails.

    Saying php can only be used for webapps is nonsense, i’m currently writing a MTA in php, thats certainly not a web app.

  6. Andrial12 says:

    Unlike your average student I’ve had over ten years of EXPERIENCE in real life programming enviroments, and why php work in the real world is the ability to code as simply or as elegantly as you like.

    You speak of orthogonality like its something you must do, when in reality its quite pretentious and brings about a complete new set of problems, like searching through hundreds of classes to find the one that actually does the work.

  7. Lilinye says:

    Ruby is a full featured language that can be used anywhere. Desktop, system administration, embedded devices, clusters, web(with or without rails), servers.

    PHP is a weak scripting language that has been ripped apart and hacked on too much. The security problems with PHP are well documented. It can be used as the back end of web apps, and um not much else.

    To compare PHP and Ruby is a bad joke.

  8. Lilinye says:

    Unlike your average PHP “programmer” I have a degree in computer science(BS&MS).

    PHP has no regularity(it suffers from a lack of orthogonality, generality and uniformity) if you need the terms explained to you, come back when you have some education.

    Ruby has full object oriented features, and many functional language features.

    PHP is the language of choice of the “programmers” that need the for dummies books. In other words it is a language for amateurs.

  9. jiros1 says:

    @Andrial12 Totally agree

  10. Andrial12 says:

    About 80% of the time i don’t… but then again I don’t know how to write a full OS. I do however know quite a lot about php and i’ve failed to see the point of learning a framework when i trust my own classes far more, this is because i wrote them.

  11. kbrasee says:

    Then why would you trust the server and the operating system?

  12. Andrial12 says:

    but it may have been written by an idiot… i can’t trust it if i didn’t write it myself!

  13. kbrasee says:

    Frameworks are for people who don’t waste time writing code that’s already been written before.

  14. Soranima says:

    SQL

  15. Soranima says:

    Yeah its like people havent heard of a PHP MVC!

    +1

  16. Andrial12 says:

    Frameworks are for people who can’t code properly

  17. exceilence says:

    delete rube???

    fuck you bitch

    I fuck your mouth

  18. admLoki says:

    yum erase php5

  19. admLoki says:

    Go on, PHP developer.

  20. satikass says:

    yeah, php ==ftw.
    delete(“ruby”);

  21. betobonix says:

    ok, now where is the Zend Framework vs Ruby language?

  22. ciaoarron says:

    I’d have to agree with the other comments on your videos; it’s comparing PHP to a framework, it’s like comparing a pack of nuts and bolts to a kitset Mecano.

  23. Andrial12 says:

    ruby != own

  24. tienloc47 says:

    noob! it’s SQL.

  25. haloandre says:
