  • I waffle so hard here: on the one hand, php’s “juggling” does make for faster implementation, and is super convenient. The part where it fails is during that juggle it can have super weird behavior, especially in coercing strings to numeric values.

    I’ve started going the route of explicit types in all new functionality and having tests cover the awry situations that can occur, mainly because it can help prevent those “odd” situations by throwing up a big red flag rather than just “oh, I think I’ve got what you want here.”











  • Tbf, the approach of capitalism is to make a couple people an obscene amount of money at the expense of destroying the viability of the planet, and already includes serfdom baked in.

    Also, other attempts at communism were immediately attacked as “it won’t work,” while the countries saying that implemented policies to ensure that it didn’t.

    Its not a perfect solution, and ofc it may have failed on its own. But I’d argue that capitalism as its now maintained means you’ll get your comfort now at the expense of future generations.
