WTF? Why is there a "Comment Subject"? This isn't email!

Maybe I've spent too much time on Reddit.

Wow, yeah. What a time warp.

Raw PHP makes it far too easy to just throw something together and have it work, for today at least. Be sure to use a framework that encourages better behaviour. Markup and code should never be in the same file — user interface should be kept far, far away from application logic.

I recently returned to web development after a hiatus of a few years and I have been loving Perl Dancer, which is inspired by Ruby Sinatra. http://perldancer.org/ ... it's a very lightweight framework that just gets out of your way and doesn't prescribe any particular way of doing things. I had a whole pile of back-end application logic set up before I started on the web front-end, and Dancer allowed me to keep that separated from the web logic, and the user interface separated from both, very cleanly.

It's to the point where I can work on application logic and web behaviours in the same sandbox, and check in one or the other very easily, because the two parts of the system don't overlap in any files. A very good sign when I'm not even asking much of the source code management system!

dc FTW!

much handier than 'expr' in my shell pipelines.
