I think this is a sound analogy. I certainly recognize myself in the person without proper training and theoretical knowledge that just went and did stuff. Of course I changed and so did my tooling.


If it wasn't for how easy it was to get started and learn PHP back in 1998 when I started, I'm pretty sure I'd have gone to culinary school and became a chef instead of an software engineer.

I owe everything I have to Rasmus and his beautiful "shitty" language.
