The irony of cheap tricks
I’m a memeber of a social netowrking site which is getting much attention at the moment. It’s name rhymes with Chase Wook. The profiferation of applications you can add to it at the moment is amazing, and whilst I have no interesting in 99 percent of them, occationally they throw up the odd interesting nugget. One I “installed” a few minutes ago looked at everything in your profile, and decided which programming language most resembled your life. Normally these things should be treated with complete contempt and ignored, after all, if I was a fruit what about my life makes me more likely to be a grapefruit than an apple, but this time, it was uncannily accurare. I have no doubt that thisn purely based on the number of friends I have, or the lack of photos, or the frequency of swear words in posts, but all the same..
You are:PHP
You’ve somehow grown into one of the most popular things around, despite having little structure, consistency, or any of the things people generally associate with a programming language. The fact you’re so easy to get along with has helped a long way, but the problem is that things can get complex with you very quickly.
I could have written that, if I was a bit more honest with myself, and a little more eloquent.
