"Don't use the debugger, just use var_dump( )"
- Project Manager

My favourite debug code, took me a couple of days to find where it was.

@C0D4 y tho ?

@Salim apparently to identify performance issues.

This wasn't mine.... a project I took over with this thing everywhere.

@C0D4 I feel you, I took over a project with controllers spanning over 5 KLOC

"just use printr"

I still use var_dump() because XDebug slows things down too much for me plus I have no idea how to use it 🤷‍♀️

Depends on use case and problem complexity.
Sometimes you would need wall of var_dump()'s, sometimes debugger will be more annoying.

More XP you have, the more accurately you know which tool you need in given instance of problem.

console.log. nobody?

@sandeepbalan

And unpleasant silence happened...

@sandeepbalan we don't do that here 😏

Warning: Use of undefined constant Console - assumed 'Console' in /path/to/file.php on line 3

Warning: log() expects parameter 1 to be float, string given in /path/to/file.php on line 3

@C0D4

Almost.. Almost!

Warning isnt warning but rather "PHP Warning:"

This one is more on-point

PHP Warning: Use of undefined constant console - assumed 'console' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in /tmp/fun.php on line 3
PHP Warning: log() expects parameter 1 to be float, string given in /tmp/fun.php on line 3

Its funny how devs can literally emulate in brain exac contents of these errors...

@DubbaThony it's 6am. Close enough for this hour of the day.

You know you've seen those errors way to many times when you can write them from memory.

@C0D4

dw night owl ;)

Ah, also the thingy that it will throw an error in future versions but that's added recently so no biggie ;)

Still I love how we can predict exacly what message will be and we are usually mistaken by some typo or sth.

@DubbaThony not a night owl. Not long dragged myself out of bed.

@C0D4 aaah, early bird than.

Sorry ;)

Anyway I fully understand that you are still booting and need some caff flowing before proper script execution 😂

@DubbaThony mm coffee sounds good, currently stuck at a prompt

-> Insert coffee to continue.

Thats a good 1.5-2hours away by the time I get to work.

#uselessTrainWorks😣

@C0D4thats my bios screen. When I POST in morning im like hard stuck before coffee so i can 100% relate. Its 22:43 for me btw

@DubbaThony 15-20 more min and I'll have that big cup of joe!!
I just need to not have a system freeze in the meantime.

@C0D4

Wait its not frozen?

Apparently your system can work coffeelessly, my system will be in bootloop until caff is provided

@DubbaThony background processors are running, albeit slowly.

It's like running Windows 10 on a single core processor and 512mb ram.
It's having a bad time but surviving 😅

@C0D4

So for me better analogy is literally fuel and car, without it you can turn on the lights and stuff but it wont get you anywhere.

@DubbaThony that works too, just put it into gear and let it roll down a hill.

@C0D4

That is beeing from bed to floor? 😂
