Alleged web developer confused by URLs, wonders if a prototype is the counterpart of an electrotype.

Seriously though, is there a polite way to say "prototype.php.net exists for the purposes of prototyping"?

Or should I stick with my go-to response: Sir, this is an Arby's™.

Me: Wandering through PHP's website code, updating some patterns to modern syntax.

PHP website: Not actually on 8.0 yet.

Me:

Reassembling my workspace in the brand new bedroom I've built out in my basement. The office managers have reported for duty and are watching over me intently.

Discussing partial function application over the past week:

It's almost beautiful in a way... almost.

This one even got my wife laughing out loud.

There's too much text to put it in the mouse over, so I've pasted it to gist for the screen reader inclined.

Just.... everything about this.

As always, identities have been changed to protect the stupid.

This one is pretty sus.
I say we vote them out an airlock before anyone else gets hurt.
