cakephp makes you pass the null. It's infuriating to have to spend so much time in the api docs to figure out if its 6 or seven nulls that need to go as arguments in method calls. cocksuckers. I guess I'm just frustrated that I have to spend 20 minutes figuring out how to do something I could grind out in 5 minutes with ruby/rails. And since I am so frustrated I'm not really learning it while I'm making it just work ™.
There is a little spark of shallow enjoyment to be found in spending far more time writing code than reading about writing code. But fuck me if the problems don't get more complicated as I gain more understanding. Despair clusters blot out my will as I slouch in my seat at the certainty of my spending the next week 16 hours a day writing code I'm going to be dissatisfied with. Because if i was smarter or better at paying attention or could formulate and retain the complex abstractions in my head and see how all the different platforms/languages/workflows/processes/types would most elegantly tie together if I could just muster up a little more understanding of the complex meta programming design patterns or transparent type conversions using format bridgeing with json/soap/xml-rpc/REST/clr interconnections over web services using a distributed grid network. But since I can't my code is shit. I am that which those who know mock. This is why I rarely leave the house.
Just because I get it doesn't mean I got it. After all, you can drive a car quite well without knowing how to rebuild the carburetor.
