Some Things About Working with Code

I had been using the thinkphp framework for quite a long time, and recently after changing jobs I got familiar with it again, only to find that this framework is actually pretty good to use. From the code’s models and function calls, to data output, static generation and debugging… each kind of data presents a different logic, while at the same time sharing the same thinking. PHP has the ideas of Java, yet you can’t just copy Java’s methods wholesale. Today a colleague kept agonizing over this problem, when really he was overthinking it, mixing two different languages together. The ideas can be similar, but the usage differs. Suddenly it struck me that people’s thinking works no differently: related things get linked together and a conclusion is drawn, yet in the end it loses out to the answer that practice gives. Using a framework isn’t hard, and there’s no special trick to it — sometimes you’re just overthinking and your thinking goes off track. The shortcut to success is the same way: you don’t have to have made it by 30, and you don’t have to get certified, it’s just a matter of how much time has settled and how you understand the world. We can’t change what we fundamentally are, but we can work toward changing in the direction of the future. It’s very simple, everything is easy…
