But webhosting companies won't let you add those extensions, so they're pretty much useless
Unless you have a server of your own, of course... but then you'll lose the advantage of having PHP for cheap.



I am one of those people. But what I actually hate are programmers who continue to change the type of a variable inside a function without any real need or comment, one of the hugest sources of bugs in my experience.
And those who don't write any sort of docs of their functions with 10 parameters with funny names and convoluted type.
I worked with a guy who liked to have half-indexed, half-named arrays of arrays parameters with names like "a", "b", or "c", and the only way to understand what was supposed to be inside them was to read the whole function and the whole tree of calls. Sometimes the same function was present in another file, but instead of arrays it required objects, and when he changed something he only fixed his own pages.
When they objected my productivity, I just gave up and instead of using his functions I just wrote mine.
