broken php pages like view1.php, view3.php all the way until 7 i think?? granted it was built back in the day when tables were the best way for you to make a decent website(so says the HoD) but.

all the styles are inline.

there are no indents.

Noooo!! I'm so sorry. This is literally a nightmare.

I don't get paid much for the work I do for this guy — $14/hr. It's just something I do on the side to fuel my coffee problem lol

i found out that one of my favorite teachers from high school passed away, just two days ago. sounds like she had been battling some kind of illness for a while... i feel an odd little hole left in my heart.

if any of you are still in school or are in touch with a favorite teacher, let them know how much they mean to you! they love hearing that kind of thing.

I've been working on updating an old site. The original author was new to programming at the time (10 - 15 years ago) and it's a huge messy nest of PHP.

Logic is messy and inconsistent. He repeats the same things over and over and ovβ€”and there are no global constants, so he references the same files using different paths.

All of his page routing is switch statements, which would be fine if he had used clear variable names for the pages??? Instead of numbers. Ah, yes, the "Account" page, number 38. I knew that.

There are multitudes of duplicate files, like conn.php and conn2.php, or big-long-fucking-file-name.php and big-long-fucking-file-name-2.php.bak

Folders are named like "mis," "ply," and "glb"...

The most offensive to me, stupidly, is how he's mixed tabs and spaces.

I'd choose Fae, since faeries are pretty much just downgraded gods. I'd rather include them as Celestials, though.

ah, i like celestials better than my suggestion of undead. seems in line with fae.

Question for any of the fantasy buffs in the community.

What would classify Valkyries as? Fae, Humanoids, or Beastfolk? They sorta have traits off all three but I'd like to place them into a single group. I'm leaning towards Fae but I'm not 100% on it.

in norse mythology, valkyrie are "helping spirits" of odin. they use malicious magic in the eddas to choose who lives or dies (and goes to valhalla) to fight during ragnarok. so, personally, i might lean toward considering them undead. they're considered undead in world of warcraft. it depends what fantasy races you're choosing from, though.
