Every time I hear this word firefish, I cannot help but be reminded of the phrase “turds of the firefish”, which appears quite randomly in one of Orson Scott Card’s novels.

We’re talking cross-platform depravity these days.

I even explicitly called out my statement as tongue-in-cheek, so it’s not to be taken 100% seriously. And full disclosure: I myself am not a PHP developer, but much worse: a PowerShell developer, among other languages.

It’s a nice, refreshing thing to listen to while making coffee on a Friday.
