Call it NIH, re-inventing the wheel, narcissism, or any number of other terms that come to mind, but I’ve always wanted to write my own PHP framework. Simple time constraints usually stop this self destructive urge in its tracks, but I’ve decided that I’m tired of saying to myself “Framework PHPxyz would be great if only it had ABC.”. So it is time to Just Do It.
No matter how much this project screams ego, my real objective is to learn and share with my fellow PHP addicts. I intend to chronicle the project here on phpaddiction.com as part of an experimental development process. I haven’t thought of a buzzword for this process yet but you know its coming! All egomaniacs who impose new frameworks on the world instead of working on an existing one must coin new buzzwords to help justify their pet project and I don’t intend to be left out.
Oh and hopefully we all learn something too.
