I like that kind of agile programming, too.
But if someone like me says "come on, lets make it a little bit more
easy, because returning objects from functions is some kind of
unconventional; many developers will make mistakes here..." - why not?
They will. I can tell by sure.
Since I begun reading this mailing list I have the impression, that
there are only PHP-programmers like us out there. But the fact is,
that the most PHP-programmers didn't even read the manuals completly.
You may say "Their fault" "Are they programmers, if they don't?", but
this is first a little bit of ignorance because second this is one of
the best features, that PHP has - this "nicely flow", everybody can do
it. I always think of Bob Ross, when I explain PHP.
But it's ok, there are no mistakes, there are just happy little accidents. :)
