I volunteered to help .netart artists in the early 2000's to get their code working. They were able to do some very creative things with PHP that I know they didn't have the coding skills to do otherwise. Like grabbing random images based on keyword searches from poems and creating montages with them. The industrial programmers would shudder in horror at the PHP code they wrote but it did the job. PHP is for the people. It'd be nice if the bureaucratic programmers would keep on making their proper factory factory singletons they learned at University without turning up their noses at PHP in their boxed world Malvina Reynolds - Little Boxes ▶ this video
Little boxes on the hillside Little boxes made of ticky tacky Little boxes on the hillside Little boxes all the same There's a pink one and a green one And a blue one and a yellow one And they're all made out of ticky tacky And they all look just the same "Little Boxes", 1961 [1] It refers to Daly City, incidentally. Multicolored tract houses were a 1950s California thing. [1] ▶ this video
You have no idea. Many Master Planned Communities have very restrictive CC&R's (Covenants, Codes & Restrictions) that you must contractually agree to abide to in order to buy a property there. I've seen all kinds of fun rules like only being allowed to paint your house one of the approved seven shades of beige, only using one type of roofing material, only planting trees and shrubs in any publicly facing frontage/backage/sideage from an approved list, maintaining no publicly visible weeds, maintaining a green front lawn year round and even put up a minimum amount of holiday decoration (lights) during December. Little Boxes, indeed[0]. [0] ▶ this video
