You PHP guys are really one of a kind. ;-)

Back in the days, when I was working in a PHP shop, people would do such things all the time. Often they end up with rather incomplete idiosyncratic solutions.

Later I got into JavaScript and now have the different extreme of people pulling in libraries for everything (left pad, lol) ending up with 1MB own code and 4GB libraries which get you in dependency hell on the updates every few months.

Guess, becoming a senior developer is figuring out what to pull and what to write yourself, hehe.
