WordPress – crap code

I’ve just been digging through query.php trying to fix a WordPress problem.

And the code I see is staggeringly bad. Yet this is core code.

e.g. take a look at get_posts(), pages upon pages of if statements. Utterly unreadable and there is no way to figure out how a change might cascade down the code.

I ran the code through a debugger. After staggering through the hundreds of lines of if statements I found WordPress was calling the function a 2nd time. So, not only is it incredibly long and incomprehensible. It gets called multiple times.

git reset

git reset allows you to undo changes that haven’t been shared yet.

Example A
git reset will reset the Staging area to the most recent commit.
1. you have a file in Staging ready to commit and want to remove it from Staging. See this:

$ git st
On branch master
Changes to be committed:
(use “git reset HEAD …” to unstage)

modified: test.txt

Now, to remove it from Staging, use git reset, e.g.
git reset

Now you have:
Unstaged changes after reset:
M test.txt
[git-test (master)]$ git st
On branch master
Changes not staged for commit:
(use “git add …” to update what will be committed)
(use “git checkout — …” to discard changes in working directory)

modified: test.txt
