I have a gf. I'm working on a huge site migration/PHP4->5/MySQL4->5 upgrade right now and the amount of work necessary to complete this shit keeps me from releasing my sexual energy all over her chest and snuggling with the sticky gf. PHP is such a clusterfuck & I'd rather use FIOC or even Ruby for web dev stuff, but muh skills pay the bills.
I understand the near-monastic level of devotion required to excel at real programming, but you can still have a gf without sacrificing your coding to heteronormative normalfaggotry. Fuck, move to Silicon Valley/San Francisco and tell people you're the next Zuckaturd - money-grubbing Asian bitches will suck the skin off your cock.
