He's being irrational because it involves his brother's work, and HN usually offers sound advice. I don't care what happens, as long as it's best for the company.

Tabs vs. spaces is soon going to join the following: GPL vs. BSD; VIM vs. Emacs; Centralized vs. Decentralized; et cetera. As long as people are consistent, either way is fine.

"improve my PHP abilities to OOP" Reading that made me laugh. PHP's OOP is extremely flawed (among various other things, like their inability to universalize the $needle and $haystack argument order: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=37088 ),
