I hate this modern fad of "composed" , "modular" extension/plug-in development. ALL I want to do is add two dropdowns to a phpBB forum, one for users and one for a single admin setting.

Guess what? I need TEN fucking files to make this extension work. Fuck your fucked dependency injection, fuck learning your whole bloody "ecosystem" (kill me already), fuck having a "tutorial" that doesn't explain what half the settings are...

It really drives me nuts that I have to spread my code over so many files to make this work.

That said, I don't really hate phpBB, but maaaaaaaan, making the simplest, dumbest thing is unnecessarily complicated.

    If we didn't follow that sort of development then you'd have to make changes across the entire codebase, not just ten files.

    But yes, this seems to be a broken system anyway, lol.
