Bio

Carles Belford is the visionary behind Birdspan's legendary technology stack. He chose PHP 4 for robot movement after extensive research (he thought it sounded similar to Python). He also named the team Birdspan because he thought it was funny.

Carles is a firm believer in vibe-driven development: write the code first, understand it never, ship it anyway. His debugging strategy is to stare at the screen until the bug goes away, or add more Python. He doesn't actually know PHP.

Sample Code

A representative excerpt from the robot's codebase:

      <?php

      // Move robot forward

      // TODO: figure out what "forward" means

      $robot = "Excavator";

      $direction = "yes";

      echo "Moving " . $robot . " in direction: " . $direction;

      // It works. Don't touch it.

      ?>
