Max's Imagebin: A Testament to Simplicity

This story recounts the tale of Max, a programmer, and his Imagebin, a 15-year-old PHP image upload script. Imagebin's code is remarkably simple, a mere 233 lines, mostly changelog. The author attempted a Go rewrite, only to find the codebase ballooned and readability suffered. This led to a reflection on the complexity of software design, highlighting the ease of maintenance provided by concise code. Max's Imagebin's longevity is attributed to this simplicity. Ultimately, the author decided to keep Max's code and stick with PHP.
