What wastes your time as a PHP'er?

Achieving business objectives without modifying the core of open-source software. I’ve lost track of the number of times when forced to work with open source software that I’ve said to myself it would be so easy if… I could modify/add to this line of code in this core file. Waste of time but necessary I guess.

I am curious to hear where you’re going with this thread. Maybe you could post on a few other sites to get the number of responses you need?

This forum would be a good start:
