    Really sad to see people I respected take a big dump on PHP today. It was unnecessary. This is open source. Things run on too few donations and mostly unpaid work.

    These people work hard. They deal with entitled users in bug trackers. They sift through slop reports and slop contributions. They have to defend their infra from thieves who can afford to lose more money in an hour than they will not make in a lifetime. They have to drop everything when their unpaid project has an emergency.

    I very rarely see such behavior on the Fedi, and it fills me with hopelessness.

    You can be a better person. You can feel angry and exhausted without hurting those on your side of the struggle.

    That presentation of PHP changed my mind on the language. Before, I focused on how it's inconsistent and its design encourage to go spaghetti with presentation and logic all mixed together. (I learned of django's router/function/template and I'm not going back).

    But watching that presebtation, I understood how much effort PHP put in being friendly to new-comer. When I started, I opened wamp and boom, I had a PHP dev environment. Two click and done.

    PHP is nice.
