Though I don't understand why he's doing it now, in a lame duck session. It should happen in January. (It's a Republican doing it, but still...)

Not sure how well it will work, but I am totally here for the energy.

Remember when Log4J happened and everyone said "well let's just move away from Java"? Yeah, me neither. And that was just as big a deal.

Sysadmins, upgrade your servers. This is an easy process. If it's not, then the problem isn't PHP, it's your process. The same would be true for a JVM bug, Windows bug, Go bug...

If your org couldn't upgrade quickly and easily, this is a wake up call to review your release process.

Got a new employer.
Got a new health insurance plan.
... New plan doesn't cover some of my *generic, common medications*.

Anyone who defends the extortion system masquerading as health care in the US is a shill, full stop.

It's been made clear to me that one of the reasons I was hired for this job is my boss read the README files of some of my OSS projects and was impressed at how clear and detailed a writer I am.

I was today years old when I learned that Dockerfiles support heredoc-like syntax, and I am furious at every tutorial and presenter that has used a dozen lines with \ instead of that.

#Rust finally gets asymmetric visibility, two years after #PHP added it.

Boo. Yah.
