Folks, if you parrot opinions like "PHP is an insecure language" or "PHP has inherent security flaws" in 2024, and you can't point to specific issues with modern, current versions of PHP to back it up, all you are doing is demonstrating your ignorance.

The fact is, modern #PHP is every bit as secure, solid and performant a server-side #programming platform as #Node, #Python, or many other popular languages.

It’s just occurred to me that “individual responsibility” marketing by corporations about things like plastic waste and carbon footprints are like a trolley problem given to us by the trolley driver to distract us with debate while no matter what they keep rolling over innocent folks tied to the rails.

John Mastodon wrote the original proof of concept code for Mastodon in 1978 on a Casio desk calculator. It wasn’t able to be released until decades later as the Ruby programming language in which it was written and the public internet on which it depended were not yet invented.

I'm not sure if people outside the #PHP community realise just how much it is powered by sheer bloody-minded oppositionalism in response to those who claim PHP is not a good language.

I don't miss Twitter but I do miss the #Laravel community I used to interact with there. I don't really see any evidence that those folks are likely to give up on it soon, but I do wish they would. I expect the hard-liners wouldn't end up on Mastodon anyway.

Welp, will just have to do my best to build and contribute what I'm missing to this community.

Ugly code? Not to worry!

Extract it all to a function and call it!

Aaah, now your codebase is completely clean and tidy. Time to kick back and relax.

An impoverished tropical nation fields a woefully unprepared team to compete for their very first time at the winter olympics in a dangerous sport only wealthy European countries care about. To nobody's surprise they come last and are nearly killed. Everybody slow claps.

It's not an LLM it's a Dunning-Krueger machine. Absolute confidence and just enough knowledge on any subject to convince someone who doesn't know about that subject that it's an expert, without enough expertise to know it's not.
