BIG PODCAST NEWS! For the first time I'm aware of, we have a #WordPress podcast in a non-Western language. "WPVaat – આપની વાત આપનો અનુભવ" is a Gujarati based podcast about WordPress. Please help spread the word! https://wppodcasts.com/podcast/wpvaat/
So, this has probably been around forever, but I've never noticed this in a stack trace before "Object(SensitiveParameterValue)"
As in: Fatal error: Uncaught mysqli_sql_exception: No such file or directory in /Users/preinheimer/Sites/localhost/common.php:3 Stack trace: #0 /Users/preinheimer/Sites/localhost/common.php(3): mysqli->__construct('localhost', 'root', Object(SensitiveParameterValue), 'space_trade')
I wrote up three stories about my (ow) 14 or so years as a plug-in reviewer.
They are scheduled for Wednesdays in the summer (after I’m retired). They are all sanitized and escaped (no naming and shaming).
The trend I’ve noticed is nothing new. But I actually was able to identify the exact turning point, where angry devs became vile and threatening… so that was fun. And yes, that is the first tale.
The second story is about why I hate pretty much all security plugins. That one mentions Jetpack by name (which I do not hate but I recognize it’s flaws), and it also brings up what was a rather public fiasco (WP-Spamshield even had a whole post on WPTavern).
The third is about a guy who stole a plugin he bought and honestly it’s the first time I heard a lawyer say “double down on dumbassery” when I’d asked them for advice afterwards.
I have rewritten my personal website with #sveltekit it was a really nice experience! I plan to release new Blog posts about #php , #svelte and #laravel more regular now. If you curious have a look https://www.bitbench.dev/ 😄 btw the code is open source on my GitHub
I've decided to go to WordCamp Europe 2023 this year after much deliberation. If you're heading there too, I hope that our paths cross! #wceu2023#WCEU#wordpress
