Even worse, Tumblr had an incident where they accidentally changed <?php to i?php (my guess would be editing directly on the server with vim?) and exposed not only their source code but also credentials. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2343351 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2343351 It would have been possible for tumblr to avoid this with good development practices (don’t edit code live, don’t bake credentials into code, etc) but I imagine there was a culture of doing it at the time. I don’t think it’s fair to tell developers “use our language, it’s super easy!” and then expect them to discard all of those bad habits as they start putting things in production.
