"the unkillable cockroach of the world wide web: PHP"
I'm biased but this is best quote I've heard in quite a while.
- skrowl 12y agoTurdPress is pretty much solely responsible for keeping PHP alive this long. So so many kids these days learn a little WordPress and tell people they're web developers.
- TheOtherHobbes 12y agoIt's the IE of blog platforms. WP causes endless security problems for hosting companies. Even when it's locked down it's (often) still wide open, and most users don't know how to lock it down. But it's never going to die, because ecosystem. Static alternatives are never going to take over, because they don't have gargantuan theme factories supporting them. And most users like pretty. So I guess we're stuck with it for a while yet.
