That's funny; for me, it's the one annoyance I have with PHP. I love PHP; there's some really neat modern OO methodology and cutting-edge ideas and best-practices that I'd love to share on HN, for example. But with the PHP-haters, the downsides of sharing outweigh the benefits. So like the OP article says, quality PHP developers just put their heads down and get back to work. Let Laracasts do the best-practices evangelism and move on.
