If that is the case, and I’m not saying it is or isn’t, then why wouldn’t Ford say that?

IntelliJ for projects. It’s not free, but the functionality will save you tons of time. VS Code for misc files. It starts up way faster than IntelliJ when you need to do something quickly. Vim on the server. For the record, I also use vim k

I'm with you 100%. I only want notifications of work critical information or direct messages from friends and family. Everything else is usually just a hook to get you to "engage" with more advertising.

I allow myself one photo, good or bad, and then I let myself experience the event unmediated. I usually go to live events to escape staring at a screen, so taking pictures or videos the entire time defeats the purpose.

Seems that way. Unfortunately, this kills the #1 reason to use PHP: Easy deployment on almost any web host.

This seems like it would be a good companion Alexa product at around $100. I'm afraid the use-case is too specific for $200.
