A lot of PHP apps allow you to install plugins from within the app itself, without going trough the whole process of deployment. The app has to modify it's own code in that scenario. This is independent from programming language. If yo

PHP was never receiving requests directly from the Internet. It was always a standard practice to talk to PHP trough a server. The separation between what you call deploy and run user is what you get as default by using Nginx or Apache on U

I guess, I should speak to my experiences only. My mother alone, as a cleaning lady, was fully supporting me on 30 000 salary in Belgium, Leuven. But as a cleaning lady, earning that money was not easy, or stress free. She was doing 50-60 h

Well, I'm pretty happy to discount theology for example. My knowledge of the subject is rather small, but big enough that I'm aware that it is a very rich discipline of knowledge. As atheist/agnostic I just don't see any

I agree, and I'm ok with other types of arguments from the ones you mentioned. But why people, me included, should care about aesthetics in particular? We have limited time, we need to choose how to allocate it.
