I guess this means that the sample web app no longer breaks if it's kept running for 15 minutes? Or is that problem still around?

For PHP, I've been very impressed by Phabricator's code (and the related phutils library). It's worth looking at the git commits as well to see just how clean and structured commits can be. I'm much more impressed by it

In general, github should be treated as any social media site. Employees cannot reveal propietrary information but otherwise its personal and not company-related. Facebook and Google both have policies surrounding the open-sourcing of compa

An aspect not mentioned yet is that for a long time php and major projects had well known security problems. It also has a poor tooling culture, in part because writing CLI scripts feels awkward.

I've actually considered learning Erlang, but never gone through with it as other languages seem more useful and/or enjoyable. For me to seriously consider learning a new language/framework it should have: Good documentation.

Most of the time its not a cultural fit. Sometimes its because the company hired a senior dev and instead got a junior dev who has trouble following logic. They're not expecting you to be 100% up to speed but they do expect you to make

2006 was a while ago. Testing is still not expected in PHP but the modern frameworks have testing available even if the culture surrounding it is rather weak.

2)Within the past 6 months I had a wordpress install, which was up-to-date used in a DOS attack against someone else. PHP also does some surprising type changes that can be exploited. That plus people remembering the mysql_real_escape crap

There are a number of reasons why PHP is so disliked by outside communities including but not limited to MAGZine's points. 1) As mentioned there are a number of language inconsistencies, much more so than comparable languages. This inc

It becomes useful when: You have a large number of items in your ssh config, say 20-100+ and you don't want to jump around in vim. When you want to control teams' ssh configs using scripts. If you have a team of developers that all have thi

To clarify, a POC proves that you can actually do it. So if you want to build a service to create 3d html5 drawings of famous buildings, you might do a POC to prove that you can actually draw complex images in 3d. The mvp might be the abili

Honestly, things like this make me avoid using github just because of the amount of drama involved. By open sourcing projects you are effectively saying that this code is free to use however you feel fit. Yes they should have fully attribut

This is awesome and really sad at the same time. My last computer science class was 60-70% women and yet it seems like female representation in tech is only 30% if that. The good news is that it seems that in larger companies the ratio is c

I myself have the same problem with MOOCs. I've found that it helps to chunk things up. So start off with the basic information and then look for online tutorials to complete. And of course the best way to learn is to use what you're learni

For next time, there are multiple languages such as Python, Perl, Ruby, Java etc that could do the automation and not have to use Windows. And granted about PHP. The big problem it has is its inconsistency in terms of function parameters.
