A new path forward for WordPress, and for the open web
Back in December, I wrote about the state of leadership in the WordPress ecosystem.

I recently joined a startup. Nearly the entire code base was build by a single person over 3 years, who was learning programming as he went. Yep, he used #PHP.

*That* is why PHP is so popular, and still so relevant…

I like JetBrains products, but why in the hell does CLion, which you'd use to work on php-src, not support phpt files, which you would only need to use if you're working on php-src? It instead tells you to use PHPStorm, which... doesn't support the C code that is php-src.

I’ve always disliked the fact that SOHO NAT routers all seem to be configured with one of a handful of 192.168.*/24 subnets. Beyond the risk of collision, I’ve had the experience of being told vehemently by benighted customer “IT guys” that I’ve done something horribly wrong by setting their inside up on 10.175.202.0/23 or some similarly uncommon RFC1918 block, because they “knew” that it was supposed to be in the Class C range of RFC 1918.
