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…

Ach ja. Science Fiction und Fantasy, die ich im Juni (und den ersten Juli-Tagen) gelesen habe, gibt es auch noch. Zeitreisen, Space Opera, Klimakatastrophen, die ganz ferne Zukunft der Menschheit und Kairo 1912 sind alle mit dabei.
