I read this article and found it to be a great example of why we should NOT adopt modern PHP techniques at our company.
50 lines of code and contrived examples (is HelloWorld class a view or controller? AwesomeClass is a model?) get one line of HTML emitted in a barely readable way.
This article fails to motivate why each layer of complexity is added. It basically starts with the assumption that you want to use a framework and says "hey look you can do the same thing with 50 lines of boilerplate, not really, but kind of."
I would be much more impressed with an article that starts with the obvious way to write a PHP application (.htaccess, index.php, products.php, library/database.php, library/*.php) and then explains the actual problems that would make you want to opt for more complexity/organization/modern techniques.

The (perceived?) reality is that social grows your user base and RSS doesn't.
Publishers care about growth more than serving existing customers.

A visitor that comes to your site via social is MUCH more valuable than someone that comes via RSS. The economics of this reality are what removed RSS from the limelight.
Dear publishers, let's fix this. Whenever you publish a blog post, etc. please syndicate it on social and then go back to your site to add "DISCUSS THIS ON TWITTER/whatever AT https://t.co/aesou02". Make sure that this also syndicates to RSS.
Dear pubsubbers, let's fix this. In your reader software, please lint these special links and show the discussion below the news. We know you want to get into the content discovery business -- this is the first step.
See the Slashdot RSS feed as a good example, they inline the discussion right in the feed.

Or how about the AM radio transmitter that is built into all x86 hardware - https://github.com/fulldecent/system-bus-radio

Still no first-class SFTP support. Doesn't look like I'll try VS Code until at least 2019.

This article could be more clear in showing who it is addressed to.
"How to Make the Most Out of Pull Requests -- a guide for project maintainers" or "How to Make the Most Out of Pull Requests -- so that your contributions get accepeted"

I just want to say when iPhone supports external flash I will probably never use Canon again. And I've used it for 10+ years professionally in the studio. Seriously, it's like Japan's products are moving at the same speed as their economy, i.e. not at all in the past 20 years.

1/4" mount with no anti-rotate hole.
I have a 80D and there is a 1/4" mount at the bottom. But if you take a photo in portrait orientation with a long lens then the 1/4" bolt will not be strong enough and the camera will twist out of it. It's a joke!

FYI, here is more analysis on the reality of "recruiting by grep". https://fulldecent.blogspot.com/2010/10/classic-and-modern-j...
Under the section Keyword Stuffing.

My company does $1m in sales annually. Stripe requires 7 days to close payments (versus 1d for other merchant accounts).
The extra $16k of float that Stripe requires is not worth it for me. This is why we have credit card numbers come to our server.

Before all the thought experiments, which I'm sure will ensue below, I just want to ask. Is it possible that men and women are actually different?

Is it just me or does anyone else think this will be a lame project just because it of GNU stewardship?
