Hot Take: PHP does not need any more operators. 99% of Devs have probably never used most of the operators it already has.

WP needs a PR team filtering @ma.tt's public posts. I rewrote this statement for you so you no longer sound like an asshat. This is how it should have read without your ego involved. #wordpress

The GTranslate WP plugin ships with it's own root cert?? I guess so they don't need to bother paying for valid certs for their own servers? 🚩🚩🚩

I love #Drupal but you guys really gotta start leading with way with D7 -> D11 migrations. The Drupal.org website running on D7 still is really not a good look. Will you continue with plans to discontinue it while you're still using it yourself @drupalassociation.bsky.social ?
