i don't know why people follow me, but I'm here to say The Atlantic reporting about PHP needs to be torn to shreds.

Surý spends his entire interview dismantling the reporter's presumptions: he says people could get PHP elsewhere or compile it themselves, of course, credits the PHP project for bringing him into the pre-release group, naturally, names Freexian as ready to take over, because why not, and says the day wasn’t stressful!

Then The Atlantic reporter still tries to gin up "oh no" FUD and hero worship? WTAF. The Atlantic used to be abolitionist, and here it's pumping a slavery model. I wouldn't line my birdcage with what they wrote.

Surý names exploitation and then the article turns him into the deserving servant and invites the public to tip him! Tipping is slavery. I guess I'll write it up, as I cancel my Atlantic subscription.
