   @ramsey i am not a serious php developer but have been using several amazing php projects (#mediawiki, #moodle etc etc). What i notice is a certain stagnation, domain specific silos, priority in safeguarding existing usage rather than inventing the future (which is what creates senior developer opportunities).

   I might be just talking nonsense but maybe the emerging fediverse (not just the social media variety like #kbin but broader federation) will rejuvenate things given PHP is web-native.

     I’m feeling down right now and will probably delete this, but a depression-fueled question is on my mind…

     Has the #PHP ecosystem failed its community by not providing new and growing opportunities for careers and advancement with the PHP programming language?

     There are a growing number of PHP community folks who speak at PHP conferences and write PHP articles/books but who no longer do PHP as part of their day jobs.

     Why is that?
