No React components yet. - Docker compose files are now in the root directory Contributions welcome: https://github.com/howToCodeWell/code-quiz Ideas for the future Store Quizzes in Markdown files instead of PHP fixtures
- Simplified - We have a single source of truth for code questions
- Future proofing - We can use code snippets in the questions
PHP has these three problems
- PHP has too many BC breaks which is making library authors uncomfortable
- Voting is too centralised. You have to be in 'the club' to vote on RFCs
- Funding is an issue
I personally think that PHP should only introduce BC breaks if:
- There is a really good benefit in doing so.
- All BC breaks should have been mentioned in the RFC with examples.
- BC breaks are only allowed in major releases.
- There is a large deprecation window between major releases.
- Backward compatibility is important and should prioritised over new changes.
Voting is too centralised.
- Mailing lists suck. There are better ways to manage communication in 2022
- It does feel like an elitist club.
- Follow the RFC guide here https://wiki.php.net/rfc/howto
Funding is a problem
- Companies need to take PHP more seriously and pay for the communities time
- Companies need understand that open source comes at a cost to both them and the community
- Who pays for PHP https://thephp.cc/articles/who-pays-for-php
