    I can’t remember the last time there was a vulnerability like this. There have been, but it’s been quite a while.

    Feel free to use what you want, like what you want, but man, it just feels like when a woman gains political power and people come out of the WOODWORK to suddenly have problems with women in power. And I mean, people are absolutely bigoted against PHP. Is it worthy of criticism? It surely iw worthy of a lot, sure. Is it worthy of THIS level of disdain? I think not, but again, I’m all for people using what they like and feel is superior.

    As for me, I’ve hosted professionally since 1997. While I’ve never been a big host, I did at one point have well over a hundred client sites, almost all WordPress. It’s been about a decade since I’ve seen any of them hacked, mostly because I keep all the sites I host up to date - WP, themes, plugins. And a bit of luck in there.

    So go on, be hateful as you wish, and I’ll keep quietly using a tool that works.

      Anecdotally yes, web development is the part of IT where I saw more women than elsewhere. It’s also paid less, heavily disrespected and more prone to burnout, the closer you are to the front end. I don’t know if it’s a correlation or causation (existing social hierarchies etc) thing.
