Did you see the #PHP project switched to GitHub issues? It has already made reporting, searching and tracking PHP bugs so much more enjoyable for me in the last month. Thanks @nikita_ppv for kickstarting the migration!

“Wow. Cops killed a black man. Look at this video, he was begging for his life and they were laughing." "That's terrible. But fortunately, they can be prosecuted for murder. "Oh, my. You're new to America, aren't you? The prosecutor will decline to indict." "What? Why?"

"the difference between baseball & business, however, is that baseball has a truncated outcome distribution. when you swing, no matter how well you connect, the most runs you can score is 4. in business, every once in a while, when you step up to the plate, you can score 1,000."

I have a couple questions to all my #devs and Eng managers out there. Related to github.com/marketplace: If you didn't install/buy a tool here, why not? What benefits were you expecting find here? Bumping this thread would be 💚 Honesty is appreciated.
