The PHP Foundation is turning 3 🎂 We just renewed our silver sponsorship for another year! Help us maintain and improve PHP, become a sponsor today! We're tired of our 8 person company still being the fourth largest sponsor at $18,000/year, surely you can do better! 💸 #phpc #php

Honestly, I stopped with small amount of sponsorship when I found out that Derick Rethans is core dev and being paid. Derick Rethans called every php dev who doesn't use his xdebug as amateur dev. www.reddit.com/r/laravel/co... (he deleted that tweet)

The comment was there for while because there was a bigger discussion about it Bigger problem was/is that this comment was made by xdebug author himself I helped a lot of people with php without calling them amateur The question is how many amateurs have this issue like me so it kills sponsorship

Hey, I don't disagree with your opinion of his post and I'm pretty sure he's understood the problem too. I just wonder what you are trying to accomplish now by trying to get people to stop funding the foundation? Did you stop using PHP as a consequence?

Where the hell I tried to stop people from funding the foundation? Read it again. I just said my honest opinion and why I stopped with sponsorship. When php community turned to same kind of dictatorship where you can't say anything without being attacked? I'm in android / kotlin
