I love you PHP 5.6, I really do.

I’ve tried staying quiet about this but… it bothers me the only mention of security is the presumption a plugin will have flaws. Well, yes, if you prioritize the misspelling WordPress over escaping and sanitization, that’s exactly what will happen.

What Agencies are Looking for in Your Code

What you young’uns don’t understand is that CSS-Tricks used to be run by some guy called Chris as a side gig. I think he runs a farm out west these days.

I’m excited about this too, for a while I was getting daily review requests from Jonny & his team mates for one performance improvement or another. *Even better with a persistent cache.*

One thing to checkout it in WordPress 6.0 beta 1, is some of the amazing work that has been done by me and the @XWP performance team. The work we committed to core, improves database performance. Meaning that 6 less MySQL queries are run per average page load.
