PHP 10 miles

It's glad to know PHP is been alive for 10 years. PHP originally written by 27-year-old Rasmus Lerdorf and released in June 8, 1995 is now in PHP 5.0.4.

I think, I hadn't seen any computers when PHP 1.0 was released (in 1995). My memory says I picked PHP around late 2000 or early 2001.

One important thing I have noticed at this time is: PHP 1.0 wasn't a bunch of Perl scripts as many often quote; it was "set of small tight cgi binaries written in C"

Prediction: Expensify will crash through its insane question-based hiring process

 I have huge respect for  David Barrett for his technical background. But, his company, Expensify is following a modern  psychometric test called a  question-based hiring process . The company claims to look for candidates with 'Talent, Ambition, and Humility'.
