> Phabricator has more than 300,000 lines of PHP, so there are probably at least sixty or seventy million security vulnerabilities in the project. Virtually limitless wealth!
"Written in PHP so literally anyone can contribute, even if they have no idea how to program." - not exactly a cheery marketing point for PHP, not sure I'd want to use something written by people who have no idea how to program. But I guess that's why they have the blurb above...
It's a joke. You can't speak about PHP online without getting inundated with comments about how supposedly awful it is, and how if you like PHP you are a bad developer.
They are just embracing the steriotype sarcastically.
As a PHP programmers, we've gotten so used to people shitting on our language that we've internalized it and shit on it ourselves now. I don't like it but I'll lump it for the convenient std lib.
"Phabricator uses a lighthearted tone in documentation and some interfaces, and includes some features which primarily exist to add flavor or make things sillier.
We use this tone because we like building software like this, and the feedback we receive about it from users is overwhelmingly (and often effusively) positive."
