You're welcome. Much of the speed bump in 7 came from reworking internal memory usage and allocation. A pointer for an array entry used to be 128 bytes - each array entry had a 128 byte overhead. It was reworked and refactored down

Potentially, some, yes. However, when goals have already been decided, and 'missing' those goals is a 'bad thing', there's only so much you can do. We'd gone from collaborative to 'command and control&#x

7 brought a huge speed boost. (typically 100% or more without any code change required). Not specific to 7, but 2 things I think have helped a lot are: * PSR standards * composer packaging Initial PSR work helped define some package interop

FWIW, I'm in your camp mostly too. That expert may not know what to do either, or... will contradict earlier folks and say "you need to redo all of this pile..." and you'll be stuck. I've no doubt there are some wor

Yet another pitfall: Changing the system clock on runners can throw off billing and calculation of used minutes. Colleague of mine told me about that one last year.

Having almost any alcohol will give me great heartburn in the middle of the night. I can't say quite when it started, but certainly by late 30s I noticed it, and by 40s... it became a thing to avoid.
