I just found out that NIC.IO (a common domain registar for .io domains) stores my password in plain text. Whoopee. I wonder how many startups use it.

Orchestra is building a impressive platform indeed (from a tech standpoint). But as a developer it's a black cloud day. Been hoping PHP to be fading away in favor for syntax-wise less sucky languages (there are many superior alternatives - not only the ones I work with if that is the assumption of the reader) that bloat apps out the web for the reason of cheap outsourcing. I love what EY has done through the years for open-source, though I cannot see this action as anything else than choice between money and principles. I hope EY will continue to support open-source software as they have and not forget where they came from - many do.

Congrats to Orchestra guys though, you seem to be talented.
