Try to give it some, get mod bombed. So it goes.

being LAMP stack doesn't make software bad or otherwise more likely to fail commercially. The whole web (excluding some older perl/cgi-bin stuff) was built on it before Rails became popular.

To clarify: this applies not just to phabricator-dot-com, but Phabricator the software: https://github.com/phacility/phabricator/commit/9ceb66453501... This is unexpected. Many companies, among them as well-resourced as Facebook, use Phabricator. I wonder if it will be forked soon by some party interested in keeping it around. OTOH it looks like none such party exists, because the public sources have not been updated…

FB's phabricator went its own way long ago. I imagine this has exactly zero impact on their day to day. Put it this way: the last time I saw it, they still had the "clowncopterize" button. Try finding that anywhere else.

I've always enjoyed the Phabricator landing page, because it looks like a joke. > Pre-Commit Code Review > Review others' code with Differential, because they can't be trusted. > Shows code so you can look at it. > Leave helpful comments and anecdotes. > Challenge the intern's test plan. > Gently place bad code back in the author's queue.
