Your priorities are upside down.

A chicken post is pure inside baseball, whatever that is. :)

Here's my own response to the same post [jeremycherfas.net] that seems to have triggered the podcast.

For what it is worth, I don't believe that any something is going to do the job of replacing FB or Twitter. I'm more interested in how people can avoid the worst of those silos, for example by disengaging from the data-sharing as much as possible, or silencing retweets, which apparently makes the Twitter experience more bearable.

If people want out, they'll find way. I mean, people squealing about how am I going to share things with my family seem to have forgotten things like email.

No, it isn't just a problem with language. It is the classic problem of two guys chewing the fat without a clear agenda and without taking into account that some listeners won't know the ideas, let alone the language. Also, the audio quality. But it can only improve.

Good to have your endorsement. And I reckon I need a good idea of why I should move to Laravel or similar in due course.

Nearly through Week 2 of the MOOC on Building Web Applications in PHP from University of Michigan and I am really enjoying it and, I think, improving my understanding. I wanted to shore up my foundations, and this course is doing just that.

Very true. Often a very low priority for me too.

Pretty sure those things can be adjusted …

Which The Guardian claims not to be.

Spot on.
