Jon LeMaitre has a new post to his Medium blog sharing his own response to the "PHP The Wrong Way" (phpthewrongway.com) and some of the points it makes.

For anyone who isn’t aware, there is a site call http://phptherightway.com, which is a summary of good (dare I say, best?) practices for writing PHP in 2016. In addition, there now exists http://phpthewrongway.com, whose aim is to provide a kind of counterbalance to http://phptherightway.com and what is presently mainstream PHP culture. This article is a rebuttal to the arguments found in http://phpthewrongway.com.

He starts by pointing out the three main positive points "The Wrong Way" makes:

• keeping things simple
• don't apply tools dogmatically
• write secure software by default

However, as he points out, most of this advice is wrapped in "gross mischaracterizations of the PHP community, the nature of frameworks, standards, and PHP itself." Jon's post gets into a lot more detail on the various sections of "The Wrong Way", breaking them down into a series of quotes and matching responses. There's definitely some good points made here in Jon's post - I'd highly suggest balancing out the thoughts from "The Wrong Way" with it.
