Today's lesson: Know your opponent
PHP bug #50696 seems fairly straightforward: some PHP internals were changed, which changed the way the number_format function works. The person who submitted the bug report raises some legitimate concern about this behavior change. What follows is a rather funny exchange between the original bug reporter and the PHP developer who took on the bug. In this case, it was Rasmus Lerdorf, the guy who invented PHP to begin with.
Oh how I wish I had someone to escalate to.
Hopefully you’ve had a better day than either of these two!
