The future of Codeigniter

David, although I like some of the stuff you post on your YouTube channel, you seem to ignore the fact that people have lives too. You can't just show up here and have demands towards the maintainers. If I remember, you decided one day to delete all your CI tutorial videos, do you feel accountable for that? Do you feel that you have done something wrong there? Did you feel that you were compelled to apologise for that. No, you did not. Because you felt you did not owe anything to anybody. Why coming here and making demands then?

Like other open source projects, there's no guarantee, you can use the software provided to you for free at your own risk and peril. That also means that if your business suffers loss because of a bug in the framework, you're the only one to blame for.

David, I don't see how you can contribute. You're a freelancer who have clearly decided that the industry standards are not suitable for you. You detest PSR standards, Unit Testing, Agile, docker and other practices adopted in the industry for years now. As a side note, I completely disagree with you there. You have no idea... But, you are entitled to your opinions and I respect you for following your heart. I don't see how you can contribute (code-wise) to the project. Clearly, coding standards there would betray your believes.

There is so much negativity in your posts and I am just surprised that the moderators have not... moderated your messages. Clearly, although there is no swearing there, you clearly attack contributors by calling them part-timers or hobbyists. Those people don't owe you anything. Also, I don't really like you patronising people from India or the Philippines in your first or second post here. What's next now, because CI hasn't been updated, people are dying? This is surreal.

Besides, if you know PHP, what stops you from fixing the bugs on your clients applications. CI is just code, it's not closed source, you can just go there and see why it's not compatible with PHP 7. You could go to the PHP manual for one and look at the migrating guide to PHP 7.

On another side note as pointed out by someone else, here or on your YT channel comments, it's just crazy that you feel you are accountable for the fact that your clients have now a newer version of PHP and the application is now broken.

Otherwise, peace and take it easy. Positiviy first.
