All good things must come to an end

I saw this post when doing some work related research, and couldn’t resist the temptation to link it here. Oh — and post the following image:

A lot of folks moved to PHP5 some time ago. My ISP made the big push (yes, it was after the stated 12/31/2007 EOL), without any problems that I could see. Of course careful planning helps. At the same time they upgraded to PHP5, they also rolled out upgrades for any PHP applications they supply to their customers.

Not that this is any comfort to the multitudes of web developers who still have a ton of legacy code to maintain. As usual it’s going to be a bear for them to get buy in for major rewrites — meaning that they’re basically doomed to continue forward “without a net”. No pun intended.
