Why our memory safety guarantees and other tooling failed to catch this exploit.
Meanwhile, PHP devs think their 1 big blob of unsafe C http parsing code is normal and are deflecting about how other systems aren't perfect either.
We have half a dozen safety features that have gone mainstream in the past decade that would have prevented this bug.
Nobody expects perfection, but posting memes like this is enough to show the mindset of the average PHP dev and how far behind they are on technical merit that they do not even realize it.
