@michaelcullumuk “But it was my first experience with phpBB as
a forum software, and so too easily I formed the opinion that phpBB was easy to inject exploits into. So then subsequently whenever I needed forum software, I shyed away from it. I didn't want my reputation and my clients' sites to be easily compromised.”

@michaelcullumuk “Tonight's talk made me realise that having that preformed
opinion and idea about how phpBB performed in the wild, from 12 years ago, was indicative of how closed my mind could be to certain topics. I'd liken it to the same way I felt about Ruby, based on “hipsters” and the plethora of “ninja rockstar guru” developer positions”

@michaelcullumuk “Tonight I realised I still held the "insecure and
outdated" opinion of phpBB, despite not having touched it since back then - and that saddened me, that I hadn't taken time to be more aware of where it was at.”

@michaelcullumuk “After my Ruby experience a couple of years ago,
I resolved to be more open- minded about topics on which I had little experience. Michael's talk this evening made me resolve to do that more.”
