Yep, PHP is turning 30 this year! Wondering if “PHP is still relevant?” Ever since we have been hearing that PHP is dead. It was “dead” 10 years ago, 5 years ago, and “is dead” today. But somehow - it isn’t. Anyway… happy birthday!

          The belief that exercising one’s code is good? I am certainly all in favor of testing, to be sure!

          (Sorry, I have been having some playful fun at your expense: the actual word you have been reaching for is excise, e.g., “If only I had exercised more, then I would not have developed a tumor requiring excision!”)
