[00:38:04] Krinkle: I rebased https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/core/+/668224/ [00:42:16] AaronSchulz: LGTM. If we want to remove this BC soon, then now would be a good time to wfDeprecate() that branch with 1.36.

[19:09:33] It's a good story. [19:09:43] there's a bunch of good links going from there elsewhere as well [19:16:40] well, Wikipedia's auto-refreshing recent changes also runs on PHP, MariaDB and memcached :D [21:30:41] phedenskog: the slide deck version of the boring tech essay is at http://boringtechnology.club/. Dan actually presented it at a WMF event in ... 2017? The early essay version made the rounds here in 2015 on the now defunct engineering@lists.wikimedia.org
