This is hilarious because he was the lead developer at Tumblr.

I saw Tumblrs 'original' code base and it's a giant cluster fuck that is full of horrible design decisions.

They are still in tons of technical debt because of it. So it's funny to see him give an insight on PHP. Kind of ironic.

Either way, Facebook’s HHVM is not for 99% of PHP developers. Most PHP developers need better cache coverage and proper SQL architecture and approach.

Execution speed is not a problem for most of them.
