I have seen this type of comment here many times and I don't understand why
it keeps being repeated. The world is made up of many rocks and we're all

my-rock-is-the-only-rock-everyone-else-should-live-under type of comments.

Do you honestly think that everyone with a small/medium PHP project
(500k~1M LOC) out there has someone as competent as you capable of
achieving what you did? That is definitely a dream rock to live under.
