Did you know? PHP Was Created Because of a Resume! Rasmus Lerdorf built PHP in 1994 to track visitors to his online resume. Talk about a side project gone wild!

@_devHelen You too, Helen🙂

I lost my grandma on Sunday 💔, funeral is today. So I've been off socials and off my game this week. It was a time to reflect on how much of her lives on in me. I know I got my love for writing from her. Hopefully next week will normalize again.
