Was just reading the tragic exploits on the 8vap site. Here's another "business" job for female candidates only. Is this for real?

Should WordPress developers be taken more seriously?

that was a sad/funny article. Not sure why someone who is a core contributor feel the need to justify his coding ability, but basically unless he spoke only about core contributors, it shows that he is not familiar with enough "implementors" which are the biggest driving force that brings wordpress to 25% of the market

it's denial :\

yes

I wrote a comment with reply, waiting in moderation

I decided i can spare the drama and didn't comment ;)

lol, he is the author of wordpress.org/plugins/wp-most-popular which uses ajax to track page views

not like there is a better way to do it in WP plugin...

if you don't use ajax but urls with some magic var (for simplicity) you can atleast bypass some of the initialization process and die in the plugin itself

a non cached img url for the plugin directory would have done better as it would have worked for users which disable JS

.... or he could just admit that WP standard development model just do not apply here and used a simple php script that is being accessed directly
