That's not what it does. `php --version` may well not report the php version that's actually running.

Not very shocking that OpenAI wants you to use tokens

OpenAI: Create a new vulnerability exploit, promote it as if it's the end of the world, also conveniently place itself in the pipeline to "remediate" the very problem they created.

lol, I went to the repo expecting to see some more detailed skill, that has instructions on checking various things/PHP install locations/things that could be using PHP that need to be checked, webservers, docker containers, etc/instructions for checking various php deployment methods on cloud providers/etc... i.e. making the skill useful so that it can check lots of places.

Nope, it just says to run php -V and has a table of vulnerable vs non-vulnerable versions.

Sigh

I think Anthropic and OpenAI are seeking rent on every action a developer can take. That's why their TAM is the worlds entire GDP

Well tbh, I know people who graduated 3 years go, got a job, worked and even got promoted as SWE who dont know the basic commands of an OS. I recently had an EE with a senior position admit to me they dont know how to use grep because they've been relying on llms since they got out of school.

Lots of the tech world, especially the younger side is completely reliant on these things for every little thing. Im not exaggerating either.

Wait, someone who graduated since LLM-pocalypse has a senior title?
reply
Lots of places where Senior just means 3+ YOE and anything more than that has even fancier titles like "Staff" or "Principal".

I see. Yeah it basically means ~7 YoE at my shop. Was 5, but we started delaying the promotion when we started belt-tightening in 23.

FWIW I'm at a Visual Studio shop and grep competency is pretty rare across the board.

There are lots of people who have underwent a lobotomy since discovering slop machines and have delegated literally all their work to them, so much so that calling `php --version` is too much for them.

People stuck working at companies with slop machine usage mandates will appreciate that skill too.
