I write about PHP for the first time in years — background jobs, then passkeys in plain PHP — and three days later the internet invents PHP2Shell.

Patch first. Laugh second. The posts were about app design; the CVEs are in the engine. Different layer, same punchline: publish PHP, get RCE news as a comment.
