More love from Shopify

Turns out, apart from t-shirts, open source also pays stickers. The hand-written card is a nice personal touch. It's the little things like this, that go a long way in building a community. Good show Edward my man. Keep it up.

Open-source pays t-shirts

Shopify sent me some swag for creating shopify.php, the open source lightweight PHP client for the Shopify API that I built to scratch my own itch. It replaced Shopify's own PHP adapter and is now the officially recommended PHP adapter to use for the Shopify API.

Good ideas are hard; Implementation is easy!

All closed systems of any significant value will be reverse engineered eventually

While writing that tweet, I remembered a conversation I had with @rasmus a long time ago at foss.in where he said he prefered a BSD license for PHP over GPL, because they could easily replicate any significant proprietary/closed changes that businesses might make.

That's when it struck me: Any idea that becomes significant, can easily be implemented. It's coming up with a good idea in the first place that's hard.
