This looks suspiciously similar to azjezz/psl, just with a different API. It even has the same name: PHP Standard Library.

The PHP community would be better if devs worked together instead of copying and re-branding someone else's work. Credit to azjezz for the original PSL.

@afilina Laravel steals IP and brands it as its own. They think building on the shoulders of giants and then claiming to be geniuses is the way to success.

@sarah @afilina The Laravel marketshare and profit margins suggest they're right.

But ethical behavior and success have never been correlated.

Don't worry @afilina, the Laravel community approves, therefore they are kinda the same.

I sometimes feel sad and guilty because I have a huge sense of ethics and it doesn't really bring me success.

And at the same time, if I ever did something like what this guy does, I would probably hate myself.

@pierstoval @Crell @sarah @afilina the sad part is that github stars will be flowing like a river, downloads and adoption as well.
In two years no one will remember the original library
