I've made the conscious decision to work as a freelance developer in the WordPress market, although I personally cannot agree with most of the design & code decisions that are made in that space.

In this talk, I want to highlight the main discrepancies between WordPress PHP and non-WordPress PHP, and explain why I keep my inner Don Quichotte motivated to work on improving this situation and help turn WordPress into a better PHP citizen.

Who knows, maybe I can make an argument for bridging this gap and convince parts of the audience to support this effort?
