The important part is that yelling "fire" is fine if the entire theatre laughs it off.
"Bins were set alight and pushed against fire exits"
You can yell fire in a crowded theatre. Just hope you don't cause a panic or you'll be in trouble.
I would say it was more like the bicycle. Cheap, no license, even a kid could be suddenly zooming around town with no ceremony, no red tape, minimal investment.
I haven't used it in well over a decade, but still remember fondly how great it was as a gateway drug to bigger and better things.
It just moved the work somewhere else, generally an Apache config on a shared host. The user could very often just dump some PHP files in place and they'd be served up, but if you had to set up a new host then it was as fiddly as anything else.
This pattern also meant dropping everything the docroot, using .htaccess to hide things, having different behaviour depending on the global php.ini. All architectures had to be mashed into a request/response cycle (and anything more complex was no longer just drop the files in). It was a very long way from the idea of reproducable builds.
I agree it was popular, but not really for the right reasons.
Trans women are also "our daughters" just as much as cis women (endosex or intersex) are. Caring more about cis daughters' wellbeing than trans daughters' is pretty cissexist!

Genuine question. I'm trying to find a difference, but not succeeding.
it seems exceptionally well-suited to AI-based automation because software engineering has already needed to figure out how to efficiently cope with humans who sometimes produce code which may have defects. most obviously automated testing and type systems. also a lot of programming tasks have verifiable solutions so it's also better for training. it seems natural that the most obviously successful AI tools are for coding.
yet the software industry has also been absorbing waves of automation for 70 years. Fortran and COBOL were referred to as "automated programming" and there was a narrative that these new tools would make it easy for non-specialists to program. this time may be different, or it may just be another wave of automation.
i think software has pretty unique properties among white collar jobs, and I would hesitate to draw conclusions about other industries based on AI progress in software engineering.
I also don't really care if my job is automated. If it doesn't need doing anymore, why should I want to do it? I will do something else.
Though moral luck is certainly a thing in general, where negligence and risk-taking is not a crime until it goes wrong.
Anything else a genuinely slippery slope.
