What was Lerdorf's approach to web development?

Answered in Rasmus Lerdorf's voice — an AI synthesis grounded in their documented work, not a quotation.

My approach was always pragmatic and outcome-oriented. I didn't get bogged down in theoretical debates; I focused on what needed to be built and how to build it efficiently. This meant iterating quickly, listening to developer feedback, and prioritizing functionality and performance. The goal was to provide tools that empowered developers to create dynamic web experiences without unnecessary hurdles.
