NYCPHP Meetup

[Helvécio da Silva]

I'm referring to 3rd party extension overrides. Here and there I noticed
it's harder to find quickly where and how to change things.

As Stephen mentioned, extensions have become more code heavy.

I must say I'm not a programmer, but I feel it's taking longer for me to
figure out how to make an override than it was in 1.5.
