It’s actually “lede” [1]

> A lede is the introductory section in journalism and thus to bury the lede refers to hiding the most important and relevant pieces of a story within other distracting information. The spelling of lede is allegedly so as to not confuse it with lead (/led/) which referred to the strip of metal that would separate lines of type. Both spellings, however, can be found in instances of the phrase.

As far as I can tell “lede” is entirely a relatively unpopular neologism being unnecessarily pushed, and the phrase spelled “bury the lead” outdates it by almost 100 years?

Lede is just lead spelled incorrectly with the same meaning.

"Bury the lead" shows up in books as part of "bury the lead cable."

weird that they don't support ruby when their site is written in it

Thank god no php. Not that it would be needed.

Why? How does vulnerability detection for PHP hurt you?

They stated in the comments here that they are actively working on it, and I would personally appreciate it in addition to the number of other static analysis tools I use.

actually, i'm very surprised that PHP isn't in the list seeing how WordPress account for 75%+ of the sites internet and the slew of plugins in its ecosystem.
