@fabien.potencier.org Salut, as-tu une option de sponsoring qui n'est pas GitHub?

Happy Moskva sinking anniversary to those who celebrate!

Honestly, all this LLM hype is making me not want to speak at any conferences. When a third of all content is LLM garbage, it makes me question my sanity and lose hope in humanity. That's the inverse of what I hope to get in exchange for donating my time.

You can now support this site via OpenCollective: opencollective.com/phpcommunity... The same project now supports both phpc.social and phpc.tv

I set up another recurring donation to open source: support.joinpeertube.org/en/ You should too. It's what powers phpc.tv

Support PeerTube

Free software to take back control of your videos

Day 1 patch notes: - We're now federating! You can follow accounts and channels from Mastodon and other Fediverse platforms. Example search: channel@phpc.tv - Registrations are open! Users will need to wait for approval. We temporarily set a count limit, but if all goes smoothly, we'll lift it.

I did a thing.

We're excited to introduce phpc.tv, a community-run video platform by PHP developers, for PHP developers. No ads, no algorithmic feed manipulation, no "see less often". It's also entirely non-profit and community-focused.

@afilina.bsky.social Thanks a ton for sponsoring me on GitHub! It is so much appreciated, especially given I know how much you’re already giving to help Ukraine protect itself and Europe 💛 Count on me to transform your support into the best #OSS contributions I can! Merry Christmas 🥂

I'm working on a new PHP workshop. I'm laughing because in 5 minutes, I was able to create an include and nomenclature mess (on purpose) that would make everyone's head hurt. It's not even as bad as what I see in the wild. In case you can make it to Montreal in February: confoo.ca/en/2026/sess...

We teach about the dangers of too much indirection in code, but when it comes to infrastructure, those lessons seem to be disregarded. If you struggle when reasoning about your infrastructure, it can take your top engineers a day or more to fully resolve a production outage.

In light of the PSF's recent loss of an NSF grant and attendant funding shortfall, I will be matching donations up to $5000. Send me your receipts. Very happy if you've already donated for similar reasons but the point is to motivate *new* donations so be sure the timestamp is after this toot 😉.

While preparing my talk for SymfonyCon about framework upgrades, I did a deeper research into the history of backward compatibility management. Now I appreciate the effort that the @symfony.com team put into ensuring smooth transitions even more. It's really S tier in my opinion.

In this podcast with fwdays, we talked about mentorship, open source, legacy code, and a few other topics. Check it out! youtube.com/watch?v=poquW_vYxUs

Ah yes, the Online Safety Act. Like SovietWomble said: "we're just going to disconnect the internet and float off into the Atlantic". It was a random joke 6 years ago. Now it's slowly becoming a reality.

There we go. 40 years old. I don't feel any different.

This talk is a terrifying dive into how corporate enshittification ("we need an audit trail" anybody?) and the Peter principle are everywhere, punching security holes through the highest levels of a government. https://youtu.be/KFYyfrTIPQY

Just a friendly reminder that the correct pronunciation of "The Linux Foundation" is "The Collective Interests of Big Tech" re: https://mastodon.social/@bagder/115010725723159394

What's a good solution for a fediverse-driven blog comment section? I'm thinking disqus, but fedi-driven 🤔

The is no such thing as software that should only last a few years. That was a harmful myth from the start. There's a prototype, and there's software you plan to use, maintain and expand.

Don't buy Logitech mice. To please shareholders, they enshittified and switched to ultra-cheap components that break after a few months, causing the device to incorrectly double-click. Enough to drive you mad and ruin your work/gameplay. >>

I had to turn off all capitalization-related autocorrect in Word. It's just incompatible with technical documents. reCAPTCHA is not an accidental caps lock. GChart is not a typo.

Going through a list of PHP dependencies of a legacy project and routinely marking libs as "abandoned in 2008." You know you're doing legacy archaeology when you download zip copies of code via the wayback machine.
