I'll be presenting at @longhorn in two months! It'll be my first speaking engagement in two years, and my (long-overdue) first visit to the conference. Tickets remain on discount until the end of the week if you'd like to join us. Looking forward to meeting even more of the #PHP community! […]

We're also excited to have Gunnard Engebreth presenting "AI-Powered PHP Development in Practice": A hands-on workshop walking through the full AI-assisted development loop, with a real PHP project, including catching AI hallucinations before they ship. longhornphp.com

I’m really honored to be among the speakers selected to speak at this year’s @longhorn PHP Conference. I hope you’ll join me there! https://longhornphp.com #PHP #LonghornPHP

Enthusiasm for contributing to #PHP often fizzles out before it has a chance to catch fire. I've proposed a Working Groups RFC to change that. Here's the case for it and how you can help shape it. https://ben.ramsey.dev/blog/2026/07/who-do-i-talk-to

Who Do I Talk To?

PHP loses eager volunteers because there's no clear place for them to plug in. The Working Groups RFC proposes a framework to change that by empowering contributors, not adding bureaucracy.

It's time to talk about the future. If you're not a #php developer, why not have a brief history lesson, then look at the recent innovations that the entire community has created? @thephpf.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=fc9b...
