Nous sommes à l'#AFUPDay Lille mais nous participons également à l'édition lyonnaise ! Près de 270 personnes sont présentes aujourd'hui à la CPE Lyon, à l'occasion de ce rassemblement d'expert·es #PHP. Bravo et merci @afup pour l'orga !
I like the idea, but has anybody performance tested this? What happens when you're dealing with thousands of rows of data that pass every item along as class instants vs primitive types?
This week’s The Payload newsletter is out. It has the latest news and more in the Symfony, Drupal, PHP, Cybersec, and Fediverse development communities.
I have a FREE book on object-oriented programming available for you to download and enjoy. It's my way of giving back to the #php community. Check it out: https://masteringobjectorientedphp.com
Couple weeks ago speaking with @ocramius about Annotated Container. He brought up something about Attributes I had heard a few times before. Something along the lines of:
"I don't want container wiring code littered throughout my codebase."
So, I wrote a blog article that talks about how Attributes aren't really the point of Annotated Container and how you can use the library with no Attributes or highly limit their spread through your code.
Have you ever stood up, from scratch, a completely new version of your application in a production-ready state?
If you haven't, you should.
You may never need to fully stand up a complete production instance, but what happens if a part goes down like your database, your webservers, or your jobs? Are you prepared for emergencies?

One thing that’s funny about #ai and #programming is I keep hearing the same thing. “Oh I use it for generic snippets, just common tasks and functions”.
The amusing thing about that is when I first started working with a #php app years ago there was already a solution to that problem. It was called “the PHP Cookbook” published by O’Reilly. I was told “oh we buy you a PDF copy and you just search for whatever you are trying to do and use that code. It saves a ton of time for junior programmers.”
Not only was it true, it did save me a ton of time and headaches, but we didn’t need to steal anything. The authors got paid, it worked offline, it didn’t require scraping the entirety of human knowledge to write or nuclear power plants worth of energy to distribute.
It also helped me learn. Since I would have a solid foundation to the solution, I felt more confident experimenting. I always had a known-functioning standard library solution as my base. So when something broke I knew where to start debugging.
Just an incredible thought that instead of paying $20 for a pdf once we decided this was the way to go.
