Last week I attended PHPTek 2024 in Chicago, this was my first time in a PHP Conference. It was such an extraordinary experience that I’m looking forward to make the flight from Quito, Ecuador to the US again next year for PHPTek 2025. #phptek#phptek24
Thank you very very much to the sponsors @compassioncode@packagist@zend@sensiolabs@Vonage@OSMHhelp@PubNub@vehikl@FusionAuth and @DevITjobs as they make this conferences possible!! See you again next year!!
Lesson for potential and current speakers — my talk today didn’t go over as well as I wanted. The audience had different expectations and feedback was helpful. This happens to every speaker at one time or another. #phptek#phptek24
I wanted to talk about approaching tools in general, audience wanted me to run through more interactive examples of NeoVim and PHP. Sometimes you take the L. #phptek#phptek24
Hey, #phptek / #phptek24 folks: Raffle drawing for the four small denim elephpants and 4 @zend hats is happening at 1:40pm - that's in 10 minutes! Head over and find out if you won!
One of the interesting things of being a long-time member of a programming community is that you can do a ton of work (in my case test-writing evangelism), then drop out of it, come back, and be welcomed with open arms (or maybe they are too scared of me to reject me) #phptek24#phptek
Reminder to folks at #phptek#phptek24 - the @zend booth is raffling off the small elephpants and hats at 1:40pm. If you haven't entered yet, stop by before then!
It’s good to see @ramsey share his personal discovery that when he was looking for a job nobody gave a shit about all the amazing OSS contributions he made. #phptek24#phptek
Thanks to everyone who came to my talk about CQRS — first iterations of talks can be rough but I hit all the stuff I wanted to talk about #phptek24#phptek
Packed! PHPConJapan x 4 and PHP8 x 2 🐘
I'll be in PHP[tek] this week. If you are interested in trading, please let me know😉 #elephpant#elephpants#phptek24#PHPTek2024
Just a reminder to folks that I will be at #phptek24 next week talking about CQRS and NeoVim and whatever other shenanigans I get up to. I also will be be bringing my #magicthegathering cube with me for 4 or 8 player drafting fun
I’ll be at #phptek24 in a few weeks giving a talk about CQRS (secretly a design patterns talk) and NeoVim for PHP Developers (secretly a talk about deeply learning tools)
It’s difficult to stay motivated on your own. It would be great to support each other from until Tek, then meetup and see the results in person at Tek.
Looks like I have a tutorial (Writing PHP Extensions) and a talk (Better Debugging with @Xdebug) accepted for php[tek] 23! (I hope they meant 2024 ;-) ).
