My last day working for my current client is tomorrow. I am looking for #php consulting / contracting work starting in January. Need the community’s most shouty person about testing your code and getting biz value delivered faster? Hit me up and let’s talk.
I missed it, but on August 13th, phpc.social had its 5th birthday on the Fediverse!
Yes, we’ve been running this server for 5 years, and we’re still growing!
Here’s to all the folks who have joined us along the way. We’re so glad to provide a home for you on the Fediverse and to have you as part of our community.
@SenseException I blame popular libraries and frameworks that are still array-based. (#Laravel and AWS-SDK at the top of that list. #Drupal, less than it used to be but still.) And people who cut their teeth on CodeIgnighter et al and never grew past that.
Ryan is the most welcoming, supportive, passionate and dedicated person I know in the community. I'm 100% sure he has supported every person in Symfony through his work.
Please give back some support to Ryan, Leanna and Beckett and show the warmth of the PHP family! https://gofund.me/f8e28d5f

Yesterday @jrf_nl gives a great talk about PHP_CodeSniffer ( @phpcs ) at #010php
She told us the importance of funding opensource projects and there is is not enough spoken about this. It was a critical warning that there are just a few people in the community where the hole #PHP community is depending on.
So lets talk more about how to support these great opensource projects.
Don't learn #php, they say. It's a dead language, they say. There are no jobs, they add. Learn #javascript instead. It's much better. Jobs are plentiful.
I don't know if it's because of this or some other reason, but we have had great success with finding PHP developers and have had an awful time trying to find JS developers. Not that we don't get applicants, but when you get to the interviews, it's like ... not good.
Hello friends — just a reminder I am looking for consulting/ contracting work with #PHP where I help you to deliver biz value faster through focusing on improving testing and coding practices
This survey helps paint a picture of the PHP ecosystem, particularly how it pertains to how and where organizations deploy PHP applications, and the challenges they face in doing so. Each year, Zend donates to orgs that promote diversity in software dev, based on how many survey results we get.
@askonomm We focus on secure PHP runtimes, including LTS versions, and the various pieces of the ecosystem surrounding that (cloud orchestration, container orchestration, etc.).
@ramsey as someone who’s not a fan of the massive overuse and of final everywhere, I think you actually have a very valid use case here. It is getting very frustrating that final is used on everything.
And, yes, I’m an advocate of composition over inheritance in most cases. Even so, I’ve run into situations where a simple, quick extension of a class that is almost perfect would be just fine and call it a day. But, it was declared final so that can’t be done.
Kbin is a federated reddit alternative written in PHP ( #symfony framework). It is an early stage of development yet undergoing explosive growth lately.
