Ryan is one of my favorite persons in the #PHP community. I cannot imagine what he and his family must be going through. They face expensive medical bills and more ahead. If you can help financially, please do so.
I'm a big proponent of doing fewer if statements and early returns! Doing stuff in your if statements only increases cognitive load when trying to read the code.
public function sendActivationEmail($user) {
if (! $user->isActivated) {
// Send out activation email
}
}
versus.
public function sendActivationEmail($user) {
if ($user->isActivated) {
return;
}
and once you've dedicated yourself to the religion of nesting only when necessary, there really are some good techniques you discover out of pure stubbornness!
@shadowhand About 10+ years ago, when Erlang got popular with the hipster coders, I would do tutorials in Erlang and be like, “Oh! I get this. It’s cool!” But then I could never actually write anything in it on my own. 🤣
@ramsey that’s basically my experience with it too. The Erlang syntax has such beautiful choices when it comes to symbols, leading to almost poetic brevity. But I have only ever admired as a reader, never a writer.
I am seeking speakers for my @phpugffm & @phpugmrn meetups. We prefer in-person presentations in Frankfurt or the Mannheim area, but remote talks are also an option. If you have anything interesting to share with us, let us know. We'd be more than happy to have you! Thx! #php#phpc#phpugffm#phpugmrn
Oh! I forgot to say. https://caniphp.com/ has an “API” now. It’s just a static JSON version of the data. There’s no parameters of filters. But it might be useful if you want to build anything on top of the data.
On Mastodon (and maybe other Fediverse services), it’s common for folks to follow hashtags, so if you’re posting about PHP-related things, use the hashtag and you’ll reach a wider audience.
Reminder that I am looking for a new consulting/contracting job starting in January. Looking for gigs where I help with a legacy #PHP app to help maintain and grow it while improving your testing practicds and mentor more junior members #FediHire

Take two minutes to answer the «
2024 PHP Landscape Survey » by @zend
For every response to this survey, they will donate $1 to Code2040, a non-profit that works to dismantle the structural barriers that prevent the full participation and leadership of Black and Latinx people in the innovation economy.
@dgoosens@zend@mwop@phpc Well, that was a waste of my time, got halfway or so and then couldn't continue as all questions are required and the questions no longer apply to my situation and don't offer a "N/A" option....
Ich kann #Webenwicklung, insbesondere mit #PHP, aber auch #DevOps und #Tooling im Hintergrund (Wie Python, Bash und diverse anderen Programmier-/Scripting Sprachen) und drum-herum, natürlich auch #Kubernetes und generell Containerisierung.
Bisher habe ich Erfahrung sowohl im Neu-Entwickeln als auch der Pflege und Refactoring/Rebuilding von alten Apps.
Ich suche am liebsten eine Remote Stelle, gerne aber auch in der Umgebung von #Frankfurt
