“Haha lol banks use 60 year old programming languages!”
Yes, young whippersnapper, that’s because they need things to be reliable and not change all the time, the code probably has to run for another 60 years.
“Modern” devs could learn a lot from not trying chase every trendy new framework and every shiny new programming language.
@thomasfuchs@nattiegoogie Sheesh, people love to rag on #Javascript so much and turn a wilful blind eye towards all the effort put to improve the language.
Wouldn't you agree that ES6 is nothing like the JS of yesteryear, just as #php 8 is nothing like the php 5.4 shit I had to write when I first entered the industry?
As a consequence of using a single monitor setup, I'm generally trying to have my code lines as narrow as possible, so I can avoid as much as I can doing horizontal scrolling. Luckily #PHP formatters are pretty OK with having, say, one array item or function parameter per line, the splitting options are very liberal and IMO it keeps being pretty legible. I just hope this is considered "good" (or "acceptable" at least) practice. :D
Bathing in the #Stripe docs these days and they have just an avalanche of low-level information & #API docs but what I really need is a high-level "these are the general steps you'll take" which then lead into those detail pages.

Tried out a bit of #Pest today. A bit weird to write that less but get so much. I think I have to get used to this. But I see me writing more tests with Pest. Looking forward to work more with it!
#Psalm was all, like, “I found some MissingParamType issues. I’ll be happy to fix the types for you.” So, I ran it with --alter, and it proceeded to change mixed parameter types (that conform to an interface) to stringd.
That’s not my typo; there is a “d” on that end of that type name.
We just extended the nomination deadline for this round of elections to June 10th. Do you want to be more involved in the #PHP community and help us pushing new interoperability standards?
This is your occasion!!
It’s some kind of identifier that AT Protocol appears to use, but I can’t find a definitive resource on what it is or how it’s defined, and it appears to be related somehow to cryptocurrency (maybe?).
To make matters worse, there doesn’t appear to be any #PHP libraries that will parse or create CIDs.
