If you voted against the Interface Default Methods RFC for #PHP, please take a moment to read some of the most recent mailing list replies, starting with @Crell’s here: https://externals.io/message/120725#120798
I agree this feature goes against a lot of what I’ve learned as “best practices,” but I did a lot of introspection on this and decided that this feature is good for the future of the PHP language. It unlocks a lot of potential.
I may have found an alternative solution to my blog's commenting system! 😺
The synchronization of comments from my Mastodon account. It's something I tried and abandoned, but I'm giving it another try after reading your comments. Well, I explain more on the blog and also share the source code:
🇬🇧 I have tried PHP. I find this programming language more embedding in html. They completely get so much. I can code in live html. 🤯
Hence my question, why continue to code in JavaScript if php can do the same things?🔴😅⚠️
🇨🇵 J'ai essayé PHP. Je trouve ce langage de programmation plus incorporant dans le html. Ils se complètement tellement. Je peux coder dans le html en direct. 🤯
D'où ma question, pourquoi continuer à coder en JavaScript si php peut faire les même choses ?🔴😅⚠️
🆕 blog! “eInk Display for Octopus's Agile Energy Tariff”
I'm a little bit obsessed with building eInk displays. They're pretty cheap second hand. They're low energy, passive displays, with good-enough performance for occasional updates. Here's a new one which shows me what the current cost of my electricity is: Background After installing solar panels, a …
Scary thought... Did you know that a large number of #php infrastructure projects are maintained by 1 single person, some 2 or 3... But the original maintainer has been doing that for more than 20 years+ what would happen if they step down?!
They will retire at some point... Who will take over? Shouldn't we invest in the future and start education on how to maintain a opensource project with millions of users?
When you receive my replies to the #PHP internals mailing list, do they look empty to you? I just noticed that my messages on both news.php.net and externals.io appear empty.
A friend was telling me about guidelines for developing and deploying new services in their company, and one of the guidelines is “new services must not use #PHP.”
I’m not making this up, and this isn’t hyperbole. They actually have this listed on their company documentation.
From my PoV (person that reads internals, follows/votes on RFCs, etc.), there are almost zero feature additions that make newer PHP versions interesting.
Hey all, I want to know how you all deal with management and pushing tech debt work. Here's a little bit of background on my current situation, and I'd love to hear how you'd deal with it....

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.
Do people want to know something particular about #php?
Be that internals, documentation, whatever insanity or pet peeve that goes through my mind (although that feels more like a regular podcast segment).
But I frankly wonder why I bother trying to improve the semantics of #PHP when it seems people don't give a fuck and just want crap not actually implemented in any sensible way, just so they can feel like they are working with a "real" programming.
It honestly tilts me that people want to make the language more inconsistent and shit just for some minor DX that one could achieve by building tooling in PHP.
The more I'm thinking about it, the more I consider it.
I want to add a map for my bicycle rides, but I can't find any good PHP maps. The PHP versions of Leaflet on GitHub are no good. They don't work at all. They just gives you errors like "can't load class" or something like that.
So even if I am against it only to challenge myself, I consider using Leaflet in JS for airikr.me/biking.
Or do you have any solution in PHP that works out of the box?
How do you deal with management and tech debt?
Hey all, I want to know how you all deal with management and pushing tech debt work. Here's a little bit of background on my current situation, and I'd love to hear how you'd deal with it....
