I get -a lot- of #php developers asking me how to get the Vonage elephpant, Alex.

For those who can make a trip to London for the evening: keep your eyes on my account 👀

I sent a text to my coworker who is running the Vonage booth at #phptek sating: I kinda wish I was there. Looks like everyone is having fun. But this is my current state of affairs. I’m having more fun with little dude

Is anyone, -anyone- surprised that tech challenger banks are wiping the floor with account signups? Because it's mad that in 2024 this is still the user experience.

Random question but hi @sebastian were you at PHPUK? For some reason I thought I saw you and didn't introduce myself (which probably benefits you tbh)

Tomorrow at 10am I am delivering what is now mostly known as "my most unhinged talk yet".

You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll get angry. You'll want to throw tomatoes at SOAP specs.

My choices for this afternoon.

ramsey, 5 months ago (edited 5 months ago) to php

I’m finally feeling better after my earlier low this week, & I’m beginning to accept that my next job probably won’t involve #PHP.

Before you tell me how good other languages or communities are, understand that I considered my interactions with the PHP community as a second, unpaid role, which I thoroughly enjoyed in an entrepreneurial sort of way. That’s why this is difficult for me.

I would love to find an employer who sees value in that side of me, but I don’t think that’s going to happen.

app.use(express.urlencoded({ extended: true }));

NOBODY, ANYWHERE tells you in the docs for an express app that this needs to happen BEFORE the routing imports (which are also a mess).

Node devs, this what you have to work with all the time, right?

Working on a @UseExpressJS @vuejs @typescript MVP and Workshop. Send prayers, #PHP people, I am about to swear at my machine.

Once again developers, I must regretably inform you that #php is again dead. So dead, in fact, that Laracon India just shifted 300 early bird tickets at 3000 rupees each in the space of ten minutes.

Most of the time, people don't know what I do. I tell most people I'm a #php software engineer, because I am. But I do something else, a weird niche job.

If you ever have a burst of imposter syndrome, please take note that I've recently seen code where to remove a background, a #python library was downloaded (no pip) into a #laravel app. It was called using shell_exec() with no escaping. Access via. a route. (unguarded)
