@auroraeosrose That's what I say to newcomers all the time. They are the best group to contribute to docs.
Also most often contributing to docs is the easiest contribution.
#phptek The way to get into open source is to show up. Mailing lists, github, discord and slack. Ask questions, read. But first you have to just show up.
@auroraeosrose@ramsey Yes, it is easier for me as a maintainer to just merge a typo fix or a small improvement, than to actually go fix the typo myself is someone opens an issue about it.
@auroraeosrose@ramsey OK. Perhaps the gateway drug was having a problem and searching frantically for a solution until one dared to ask in one of those obscure internet channels .... AND THEN GETTING ANSWERS THAT ACTUALLY WORKED
#phptek PHP upgrades are easier with tests, ci-cd, static analysis and orchestration. Up front investment always sucks but it pays off so much. Our last PHP upgrade took less than an hour.
The best way I've heard AI(llm) assistance with coding is it's moving the work to code review instead of code generation. Considering how bad most people are at code review... this will not end well.
Last minute decided to go to #phptek this year. Trying to decide if I want to make the drive tonight or tomorrow morning... have to find a hotel for the night if I decide on the late drive.
