Does #oss need saving?
What are we saving it from?
What are we saving it for?

It’s good to see @ramsey share his personal discovery that when he was looking for a job nobody gave a shit about all the amazing OSS contributions he made. #phptek24 #phptek

Opening keynote for today at #phptek is @ramsey tilting at the "Saving Open Source" windmill

Use Value Objects rather than massive $options arrays when exposing an interface for configuring requests made by your SDK, because you want to make your SDK code as self-documenting as possible. - @SecondeJ #phptek

Put business logic in your SDK. Don't just wrap curl. And have very clear and in-depth testing because those tests document what the API is supposed to do. - @SecondeJ #phptek

When you quote an older source (in a positive light), and that source uses the sexist language of its era, do you do anything about that, or do you just quote it literally?

Here's a literal quote:

"The expert must find his place within the social process; he can never be made a substitute for it. Technical experience must be made a part of all the available experience."

Would you maybe bracket "his" and "he" and replace them w/non-gendered language?

Now in @tjlytle's #phptek talk about https://github.com/PhoneBurnerOpenSource/api-handler.

Last hour I streamed @michelle's sustainable dev presentation from the hotel room.

Time to talk about AI/ML/LLMs with @tjmiller at #phptek

ian, 1 month ago to random

LLM download update: the download worked (Mixtral Instruct for those following along)...and it doesn't do what I'm asking, though the larger model (hosted on Groq) mostly gets it right. sigh

ian, 1 month ago to random

Don't mind me, just downloading an LLM over 5G at ~100 MB/s, becuase the ones I have locally are horrible at actually following instructions and I don't want to use someone else's chat service.

Track your data as you grow to make sure the assumptions you made early on...and the access you granted...still hold. - @Stoker #phptek

This morning's #phptek keynote is Une Habiba, talking about finding your perfect place in tech.

Today Joind.in's API went from PHP 7.3 (...yep) to 8.2, and then 8.3, and the codebase now passes @phpstan on max settings. So, while it's still a codebase that has been around since 2013, it's a bit cleaner and more modern.

Next up: doing the same thing for https://github.com/joindin/joindin-web2.

If you want to help, hop into Slack at https://join.slack.com/t/joindin/shared_invite/zt-2hfq2qoxe-RAcBiwk9imrgfJOWzQRfbQ and I'll see how I can slot you in :)

Vendoring isn't the solution to dependency security - @naderman #phptek

Pluses and minuses from a security perspective for @packagist from @naderman himself at #phptek

Speaking of cutovers, planning on merging the PHP 8.2 upgrade PR for Joind.in's API over lunch today. That PR also includes a lot of type enforcement that wasn't there before, so I expect stuff to break. Plan is to have things fixed by the time folks want to throw #phptek feedback in for the last session of the day.

Want to help triage/clean up? Find me at the conference, or hop in Slack at https://join.slack.com/t/joindin/shared_invite/zt-2hfq2qoxe-RAcBiwk9imrgfJOWzQRfbQ.
