Released: PHP_CodeSniffer 3.10.1 🎉

This release contains a hotfix for a bug in the DNF syntax support layer, which could get confused over named parameters.

It also fixes a longer-standing bug which was plaguing match expressions containing nested arrays/closures or other nested structures.

Things should now be shiny again.

I’ve been in this business, writing software professionally, since I started my first software business at 16 in high school an an Apple ][. That’s 45 fucking years. It would never occur to me to steal other people’s code, let alone their likenesses, voices, or art.

Just eject these thieving “AI” companies into the sun. These people, and the VCs that fund them, are a cancer on the software industry.

Things I teach my kids:

• “No” is a complete sentence.
• If you’re not having a good time you can leave.
• Never make yourself smaller just to make other people more comfortable.
• It’s okay not to be okay.
• Don’t take criticism from someone you wouldn’t take advice from.
• Other people’s opinions of you are none of your business.
• Speak as kindly to yourself as you would speak to others.
• Be your own greatest cheerleader, always.

It’s never too late to learn these things.

PHPStan 1.11 With Error Identifiers, PHPStan Pro Reboot and Much More https://phpstan.org/blog/phpstan-1-11-errors-identifiers-phpstan-pro-reboot

KathyReid, 19 days ago to stackoverflow

Like many other technologists, I gave my time and expertise for free to #StackOverflow because the content was licensed CC-BY-SA - meaning that it was a public good. It brought me joy to help people figure out why their #ASR code wasn't working, or assist with a #CUDA bug.

Now that a deal has been struck with #OpenAI to scrape all the questions and answers in Stack Overflow, to train #GenerativeAI models, like #LLMs, without attribution to authors (as required under the CC-BY-SA license under which Stack Overflow content is licensed), to be sold back to us (the SA clause requires derivative works to be shared under the same license), I have issued a Data Deletion request to Stack Overflow to disassociate my username from my Stack Overflow username, and am closing my account, just like I did with Reddit, Inc.

https://policies.stackoverflow.co/data-request/

The data I helped create is going to be bundled in an #LLM and sold back to me.

In a single move, Stack Overflow has alienated its community - which is also its main source of competitive advantage, in exchange for token lucre.

Stack Exchange, Stack Overflow's former instantiation, used to fulfill a psychological contract - help others out when you can, for the expectation that others may in turn assist you in the future. Now it's not an exchange, it's #enshittification.

Programmers now join artists and copywriters, whose works have been snaffled up to create #GenAI solutions.

The silver lining I see is that once OpenAI creates LLMs that generate code - like Microsoft has done with Copilot on GitHub - where will they go to get help with the bugs that the generative AI models introduce, particularly, given the recent GitClear report, of the "downward pressure on code quality" caused by these tools?

While this is just one more example of #enshittification, it's also a salient lesson for #DevRel folks - if your community is your source of advantage, don't upset them.

#php friends — today I found out that long-time Symfony community member Ryan Weaver has been diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. A GoFundme has been setup to help provide financial support for him and his family and to extend his time remaining via treatment.

Ryan and his wife Leanna are two of the nicest people I ever encountered in the PHP community.

Donate if you can.

Als er één filmpje is dat je vandaag kijkt, dat je deze week kijkt, dit jaar kijkt. Kijk dit. Toon het je kinderen, als ze hun schouders ophalen, toon het nog een keer. Totdat ze begrijpen dat ze al betoverd ZIJN door big tech. En waarom dat HEEL erg is.

Closed source software doesn’t have backdoors.

It does have “undocumented administrative features” and “development tools mistakenly enabled in production”, but not backdoors.

After seeing how the XZ maintainer's burnout and mental health decline was exploited to the potential detriment of the whole world, we're totally going to be supporting our developers more, right guys? We're totally going to fund critical OSS and pay maintainers enough to hire on other maintainers to take the burden off of them and reduce burnout, right? Right?

Things you get for free can never be part of your supply chain. Simple. When you use something you get for free, you take the full responsibility of making it work. No one else owes you anything for that.

I accidentally found a security issue while benchmarking postgres changes.

If you run debian testing, unstable or some other more "bleeding edge" distribution, I strongly recommend upgrading ASAP.

PostgreSQL maintainer Simon Riggs has died in a small airplane crash, on Tuesday.

For those who didn't know Simon, he's responsible for PostgreSQL Binary Replication and many big data features. He and I worked together at Greenplum 2006-2008. Postgres would not be the world-leading DB it is today if it weren't for him.

I've been thinking, and I find it incomprehensible that "Big Tech" is totally fine with ingesting copyrighted data with specific requirements in their licenses (such as attribution), while at the same time you know that if you try to even incorporate a single line of their code (or headers) in your (open source) software you'll get their lawyers in your neck.
