There really needs to be some way to create modern web applications that doesn’t force you to use JavaScript. That shit’s just awful for a sane mind. Preferably not CSS either as that shit’s a total garbage fire.
Seems PHP is still the best (only?) alternative and that’s just sad. Why did we allow the web to get so bad? It all started out great 30 years ago and look at the state now…
Functional programming isn't just for Haskell developers. It's for #PHP developers, too. "Thinking Functionally in PHP" is available from LeanPub.

Together with PyPI, Maven Central, crates.io and other major package registries we signed a statement on sustainable open source infrastructure.
3B+ installs/month and evolving #composerphp and packagist.org requires sharing the costs.

Has anyone looked at whether using #AI for coding will hold back adopting of new (improved) language tools and standards?
For example, #Drupal has used annotations for plugins for years, while #PHP attributes are the new preferred syntax. AIs are trained off of code of the past, which for plugins was all annotations until attributes were introduced. Does that mean the stochastic coding parrot will continue to suggest annotations because of their stronger weight in the training set?
I've been busy wrapping up the final parts of Loops ActivityPub federation!
We will ship with two modes (Open and Lockdown), the latter allowing you to restrict federation with allowed instances only (and enforced via AuthorizedFetch)
You can also disable Federation support
I'll have a better ETA this weekend after some more testing ✨
Thanks to phpstan, this may even ship this weekend 🚀
@dansup love seeing phpstan being called out like this in other #PHP projects. Hard to imagine where modern #drupal would be without all of the work @OndrejMirtes, @mglaman and many others put into it.
Old enough to remember that nazis didn't own most of my favorite opensource projects.
Early bird pricing for #LonghornPHP ends tomorrow. This is probably the least expensive ticket to any North American #PHP conference you can get, so get yours before Saturday! Your career will thank you.
See you there!
🎂 Turned 45 today, which technically gives me +30 yoe in #PHP.

🚨 PSA for #PHP package maintainers: DO NOT REPLACE tags! If you messed up a release simply do another. No matter how quickly you notice a mistake, automatic tools already pulled the original tag, triggered automatic updates. Users will never know you recreated the tag and use the broken state. #phpc #composerphp

Hey PHP developers, after all the years you've spent with PHP and gained experience, if you had the opportunity to switch languages and take your experience with you, would you stick with PHP or choose another language? Boosts are welcome. ❤️ #php

I have submitted talks for ConFoo and would appreciate my #php folks taking a look and voting on them https://confoo.ca/en/2026/call-for-papers/speaker/chris-hartjes

The big topic of conversation this weekend, as I’m gathering with others to celebrate Ryan Weaver’s life, has been around how the #PHP community communicates and keeps in touch these days. It’s a good question, and I don’t have a good answer.
