Are there no #PHP user groups in Alabama? I don’t see any listed on https://php.ug

I’ve just wrapped up an incredible tour of @phpday in Verona 🇮🇹, @phptek in Chicago 🇺🇲 (deep-dish pizza!!!) and @PHPers Day in Poznań 🇵🇱
It was unbelievable awesome meeting so many folks, gifting #Datadog ElePHPants, talking about performance, observability and totally wild ideas to make #PHP fast.
It’s been a privilege to connect with such talented professionals across different continents. Immense thanks to every organiser, speaker and fellow attendee for the conversations and camaraderie.

I'm rewriting my personal website to use good ol' fashioned PHP without a framework. This is why and how.

What are folks using for job/message queues in #PHP, these days?
Edit: I’m looking for PHP applications or libraries that provide a drop-in job queuing system that your existing code can use to register and manage jobs.

Anyone happen to be looking for a programmer who hasn't been completely consumed by all-AI-everything by any chance? Freelance or hired, remote (based in Germany). I speak German and English and mostly worked with #PHP, #Laravel, #Kirby CMS, #Vue, #Svelte and a bit of native mobile dev (Swift and Kotlin), too.
I know the chances are slim given everything in the world, but maybe this time #getfedihired might work out? Boost super appreciated. Feel free to DM or email at skye@lavenderbits.com

Thank very much for your ongoing efforts!
Would like to see that video. lol, i know the feeling, here's me mumbling about the factory design pattern 😜

I think I’d be in favor of this approach. It doesn’t “erase” the types, while it steers clear of the difficulty of implementing them at runtime.

🌐 What We Lost with PHP and jQuery • Ibrahim Diallo
「 No package managers, no build processes, no debates about hydration strategies. Today, creating even a simple webpage often involves configuring multiple tools, managing dependencies, and navigating complex development workflows. How we got here? What did we lose along the way? 」
What #libre#IDE (integrated development environment for programming code) would y'all want to coalesce around using, supporting, and developing? Asking especially for coding websites and applications with #PHP, #JavaScript, #CSS, and #HTML but #Python, #Elixir, #Rust, and #Go would all be great for us @agaric too.
I don't understand why this is enforced in symfony/validator. It means I can't have a base class with a `final public static` method on it that I use as a common validator for all models. I have to define the static method on every model.

...and now we just added the Migration Guide to the site: https://www.php-fig.org/per/coding-style/meta/migration-3.0/
This guide covers the migration from PER CS 2.0 to 3.0. If you need help for the previous step too, we got you covered: https://www.php-fig.org/per/coding-style/meta/migration-2.0/
You should also remember that PER-CS 1.0 is intentionally equivalent to PSR-12, so no migration is required there. Happy #PHP formatting! 😃
