Really clever is Claude. I told it to change the currency shown in a #PHP file from Dollars to Euros, so it replaced all the $ with € 🤦

Heartbreaking update from #tailwindcss. They had to lay off 75% of their staff yesterday due to #AI driven losses.
I really don't see how the #OpenSource industry survives this. The days of making your source and your docs open to the public is quickly disappearing.

If you think === in PHP is “obvious”, the Zend Engine disagrees 🙂
I wrote a deep dive into how strict comparison is actually implemented internally — and why it matters for correctness.

New blog post: "Why I Built a Kubernetes Deployment Tool for PHP Developers"
After 15+ years of production PHP and watching teams burn weeks on K8s adoption, I finally built the tool I wished existed.
The premise: the gap between docker-compose and production shouldn't require a platform team.

https://hachyderm.io/@itworldcup/115813358056489707 #php is just pulling ahead.
The low barrier to entry, the ease of deployment, the community - made it possible for anyone to make their own little bit of the web - without permission, without cost, with minimal setup.
As the web gets more closed off, PHP is still our greatest weapon in the fight to free the web.
I think that deserves a vote.
