Hi, I'm Derick.

I work on PHP as part of the PHP Foundation.
I am the author of https://phpc.social/@Xdebug.

I like #walking, #languages, #photography, #astronomy, and #space, and will post about these topics alongside #PHP.

Behold, wee little e-ink displays.

@petrillic What's the amount of pixels on that, and how would you drive these?

If anyone at would like to be a PHP Developer Advocate at (or knows someone who would), then come talk to me!

Why am I posting about a PHP position at PyCon? @chrisjrn made me do it. Go complain to him ๐Ÿ˜

@judy2k @chrisjrn I probably could... But not in the US.

@judy2k @chrisjrn Disclaimer: I did work for MongoDB on the PHP driver. Now work on the PHP language again.

PHP needs a code of conduct for the project itself. Is there anyone willing to push for an RFC to add one with me? #php

@derickr@phpc.social avatar

@heiglandreas @sarah @ramsey @Crell @pronskiy I think I have repos with the original work from 8ish years ago. Some of the detractors haven't been seen since then... So maybe better success this time. I'll chase them down when I get home.

derickr,
@derickr@phpc.social avatar

@sarah @heiglandreas @ramsey @Crell @pronskiy The repo I have is: https://github.com/derickr/php-community-health โ€” let me know if it makes sense to transfer it to you.

(I work at Slack, opinions my own) A bunch of people are sharing viral social media posts saying that we train LLMs on customer data. It's a story that slots neatly into the hype/doom narrative around AI.

But it's not true โ€” we even wrote a whole blog post about it last month: https://slack.engineering/how-we-built-slack-ai-to-be-secure-and-private/

Not discounting the other concerns around LLMs (e.g. hallucinations, environmental impact) that are totally legitimate.

@mattbrowndev @sebastian I've just read the Ars article linked in https://phpc.social/@Crell/112457889095716217 - I still believe GDPR requires active consent for any data being collected for any purpose that wasn't consented to before. And henceforth, it would still be a good advice from opting out as well, until things are clarified with that regard as well.

@rskuipers at on "Decision making for developers", mentioning " Thinking, Fast and Slow" book.
One of the very interesting books on psychology and behaviour I ever read, nice to see it connected to developers and coding.

Cool talk!

@rskuipers @thepanz indeed. That's why I heard again of the book and attempted to read it.
