Who will I see at #PHPTek next week? I’m giving a keynote on Thursday, and I’m super nervous. It’s only the second keynote I’ve ever given, and the first one was over 10 years ago. 😬😰 #PHP
As is tradition for me, I get home from traveling and grab myself a California Burrito 🌯. No one makes these like we do in SoCal. Already looking forward to #phptek 2024. The big question now is, where?
Proposal for a conference talk: How to configure #PHPStorm and all its tooling extensions (xdebug, phpstan, php-cs-fixer, etc.) to use a docker container consistently.
OH: “A lot of the stuff that Python gets praised for being fast at, PHP now outperforms Python at doing, but it’s a story we’re not really telling. We should be telling that story.” #PHPTek#HallwayTrack#PHP
Heading to bed early for an early wake-up time for my flight to Chicago for #PHPTek this week. This will be the first in-person conference I’ve spoken at since 2019. I’m feeling a little nervous, both of traveling and of speaking, but I’m feeling very good about the talks themselves. #PHP
It’s good to see @ramsey share his personal discovery that when he was looking for a job nobody gave a shit about all the amazing OSS contributions he made. #phptek24#phptek
Use Value Objects rather than massive $options arrays when exposing an interface for configuring requests made by your SDK, because you want to make your SDK code as self-documenting as possible. - @SecondeJ#phptek
Lesson for potential and current speakers — my talk today didn’t go over as well as I wanted. The audience had different expectations and feedback was helpful. This happens to every speaker at one time or another. #phptek#phptek24
I sent a text to my coworker who is running the Vonage booth at #phptek sating: I kinda wish I was there. Looks like everyone is having fun. But this is my current state of affairs. I’m having more fun with little dude
Thanks to all who attended my talk “Put a UUID On It!” at #PHPTek, especially to those who laughed at my jokes and got the Portlandia references—you’re the real heroes. 😉
The slides are linked to from Joind.in, and while you’re there, please rate the talk and provide feedback. Thanks!
This photo popped up in my “featured photos” today.
Taken at #PHPTek 2017 in Atlanta, that’s Sammy, Amanda, @joepferguson, @eric, and @john seated on stage, with @matthewtrask looming behind them on a large projection screen.
I’m pretty sure I was being a jerk in the audience that night.
It’s an odd decision for #PHPTek not to stream the keynote and some of the talks for virtual attendees, but I guess they need an incentive to motivate people to actually show up in person. 🤷🏽♂️
I’m getting my presentation ready for #phptek. It’s a challenge to hit the time. I’ll do a test run and it will be 5 minutes short so I add more and then it’s 10 minutes too long.
Looks like I have a tutorial (Writing PHP Extensions) and a talk (Better Debugging with @Xdebug) accepted for php[tek] 23! (I hope they meant 2024 ;-) ).
Ever wanted to build and publish a #Composer package but don’t know how? Come to my tutorial at 2pm CDT in PHPUgly Hall, and I’ll teach you how! #PHP#PHPTek
