Last night we pushed the largest PR I've ever created at over 40k lines changed. We couldn't quite get sign-off from the stakeholders so scope creep was a nightmare. It's finally done and we only had a handful of bugs reported thanks to heavy TDD and Static Code Analysis!
This past week I had a problem at DayJob that would’ve been easier to solve if we had adopted the use of repositories that create immutable value objects. Since this is a Laravel project, I was overruled. My first implementation ended up being wrong (found out via production testing) and the fix ended up involving Eloquent mutators.
I still think value objects are the better solution but my boss both disagrees and trolls me about it.
#phpc developers, sometimes when I run #phpunit I receive 100s of errors (in my integration tests) that might only originate from 2 lines. Is there a way to consolidate these based on stack trace?
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.
Does anyone else get a little angry when someone emails a Word Document to 20 people asking for feedback instead of sending a link to a Google Document?
Please don't celebrate half-assing your conference talk. Doesn't matter if it's a small event or a juggernaut like #PyConUS. People pay to travel to the event, take time away from family and work, and have some expectations regarding what they will learn. Understandable!
The hallway track is great value but it isn't everything. It's your responsibility to give your public speaking engagement justice. There's many tips but at least don't prepare your slides the night before.
@ambv if I’m not practicing and refining my presentation at least a week before I give it I don’t feel like I’m giving the attendees their respect they deserve.

@derickr thanks I didn’t know the > did that. We’re adding our own DateTimeImmutable class because we have logic where things that occur outside of business hours get pulled or pushed into business hours.
I've been fighting with this API for over an hour and I figured out that if I sent 1 line item then it's sent back as an object but if I sent multiple line items it comes back as an array of objects. WTF honestly.
