I won’t normally boost without alt text, so lemme summarize: four photos of several dozen #phptek attendees enjoying a meal at Portillo’s after the conference. Some are wearing novelty hot dog hats, and all appear to be having a great time. https://phpc.social/@ramsey/112335942159436451
When I was revamping "Up to my Eyeballs in Technical Debt!" talk (11am Central tomorrow morning here at #phptek!) I wrote a whole section on the #AdapterPattern, which I then had to cut out for time.
Hey #phptek, less than two hours until we talk about #PHP on the #CLI. Be there or be…in another session more aligned with your interests and/or learning goals.
Or taking time for yourself (remember: we’re only halfway through the conference and it’s important to pace yourself).
Or building lifelong friendships with fellow attendees.
I hope you spend the 3pm hour with me, but however you choose to spend it I hope you enjoy!
I’m sorry, but you can’t claim “I don’t follow politics” in America in 2024. Either you’re for democracy or you’re deep in trump’s asshole; there is no middle ground.
If you truly don’t care, a) I wish I could live in your naive, fantasy world and b) please vote for the guy who didn’t attempt an insurrection. Consider it a favor for my daughter and every other little girl who doesn’t want to grow up to become a forced-birth baby factory.
@stevegrunwell you can ignore politics in 2024. You just need to be white, male, cis, rich, healthy, employed, married, if you have kids have all boys, and so on.
As a bonus, the banner image is my cat, Taco, peeking out of a drawer. It also happens to be the lock screen photo on my iPad and never fails to make me smile.
@stevegrunwell Right. WordPress Core is NOT going to be sending your data from your WordPress install for consumption. If that code showed up in Core, this might be an interesting issue.
If you have stuff at Tumblr, WordPress.Com, Blogger, Xitter, FaceBook, the companies can and will monetize it and AI is this weeks darling (read "crap") tech. WordPress.Com is a company like any other.
I want to take this opportunity to say that the #WordPress community is full of amazing people. Some work for #Automattic, but plenty do not.
Please don’t let the actions of one (albeit prominent) company in the space diminish the hundreds of thousands of hours of labor done by people who have/will never work for Matt.
@stevegrunwell@heiglandreas Technically, if your name ends in “s,” an apostrophe and an “s” should be added, since your name isn’t plural. So, Chris’s instead of Chris’, but a lot of folks were taught the “wrong” way, and some style guides advocate for the “wrong” way.
Haynes’: belonging to Mr. Haynes
Haynes’s: belonging to the Haynes family
Hayneseses’: how my wife and I say it to make it clear that language is silly sometimes
This thread pretty much sums up my thoughts on #Tailwind:
While it can be useful for rapid prototyping, too often our prototypes get shipped as “MVPs”, which are then never given the space to really be cleaned up.
As a result, shit like this lives on and we continue the cycle of “front-end needs to be over-engineered so people will respect us!”
