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

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

Another excellent #PHPTek, thanks to @eric, @john, and the entire @phparch team. You all rock! 🤘

Thank you to the amazing sponsors who made it all possible!

Attendees, please check out the sponsors and let them know you appreciate their support.

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.

That could easily fill a tutorial...

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

This is part of the reason I couldn’t get to a good place (mentally) in order to do a _real_ “Saving Open Source” talk at #PHPTek:

Exploring Chicago by looking at it from a rooftop bar with @michelle, @vanamerongen, @awoodsnet & @[email protected] #phptek

Thanks to an amazing session by @derickr at #phptek, I have now successfully built my first PHP extension. It doesn't do anything ... but the fact that it works, tests pass, and it extends the functionality of the language is a win I'll take.

Not understanding how to start with extensions has held me back from several ideas I've had percolating since ... at least 2018. It feels so good to be productive again :-)
