#phptek if every user did just one documentation fix a year - what @ramsey calls "light open source contributions"

We would be light-years ahead

#phptek @ramsey I think there are quite a few of us in the same age cohort who lived this.

#phptek So many old-timers in this room. So many php careers that can vote, drink... and a few that are old enough to run for president.

#phptek "When you teach others you learn to do it even better" @ramsey

The best way I've heard AI(llm) assistance with coding is it's moving the work to code review instead of code generation. Considering how bad most people are at code review... this will not end well.

#phptek

#phptek The best documentation is written by newcomers

They find the important stuff that the current folks "already know"

#phptek I would argue with @ramsey s statement that being active on mailing lists and helping others isn't being involved in open source

Every answer someone gives to a user's problem is mental weight a maintainer or contributor can let go of

#phptek @ramsey Calling out that everyone using tools built on php ARE php developers

@ramsey #phptek telling the old web stories

Midi files
Animated gifs

Geocities and tripod and angelfire

Web rings and guestbooks

And we all shared things

Last minute decided to go to #phptek this year. Trying to decide if I want to make the drive tonight or tomorrow morning... have to find a hotel for the night if I decide on the late drive.
