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

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.

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:

From @geerlingguy: “2024 is the year corporate open source died”

Hey, everyone! I’m giving a keynote at @phptek in Chicago in April. I’m pretty excited about it, and I’d love to see you there.

I’ve seen a number of folks get excited about contributing to #OpenSource since #PHPTek, and that’s amazing!

My advice: pace yourself, and start small. Give yourself a long runway, and if you don’t contribute at the level you were hoping, don’t count that as a failure, and don’t beat yourself up over it.

It’s easy to burn out quickly if your expectation is to jump head-first into open source. Every contribution, no matter how tiny you perceive it, is a success.

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

Is there a way to do an “OR” search for hashtags on #Mastodon? Or maybe one of the apps has implemented this? @MonaApp, do you support this?

I want to do a search like this:

#phptek OR #phptek24 OR #phptek2024

Then, I want to save or bookmark it, so I can check it regularly as a separate “feed.”

(Edit: I know about the advanced interface, but I’m on mobile, specifically iOS.)
