PHP[TEK] 2024

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.”

I’ve seen a number of folks get excited about contributing to since , 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.

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 :

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

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

We would be light-years ahead

Here are the slides for my talk "Composer Guide to Supply Chain Security" at PHP[TEK] in Chicago 2 weeks ago!

Supply chain security is such an important topic! My talk highlighted what you should know about Composer to effectively and securely use it in your dev workflows. It also showed what tools like Private @packagist can do to help.

Thank you to @phparch for putting on another great event and having us as a sponsor!

The best documentation is written by newcomers

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

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.
