I write a blog about PHP and programming, a newsletter, a PHP framework, and a scifi novel. So yeah, I write.

I also host PHP Annotated on YouTube, and am I developer advocate for PHP at JetBrains, PhpStorm.

Something I've been working on slowly but am super excited about: Timeline Taxi part 2, as well as an audiobook of the first book 🀩

Lots of work to be done still, and I'm not putting any pressure on myself, but we're making progress πŸ’ͺ

@brendt Tempest looks cool. Would be fun to try out on some green field project!

@rolfdenhartog There are the relation attributes, but you'd still need to `@var` docblock for hasmany. That's because you need @var anyway for static analysis and IDE insights, so it wouldn't make sense repeating yourself in with an attribute.

If only we had generics…

I've rewritten all the docs for Tempest's database component. Wow, it's pretty nice!

I think I'm starting to like our ORM, actually πŸ€”
