That said, I want to be clear: my remarks aren’t meant to diminish the hard work that went into organizing this event. I recognize and appreciate the effort behind it.

@ramsey

That also means:

No one appears to have intentionally considered how to make this event more inclusive or diverse.

To me, the event felt similar to an MLM model—where businesses recruit individuals, often women, as independent sales consultants to host parties or online events selling makeup and beauty products.

In this case, it seemed like the broader PHP community was invited primarily to promote or sell specific products or frameworks.

@ramsey

It’s not what I originally wrote but I meant to say “celebration of PHP with the community”

Thank you for correcting me.

#PHPverse is not a celebration of the PHP community, it's a carefully branded sales pitch.

The lack of racial, gender, and technological diversity makes it clear: this isn’t a community event, it’s a marketing funnel, dominated by J******s staff and L*****l affiliates, disguised as one.

A real community event should reflect the full spectrum of voices and tools that make PHP what it is, not just what sells licenses and subscriptions.

Using a Headless Platform means you don't have to throw away your frontends. Instead, you create them in the language of your choice and use the responses from the platform's API. Keeping things decoupled offers many advantages.
