@michabbb This doesn’t seem to be so much a problem with Laravel as it is a problem with people who commit their secrets to public repositories.

HUGE new RFC in PHP-land: Updating the somewhat messy and slightly unwieldy PHP license to BSD 3-clause.

Thanks to @phparch for sponsoring Longhorn PHP 2025 at the Plant num level! We're grateful for multiple years of their support, on top of running their own conference ( @phptek ). If you're in the market for PHP staff augmentation...or a monthly magazine with high-quality information relevant to building better with PHP...they're the right place to turn.

We should have mandatory Internet outage times every month, like Tornado drills but for exposing bad IoT devices and software phoning home.

I think the first two years of college should be free, student loans should be at 0% interest and available to anyone who needs one, we should take care of our veterans, we should have free public transportation, the post office is not a business and should not be run like one, healthcare is a right

Absolutely insane that every vote is a squeaker, and literally no one wants this bill but they don’t wanna get primaried. This bill is insane trash and will make everyone’s life worse except mine. And I don’t want the tax break. I want to pay for kids meals and Headstart with my taxes.

It’s so frustrating that there is this illusion that we are all 49%/49% right now. Us versus them, good versus bad, and it’s all because of the BS that is the electoral system. It’s very likely 70% versus 30% and we’re just not seeing representative government.There’s just no common sense right now

It’s been almost three months since I was laid off from my dream job as a software developer. I still haven’t found a new role, and I’m getting pretty frustrated and worried that I might have to leave tech altogether just to be able to pay the bills.

If anyone knows of someone looking for an Adobe Commerce/Magento developer (or maybe just PHP at this point) in the US, please send them my info. My LinkedIn is: linkedin.com/in/JosephLeedy

Thanks for any leads.

To my PHPriends out there, we are always looking for new feature articles for @phparch monthly magazine release. You don't need to be a subject matter expert, just passionate about what it is you are writing about. Maybe a new coding pattern you've adopted, or a new package you've started using. We'll even help you through the process.
And we pay $175 for unpublished articles.
Read here for more details: phparch.com/editorial/write-fo. DM me if you have questions.

the fact that the Internet Archive got into bigger trouble for lending books they paid for than Facebook did for reproducing books they pirated tells you everything you need to know about copyright.

I was sick and had to miss#phptek25, but @phparch still sent me a box of swag 🐘.

I've already deployed Tony to the local infrastructure with Pollita.
