After I reinstalled my OS, I opened the browser and forgot to install an adblocker. How do people even survive without those?! The web is unusable in its default state.

Everything is marketing…

We are slowly switching to the recently launched AlmaLinux 10 for our development environment. Since using AlmaLinux 9 for our PHP devs years ago, we never looked back. We aim to keep up to date with the latest tools and AlmaLinux 10 looks promising.

After years of faithfully dispatching controllers, routing requests and juggling service managers, #Laminas MVC is finally eligible for the senior citizen discount 🧓🏖️.

And the next generation carries on:

#Mezzio—leaner, faster, and fluent in the modern dialect of #PHP —grew up around PSRs on the other side of the stack and now runs everything through middleware like it's second nature.

Laminas is ending support for their MVC. How would you handle it?
With Laminas MVC taken out of active development, what is going to happen with existing projects? Do you think it's ok to pull support and promote another architecture or must MVC be supported forever?

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.

I knew that my @zend colleagues were nerds, but in person, I'm discovering a whole new level or nerdiness to them. #intPHPconf

Very good points, a reply to a CEO who wondered why his engineers were resistant to using LLMs for coding:

The middleware architecture has proven itself to be the way of the future. Many in the #PHP community see this as fact. Its versatility, efficiency and modularity is unmatched right now.

I don't want to "talk" to my browser. I don't want my browser to "summarize" things. I don't want my browser to "help" me with things. I don't want my browser to do anything except show me web pages and shut the fuck up and get out of the way.

Publishing a new version of your #API doesn't necessarily mean abandoning the previous ones, and maintaining them can quickly become complex. To make things easier for you, here’s a guide by @Philsturgeon to help you better manage multiple versions of your APIs.

If your #PHP project is based on Symfony, and your data model uses UUIDs for primary keys… you have to make sure Symfony’s profiler can render your queries properly, without choking on binary characters in the UUID.

I’m tired of seeing iconv errors in my logs and ASCII art in the query text. 🤮

Always happy to teach people new nuggets. :D

Fantastic post by @fimion.

At first I was like: Oh no, I guess I have to clean up my RSS reader because I certainly never subscribed to AI shilling blogs. Then I opened the post and had to laugh out loud.
