#php gave me a career when I wasn't sure where I wanted to go. It gave me a community of friends all over the world. I've built some amazing things because of PHP, and even though Im doing Python these days PHP is still my language of my choice. It truly has had an amazing impact on my life.

Happy birthday PHP!

As a history nerd, the next month or so is just absolutely fascinating to look back on. Probably the most consequential month in American history.

end of an era.

It's bittersweet. Twitter was how I got myself into the #php and the #api communities. It helped me learn so much about PHP, APIs, leadership, conference talking, and more. The friends I made along the way are some of the best I will ever know. But I couldn't keep the account going with everything going on. All good things must come to an end.

Bye friend.

I just saw Ben Shapiro at the airport. Really took all of me not to yell him a hearty “fuck you!”

Need something to do while putting up Christmas decorations today? "Music of John Williams" is on Disney+ and will definitely hit you in the feelings.
