Editing videos for PHP TEK 2025, and this slide still has me laughing. For content, this was the start of a father/son talk by @pmeth and Easton Meth

My #communityCornerPodcast interview with @pmeth and Easton Meth about their relationship passing knowledge from father to son and their talks at #phptek 2025.

@tjlytle getting things kicked off at #phptek

@ross life changing!!!

@bobmagicii haha, ya. To be fair I'm doing 3 talks. 2 of them are ready and this one I procrastinated because I figured would be easy. After all I'm just talking about my son and my life ;) I was wrong :P
But it's about 75% done, just need to fill in some gaps.

@ross Nice!! Have you ever tried Battlesnakes? I did that for the first time at Cascadia PHP with my son. He did most of the code and we actually won a couple of matches.

I am putting together slides and ideas for a talk at PHPTek in 2 weeks. I want to add some thoughts, opinions and ideas from other people to help round out the talk. So what are your thoughts on the topic of parents and children in tech? Are there resources or techniques you can recommend? Do you want to share any stories; successes, failures, funny, inspiring, whatever?

Last night on the @phparch Podcast, we announced the speaker lineup for PHPTek 2205 (https://phptek.io/speakers). We also revealed we were going to have a father and son combo talk with Peter Meth (@pmeth) and Easton Meth, and if they don't do their talk dressed in hazmat suits ala Breaking Bad, I am stepping down from my role as the sex symbol for the PHP language.

@eric @phparch That's not a bad idea. Give you all some insight into what things are like in the Meth lab.

Yep, that's @filament running natively - on device, not via the internet - on iOS 🔥

I've been accepted to speak at @phptek

I just proposed a talk to @phptek Fingers crossed!! 🤞🤞🤞

About to try the famous Voodoo Donuts in Portland

Touchdown PDX. Tomorrow @cascadiaphp

I'll be heading to Portland this week for @cascadia . Happy to meet up with anyone in the area.

@tjlytle @cascadia @alena I'll try, but not very hopeful. If I understand correctly I have to host my own server?

By an odd stroke of luck, I have an extra “Full Three Day Pass” ticket to Cascadia PHP that I’m giving away, with preference to someone from an underrepresented group in tech.

@cascadia is next week, October 24-26, in Portland, OR. Unfortunately, I can’t help with transportation/lodging, so you’ll need to figure that out on your own.

Please email me if you or someone you know is interested; email address is ben@ramsey.dev

Got my ticket for @cascadia . Looking forward to the talks and surrounding activities.

I think a candidate for phrase of the year has got to be "I hope this message finds you well". It could also be classified as "phrases no one ever said in real life until ChatGPT took over"
