I wish PHP 9.0 had a feature called "Flag".
No more bitwise operators, just fluent flag declaration. I'll prefer that rather than adding numbers and then wondering what is "8 | 16".

Quite happy with my new blog post entitled "Conferences and Connections"! 🚀
React-Like JSX Syntax for Webcomponents
TLDR: I’ve been #experimenting with react-like jsx-syntax with webcomponents to see if I could theoretically replace #React in one of my larger #software projects. It is not ready for production use, but rather a #Research exploration into #CustomElements and #ModernJS performance.
The goal was to build #FunctionalWebComponents that handle #StateManagement and #DOM updates without the overhead of a massive #JavaScript framework. By leveraging #StandardWebAPIs and #Proxy objects, I’ve managed to create a #Reactive programming model that feels familiar but stays closer to the #Platform.
Check out the full #TechnicalTutorial and #DeepDive here: https://positive-intentions.com/docs/research/Tutorials/dim/dim-functional-webcomponents

Ah, the classic "AI will replace human jobs" trope, now with the added twist of dodging cookies and JavaScript warnings. 🤖🍪 Because who needs a graduate student when you can "hire" a digital assistant that can't even load a webpage correctly? 🙄🚀
