I am one of the team members behind PHP Architect and do my best to make PHP and the PHP Community a little better. I enjoy drinking Scotch and watching baseball. My thoughts and posts are my own.

I'm really excited to catch up with Nuno tomorrow. He's one of the brightest minds in the Laravel/PHP World, and he's always building. He might be the only person who gets more excited about PHP packages than I do.
We are very excited to let you know that @nunomaduro.com will be joining @ericvanjohnson.bsky.social and @johncongdon.bsky.social on our podcast tomorrow.

Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://youtube.com/@phparch

I am not sure who needs to hear this, but if you are an @ohmyz.sh user and you are not using the `take` command, you are doing yourself a disservice. Next time you need to clone a repo, do a `take `. I'll wait.... and you're welcome.

Wouldn't it be nice if you could just stop your reality and var_dump() it? Look at your life, figure out where you are making mistakes, and fix them before they get out of hand.

So DHH thanks PHP for taking him down the path he went in development, and we have DHH to thank for things in the PHP world like Laravel. I don't think Laravel would be what it is today if Taylor Otwell weren't inspired by RAILS.

Today's PHP Podcast Livestream is kicking off in about 30 minutes. We'll probably share our thoughts on things we saw at Laracon this year, as well as other PHP topics. Wow, that sounded AI-generated, but I promise you I am typing this. Or am I? I honestly don't know anymore
