🚨 PSA for #PHP package maintainers: DO NOT REPLACE tags! If you messed up a release simply do another. No matter how quickly you notice a mistake, automatic tools already pulled the original tag, triggered automatic updates. Users will never know you recreated the tag and use the broken state. #phpc

ReactPhp, Amp, RevoltPhp: comparatif des frameworks asynchrones
Depuis la sortie des Fibers en PHP 8.1, le langage a maintenant tout ce qu’il faut pour offrir une expérience développeur fluide pour la programmation asynchrone. Les deux frameworks historiques (ReactPhp et Amp) se sont mis à la page, et leurs équipes ont même collaboré pour développer une implémentation commune (et autonome!) d’*Event Loop*: RevoltPhp. Cette conférence propose un comparatif de ces 3 librairies à travers différents exemples, ainsi que des conseils pratiques pour migrer une application existante. Et si le moment était venu d’optimiser votre application avec la programmation asynchrone ?

Sometimes it feels like making software is mostly about convincing people that no, 2 circles don't make an owl, you still need to draw the rest of the fucking owl

In the Future All Food Will Be Cooked in a Microwave, and if You Can’t Deal With That Then You Need to Get Out of the Kitchen
In the Future All Food Will Be Cooked in a Microwave, and if You Can’t Deal With That Then You Need to Get Out of the Kitchen
As a restaurant owner - I'm astounded at the rate of progress since microwaves were released a few short years ago. Today's microwave can cook a frozen burrito. Tomorrow's microwave will be able to cook an entire Thanksgiving Dinner. Ten years from now a microwave may even be able to run the country. Recently I was watching a livestream of a local microwave salesman.

What approach do you prefer to maintain code/architecture consistency over the years?
1/ Dictatorship: small core team validates all contributions
2/ Democracy: changes are accepted based on majority agreement
Both have pros/cons, I'm curious to hear some feedback

How a 20 year old bug in GTA San Andreas surfaced in Windows 11 24H2
After over two decades, players are now forbidden from flying a seaplane, all thanks to undefined code behavior.

I published a small application to compare two composer.lock files. It's built in PHP, but I didn't want to maintain a server. So it's deployed on GitHub Pages and uses WASM.

I've been trying vibe coding by playing with Cursor AI. It's as impressive as a fashion that might pass. It is brilliant at showing you the way and, at the same time, generating bloated, over-engineered code.
This cannot threaten seasoned developers but can surely improve their velocity.
