Seeing Gandi now seemingly charges twice the market price for domain name renewals, I've migrated all of mine to another registrar. It's a shame, really – had been with them for something like 15 years

Laravel Cloud looks pretty good. Clever that you can basically test it out for free with a laravel.cloud subdomain. Pricing makes a lot of sense to me overall cloud.laravel.com

Conferences like #phpuk are also places where you can witness Derick Rethans @derickr.phpc.social.ap.brid.gy and Kévin Dunglas @dunglas.dev casually discuss a tighter integration of Xdebug and FrankenPHP over a beer. Don't fade the meatspace!

I thought I came here to follow developers again but all I read about is politics 🤷🏻‍♂️ Not that much better than X in this regard, if I’m honest. Topics are also exactly the same, although from a vey different angle.

My client is looking for some kind of online test to screen potential PHP developers (intermediate to senior). Something that'd be timed (e.g. 1 hour) and that the candidate would take whenever and that would lead to an interview if successful. Any suggestions?

Hi, what is your main motivation to write open-source code?

I tried to upgrade Foundry to v2 after this, but had to give up. This is Symfony's biggest pain point AFAIAC – I get the "glue" approach, but leaving too much to the community means things get out of sync and upgrades are brittle. I much prefer Laravel's full-stack approach

Just successfully upgraded PHPUnit to version 11 in a Symfony 7.2 app. The process isn't documented, but this GitHub issue comment should put you on the right track github.com/symfony/s...

🚀Support for invokable commands will land in #Symfony Console 7.3. No need to extend the base Command class anymore 🎉 Input options/arguments are configured through #PHP Attributes. And there is more to come!

📢 Huge update in #PHP ecosystem! If you're utilising PHP 8.4 features, they're now covered with #PHPStan analysis, so you can work with your code with greater confidence 🥳. That's an awesome way to close the calendar year in #OSS 😊. phpstan.org/blog/phpstan...
