I'm on my way to @confooca.bsky.social, I'll be speaking about static analysis and legacy code. I'll be around all conference, so if you want more in depth conversations about either of these topics please get in touch and we can chat further about these topics.

Laravel 12 is Now Released

I wrote an article for the amazing folks at @honeybadger.io! Give it a read and let me know what you think! 💙

We had a very productive meeting and now have a list of tasks to work on! It feels like @larabelles.com is entering a new phase, and I’m so excited for all the opportunities and developments that lie ahead. Watch this space!

What if you could add features to PHP without going through the RFC process? Join @daveliddament.bsky.social at PHP Tek to learn how to create custom PHPStan rules to enhance PHP on your own terms. ⚡📜 Check out the full schedule: phptek.io

"PHP, it's the Japanese knotweed of programming languages". Not sure how I feel about that, but maybe not a bad description! #phpuk25

Thanks to @tastapod.com for his opening keynote at #phpuk25. This is so important for larger organisations!

Talk 2 and it's Deploying at Scale with a Single Click by Wim Godden at #phpuk25

Talk 3 and it's Shrek, onions and architecture by Katy Ereira at #phpuk25. It's a great talk that I saw at phpday.

The next talk at #phpuk25 for me is on Modernizing PHP by Gina Banyard. The room is quite full and looks to be a popular talk.

Thanks for all the kind feedback on my supply chain security for #composerphp talk, was a great experience speaking at #phpuk - hope a lot of you sign up for Conductor and try it out when available! #php #phpuk25

A change of rooms at #phpuk25 and it's OpenAPI for Web Developers by @lornajane.net. If you're not using OpenAPI, you probably should be.

At #phpuk25 @naderman is making an excellent point that people that write articles and posts about cool new #PHP features and projects shouldn't be using headlines like "PHP is not dead", because most people will just remember "PHP" and "Dead".

🥧 PIE (PHP Installer for Extensions) got a mention in the #phpuk25 panel 😀 if anyone has any questions about it, come find me #php #phpc #phppie

Migrating from PHP 5 to PHP 8, and the error log be like:

Very proud of my teammate Guido Faecke for writing this detailed post on PHP logging best practices. www.zend.com/blog/error-l... #php #zend

Blog Post: Did you know there are some new commands in our favorite VCS system Git? Well there are. Check out www.phparch.com/2025...

Ok #Laravel folks, without looking anything up, what do you think this code does? Broadcast::channel('users.{id}', function (User $user, $id) { return (bool) $user->id == $id; });

My teammates Renato Salvatori and Slavey Karadzhov, both amazing PHP engineers, wrote about GDPR compliance for PHP devs. This especially caught my eye: "[...] collects only the necessary personal data and avoids collecting more information than needed [...]" www.zend.com/blog/gdpr-ph...

Goodnews is a #PHP based social media platform like #Mastodon based on the ActivityPub protocol. github.com/goodnews-pro...

thank you laracon eu, see you next year. 🫡

I'm speaking at #phptek about using static code analysis (SCA) to reduce the bugs in your code. I'll discuss how to set up a workflow to have SCA tools run with fast feedback loops as well as specific tools I use every day. #phpc Tickets are still available at: https://phptek.io/

Also, huge thanks to @taylorotwell.bsky.social for being such a good sport. The original plan was to just have him close the PR with "no plans to merge" but he went above and beyond with his perfectly-formatted comment: github.com/laravel/fram...

Been going to #LaraconEU since 2015 and this was the best one yet. Never talked to more people. Announcements, excitement, and content aside, some moments hit hard and got me emotional. I break easily at some concerts, but at a conference? That’s new. What a time for Laravel! ❤️

I am beyond honored and excited to share that I have been chosen to continue as a GitHub Star in 2025 🎉🎉🎉 🥂 thanks @github.com for this opportunity to continue representing Brazil in this amazing program 🙌🏻

Just registered php.town - excited to build something for the community.

Just got home from a great first day at #LaraconEU! After Dark was a lot of fun. Met some familiar and new faces today, plus package users (and customers!) too. Love seeing the community! Looking forward to tomorrow, feel free to reach out! 🙏

About halfway through writing a blog post about PHP generators, and LazyCollections in Laravel. I’ve not written much until recently, feels good to be writing again.

I have been playing around with running PHP through WASM, mostly to see how we can enable more extensions for the one that runs in the PHP documentation. Following up from our latest @thephpf developers meeting, where we discussed improving the @php website, I […] [Original post on phpc.social]

This is just a friendly reminder from your local PHP Tek team. This is the last week of Early Bird Pricing ($300 - $500). They will be removed on February 1st.

Sometimes, you want to rate limit a specific behavior in a controller or action, and using the throttle middleware feels inconvenient or overkill. In that case, you can use Laravel's RateLimiter Facade - it's super flexible! Need to allow 5 emails per day? 3 per hour? 1 per minute? Easy. ☕ #laravel

I got to use Generators and LazyCollections in PHP / Laravel today. Always feel smart when using those haha

I'm working on the #PHP dictionary, which collect definitions for every day words in the PHP culture. handler, haystack, lexical variable, relaxed syntax, truthy or shallow clones often need some explanations. Missing some words? Ping me ! php-dictionary.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Still bummed out Bluesky decided not to build on ActivityPub…

Great talk by @davehicking.com at the inaugural @phpxmsp.com meetup tonight! Thanks for the reminder to step back and ask questions.

6pm tonight! phpxmsp.com/meetups/2506...
