wiki.php.net/rfc/short-an... Yes please

I don't want my code to return promises. I have trust issues. Give me the value or else

For the first time in a long while we chilling at work. Focused, no external distractions

Tomorrow we change payment providers to the legacy application. God help us

Pls come back :(

Massive Firefox controversy with introduced ToS: connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussio...

If you are a service provider and your documentation is up to date, accurate and self explanatory I want to implement your services (no homo)

Correct. If the birthdate field contains corrupt or mismatched data, it defaults to 1875-05-20, which serves as a flag. May 20, 1875, is the day the international standards and metrics treaty was signed. Everything is a conspiracy when you don’t know how anything works.

The engineer we hired is better than me - I couldn't be happier

I think I broke AI today

I offered free python lessons several years ago to aspiring developers just to give something back to my local community. Yesterday one of my students sent me a sudoku visualiser and solver using several different solving algorithms. Very proud

Finally hired a frontend developer. Hope they were the right choice

We're getting some CVs and I'm thinking "how on earth is this person unemployed". Really good people out there without jobs. Brutal market

It's time to learn rust. Finally got the energy and leisure

The AI girlfriend chatbot ads that pop on YouTube shorts are straight out of a black mirror episode, Jesus Christ, what is this timeline we're living in?

I thought it was common sense, but it's been happening so much I am beginning to doubt myself. I'm interviewing front-end developers and they're asking the hourly rate they got paid in short term fixed length contract projects * 160 for a full time salaried role. This is absolutely delulu, right?

Why do people who seem otherwise intelligent and competent keep suggesting GenerativeAI as a solution to problems that require accurate information when the one thing it can’t deliver is…accurate information?

It's funny watching the reactions to the Chinese open source AI because we forgot that this is how the internet was meant to be, free.Also, lol at the fragility of the stock market - as if isn't just glorified gambling that attempts to profit over everything and offers no tangible value.

Symfony's messenger component is surprisingly difficult to configure with external messages handlers and dispatchers. Specifically serialisation

Custom encryption in code bases is such a red flag

Should I give a self taught frontend developer - university student a chance to join us full time

Finally a few chill days at work. I've missed this. I can't write about it yet coz it's too fresh but I've got some legit insane stories for later

Do y'all have a friend that buys a fake pussy in secret Santa events while everyone else gets books and stuff or is my friend group weird

Elon Musk Holds Up AI Girlfriend App So She Can See theonion.com/elon-mu...

Cannot concentrate. Djokovic Alcatraz putting on a show

What a timeline. We really are getting presidential shitcoins. Grifters

How difficult is it to hire a decent typescript developer tho

I'm very impressed by the honey scam. It's legit one of the most fascinatingly simple ways to fuck everyone over and it took a decade for someone to notice.

I keep hearing CEOs declaring that hiring of engineers will freeze because of AI (Salesforce, meta). By all means, go ahead and do that. Replace engineers with AI. Fill your code with non existent dependencies and non existent method calls. They will ask for triple the salary later.

What is the meaning of life? Is there a god? Will banks ever replace COBOL?

I've actually taken the decision to deprecate a part of the legacy php backend at work and replace it with a node microservice for legit reasons. It's the first time in my career a microservice in a different language is the best course of action and not just a "cool thing to do"

Lmao

2025 started well. I've been sick for 5 days and there's a potential exploit on the site

I've inherited an application with a mariadb database which is plagued by deadlocks and lock wait timeouts. I'm not sure how to debug this

PHP version so old you gotta re-assign $this to $that to capture it in the closure 🫠

Programming goals for 2025: - Rediscover love for the industry
