🧠 Extreme constraints = deep #PHP knowledge. How far can PHP 8 be pushed? In “Mastering PHP 8: Crafting Valid Code with Only 5 Characters”, @b-viguier.bsky.social explores XOR hacks, type juggling, #FFI, and what really happens inside the Zend Engine. 👇 https://f.mtr.cool/rnzasuoogg #IntPHPcon

I'm really impressed with the official "What's new in PHP 8.5" page (today's the release of #PHP 8.5 btw!). It's very well made, great job! www.php.net/releases/8.5...

🚨 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

🔒 PHP 8.5 unlocks static function in constant expressions 🎉 ✅ Allowed in: • Default params • Class constants • Static props • Attribute arguments ❌ Not allowed: • use (...) • Arrow functions fn() • $this Const-safe closures are here 💪

If you're interested in understanding how asynchronous programming works in #PHP, I just wrote this article. I hope you'll find it interesting. f2r.github.io/en/asynchrone (version française ici : f2r.github.io/fr/asynchrone)

I've been working on an DBGP (Xdebug) step-debugging TUI. It allows you to step forwards and backwards, shows inline values and has vim-like key bindings. This release includes a macos build. github.com/dantleech/de... #php #rust #xdebug

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

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.

Announcing the pre-release of the PHP Installer for Extensions (PIE) 🎉 Think of it as Composer for PHP extensions: they’re distributed via Packagist and handled similar to regular PHP packages. Check it out and share your feedback 🐘💜 thephp.foundation/blog/2024/11...

Article about building consensus: leaddev.com/communicatio... It's tricky. Sometimes you have to work in depth to build consensus, but 100% buy-in is an illusion. And this quest for buy-in leads to immobility, which in the end doesn't help to build confidence for the future. It's a vicious circle

Don't forget to add `"bump-after-update": true` in your composer.json when its type is project (not lib!). I'll be faster and save some CPU cycles. Example: github.com/symfony/skel...

New #PHP extension installer called Pie 🥧 was released! Thanks to @asgrim.dev's work we can now install PHP extensions by their Composer name (also with explicit configure flags for build). More features will be added in the future ☺️. github.com/php/pie
