Hey, that’s me! You should totally come to Amsterdam to see this (and all the other great speakers)

Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Yemen, and now Qatar. Israeli aggression and Zionist oppression has to stop, now! It’s time to sanction and isolate Israel like we have isolated and sanctioned Russia for their invasion of Ukraine!

The German healthcare system can’t tolerate “my meds work and I’d rather not make any changes”. FFS. Back to looking for doctors and therapists that have an open wait list.

25 countries call on Hamas to release the hostages and on Israel to end its war on Gaza. Germany is not joining the statement, apparently our government still hasn’t gotten rid of its genocidal habit.

🥧 I have finally released PIE 1.0.0 - The PHP Installer for Extensions will let you install a growing number of extensions. Thank you to a whole host of people for their support in building this excellent @thephpf.bsky.social initiative! ❤️ #phppie #pie #phpcommunity #phpc github.com/php/pie/rele...

Let’s call this what it is: forced displacement of an entire population. As horrible as the events of October 7th were, nothing justifies razing an entire city to the ground. Enough is enough. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Just over an hour until the AMA with MongoDB’s PHP team. Join @jerome.tamarelle.net and me at 18:00 CEST: www.youtube.com/live/caiVFee...

This Wednesday @jerome.tamarelle.net and I will be participating in an AMA to celebrate the 2.0 release of MongoDB's PHP driver: www.youtube.com/live/caiVFee...

Fresh ink, part two

New ink was long overdue

So excited to have Pauline join our team!

Always a special moment when you tag a major release...

🔴Next up at #Symfony_Live Berlin: Distributed Transactions in Symfony with Denis Brumann!

Deprecating the implicitly nullable parameter in #PHP 8.4 had a huge cost for the maintainers. Even if there are solutions to automate the fixes, that breaks almost all old code with very low value for developers. My article about fixing this is by far the most popular I have ever published.

“Computing is too important to be left to men.” - I think I’m going to put this on a sticker to remind ourselves more often.

Laura Durieux asking the important question “what happened to women in computer science” to kick off day two at #Symfony_Live Berlin.

@nicolasgrekas.bsky.social is kicking off #Symfony_Live Berlin with what’s new in #Symfony 7.3

On my way to #Symfony_Live Berlin - so excited to be back and speak about PHP extensions.

Basement: reorganised. My rig will get a new spot, which still needs work. But the rest of the family can enjoy their new setups

ADHD is when you can’t manage to fit a shelf to the wall in your office for two years, but decide to rearrange all the furniture in the basement on Christmas Eve. I’ve learned to accept it…

Got the opportunity to do a quick test drive of the Audi A6 e-tron Avant. It’s a nice car, but not sure it can beat my e-tron GT, especially in terms of build quality

Had the car in the shop for five days for a brake recall (not like I use them), and “got” to drive an ICE for those days. If all we knew was EVs and somebody tried to sell us an ICE vehicle with “range” and “emotion” as defining factors, they’d be laughed out of town. Never again.

82000 hours on my HDDs in the NAS…is it time for new drives? 🤔

If you'd like to replay my #SymfonyCon talk slides about Pickle Pie (or maybe just needed a link to that recipe), I've uploaded the slides to SpeakerDeck: speakerdeck.com/alcaeus/from... #LoveYourDevelopers

Burger, Fries, Hot-Dog, two drinks: $ 59.28. #JustNewYorkThings

Just New York things: ending your Uber ride early because walking is faster.

From Vienna to Munich and on a plane to the @mongodb.bsky.social offices in NYC. What did I do to deserve such a life? 🤩

Joining Bluesky and discovering all the tech people I haven’t seen on Twitter makes me feel like it’s 2008 again. I’ve learned so much since then, and now I realise how much more I can learn and teach. #loveyourdevelopers

Just over 16 years, and 6644 posts, and it’s time to move. Back then, I was absolutely green, but people like @jwage.bsky.social and @jmikola.net helped me become who I am today. Thank you for coming to my ted talks, and welcome to this new stage in my life.

Hello world!
