Functional programming isn't just for Haskell developers. It's for #PHP developers, too. "Thinking Functionally in PHP" is available from LeanPub.

Let's be controversial: In modern #PHP, you should never type-hint an array.

• 🧩 Custom Blocks via #PHP classes with #Filament form configuration and Blade view rendering stored as JSON

The amount of pointless, useless, overly-complex indirection I see in so many well-established, popular projects makes me very sad.
Except when I am trying to debug it; then it makes me very angry.

I like JetBrains products, but why in the hell does CLion, which you'd use to work on php-src, not support phpt files, which you would only need to use if you're working on php-src? It instead tells you to use PHPStorm, which... doesn't support the C code that is php-src.
This makes no sense to me at all.
#JetBrains

If #phpstorm tells you: "Loop can be converted to an 'array_any()' call" ☝️
👉 Remember: array_any might look nicer, but its performance can be much worse ⚠️
(that’s why I disabled that inspection)
#php

I recently joined a startup. Nearly the entire code base was build by a single person over 3 years, who was learning programming as he went. Yep, he used #PHP.
Is it good code? Not by a long shot, though I've definitely seen worse. But it *works*, runs, and is making money. Now we can work to make it better, and make even more money.
*That* is why PHP is so popular, and still so relevant…

Null is problematic, but why? Let's see why, and let that guide us to new alternatives. #PHP

I don't mind solving hard and interesting problems.
But I do get unreasonably angry at tools that so clearly care about only one specific use case and give a big FU to any other, like the one I'm trying to solve.

in case i need to ask something outside the context of the reddit-posting or video:
- generate a temporary URL (with the full posting/video transcript)
- call perplexity by URL and add the URL as context
with that, i can ask everything (full context included) that needs a search 😍

Happy Birthday to #PHP, in Lego form!
