If all the govs shutting down servers for a PHP update, all the hosters & enterprises terrified by the vuln, gave $100k, or just $50k a year to the PHP Foundation, things could look very differently. Go, make your employer sponsor *today* thephp.foundation/sponsor/ #php #phpc @thephpf.bsky.social

I'm sitting in a field in Devon. Camping life is the best life.

For those interested the trick is always stop at a bar with someone with a dog outside

Well it turns out Barcalona is amazing. Partly for my knack of finding locals bar and partly it's just cool

Every time you see a person holding their phone in front of their face on loudspeaker, drink.

I've somehow ended up in the shoot for a music video in my local. This is my life

Lol Pl

Winningest is not a word.

I'll leave this year for fans of phoenix nights

Did you join us on Gary's stream yesterday? It was a great afternoon exploring Mago and seeing what can be done with Claude's code. Static analysis has never been so fast! Catch up here if you missed it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGti...

I'm 50 next year, been playing computer games since I was 5 or 6. You'd think I would get better after all this experience.

Don't forget this is tomorrow! It's looking like the agenda will cover the current OSS landscape and the impact of LLMs, so it'll be a lively discussion for sure.

Just had a sly beer with snoop in Swansea. Nice guy.
