Setting up deployer for various hosts (production, dev, staging etc) was super simple. Took all of 2 minutes to setup locally and server side (already had production up). Cost: $0.

Has anyone had good experiences with (universal) ctags for PHP? Looking for a solid, non-plugin, vim-native LS alternative for vim (9.1).

I tried `ctags -R --language-force=PHP --php-kinds=+c-f --fields=+n` as well as setting tags `set tags=./tags;,tags` but vim can't jump to function declarations by tag.

I only just learned #FrankenPHP exists, and I love the mascot

My latest interview with Dr. Molly McQueary is out and available. We discuss Performance Psychology and Dr. McQueary's talk at #phptek 2025

Some people hate PHP because it was their first language, they wrote a ton of bad code in it, learned better practices along the way as they switched to other languages, and then look back on their old code and blame the language.

They’ve been saying “PHP is dead” for almost 30 years.

In 1995, they said "learn ColdFusion instead."
1999: "Java and J2EE is the Future."
2002: "Drop PHP, use ASP.NET."
2003: "Django is the future."
2004: "Ruby on Rails is the real deal."
2010: "Try Flask."
2011: "AngularJS is the way."
2016: "Next.js is the new wave."

Maybe PHP is still popular because there was never a hype around it.

Using git is non-negotiable for me. Even as a solo dev, I always use it in my Laravel projects. So why do I still find value in PHPStorm's Local History feature? In today's video, I talk about 3 benefits. #php #laravel https://masteringlaravel.io/daily/2025-03-28-video-why-phpstorm-local-history-is-useful-even-if-you-use-git

I am probably holding them wrong!

This time I tried writing a web app not in #php but #fastapi + #sqlmodel (python) and #vue3 ( javascript). It kind of works well but refactoring is a nightmare.

In the beginning, it felt like I was having the best of both worlds -- Python and Vue3. Dev speed was good. Now maintaining and refactoring make me feel like I am having the worst of both worlds.

As a single dev, I should have stayed with #php!

#phpactor vs #intelephense

This was a useful summary
https://yarnaudov.com/phpactor-vs-intelephense.html

Although last time I did this test phpactor's performance noticeably lagged and that post does not talk about performance at all. I *want* to use phpactor because it's #openSource

Which is best for you and what do you like about it? There's PHPStan too but I'm never sure if that's something different or an equivalent. Boosts welcome

#PHP

Ce matin, j'ai fait un test de performance pour savoir s'il était préférable d'appeler une fonction ou de faire un include (j'ai tendance à faire cela dernièrement dans mes développements #translucide

Ma première observation est que l'utilisation de fonction est plus efficiente.

J'ai compilé mon test ici : https://framagit.org/librae/tests-performance-php

Efficiently handle large datasets, huge files and data streams with PHP generators. #PHP
https://dev.to/robertobutti/efficiently-handle-large-datasets-huge-files-and-data-streams-with-php-generators-4ajf

"Generators" are a powerful tool in PHP when working with large or streamed datasets. They help improve memory efficiency, performance, and scalability, making them a great alternative to traditional array-based processing.

Do you already use generators in your projects?

https://dev.to/robertobutti/efficiently-handle-large-datasets-huge-files-and-data-streams-with-php-generators-4ajf

Yes, ask the #PHP guy to do C# and know #Java... No wonder you found no one for the job.
