I'm giving an online talk on Wednesday! You can sign up here if this sounds like a talk that interests you:

Unblocking the terminal - Async Prompts in Laravel with Len Woodward https://t.co/qtAspaPkYY #Meetup via @Meetup

[Len Woodward @ProjektGopher]

There’s some hidden risks to ‘stable’ software. Learn from our mistakes

[Artisan Build @ArtisanDotBuild]

A stable web app that you never have to touch should be the dream. But most of us only ever update our apps when we have to actually work on them. Those apps that just hum away happilly, leaving you alone for months at a time might be infested with vulnerabilities.

[Len Woodward @ProjektGopher]

Ed and I rely on our artisan-build/fat-enums package in nearly every project we work on. If you want to know why, then keep an eye out for this one

[Artisan Build @ArtisanDotBuild]

Ed is talking Fat Enums at the Laravel Denmark meetup in Copenhagen tomorrow.

The short version: most devs use Enums as constants. Fat Enums carry behaviour too and that distinction matters. More on this after the talk.

@brendt_gd “Salutations, 6 year olds! Who wants to see me process 6 MILLION records per SECOND?!”

[Len Woodward @ProjektGopher]

@jeffrey_way @PovilasKorop I totally agree. I think the long form videos that will succeed now will be more geared towards architectural decisions, and how to keep large apps ai compatible by following good patterns, and ruthlessly guiding ai along the implementation

[Len Woodward @ProjektGopher]

Maybe the real consciousness was the tokens we made along the way

[Grady Booch @Grady_Booch]

I have discovered a truly marvelous way to make my AI conscious, but I have run out of tokens.

[Len Woodward @ProjektGopher]

@joshcirre @peterramsing Mine was called conductor. But yeah Liam built one too. I might pick mine up again at some point because I have plans to make it integrate for natively with composer. https://t.co/ZO6NPLF0rn

[Len Woodward @ProjektGopher]

@aschmelyun I bet that an animation even this simple was so much fun

[Len Woodward @ProjektGopher]

@jeffrey_way I wrote Whisky specifically for this!

Hey @dr4goonis I found a scratch file in a project of mine reminding me to ping you when I launch Resonance. Well, uh, it’s been like a year and a half but I’ve finished it, haha. https://t.co/dEYu7x1i9n

[Len Woodward @ProjektGopher]

@paulredmond When I get a moment to breathe I’ve got “final orbit” by cmdr Chris Hadfield on my coffee table. Excited to dig into that one. I hope it’s good

[Len Woodward @ProjektGopher]

Looks like I'm headed to Boston in a few months

[Len Woodward @ProjektGopher]

I posted my RFC to r/php and there is some absolutely spirited discussion around it.
https://t.co/UCJYmTGR2j

[Len Woodward @ProjektGopher]

I’m positive I’ll regret this, but I’ve posted this week’s two videos of mine to Reddit. Let’s see how it goes…

[Len Woodward @ProjektGopher]

I have a completed rfc ready to go, but I'm feeling overwhelmed by the number of steps needed to get it considered. Does anyone have a link to some literal step by step guide on getting your rfc submitted so that I can overcome my executive disfunction here?

[Alexandre Daubois @alexdaubois]

My very first #RFC was accepted unanimously for the next version of #PHP!

See you in PHP 8.6 👋

[Len Woodward @ProjektGopher]

The problem these changes solve weren’t obvious to me at first, but TJ is doing some really good work here. This system is so well thought out

[TJ @heytjmiller]

Iterating hard on Truths, massive improvements! Blog post tomorrow!

[Len Woodward @ProjektGopher]

@mateusjatenee I’ve never had enough time to execute on my experiments before. I feel like a superhero right now

[Len Woodward @ProjektGopher]

@aschmelyun So cool! I was going to use that extension to make a front end for my pure php Tetris implementation. Hadn’t even considered that we could simply emulate the 6502 and load the ROMs directly!

[Len Woodward @ProjektGopher]

@Sairahcaz2k Thx, man! It's been really fun to build

[Len Woodward @ProjektGopher]

I've been building a layered rendering engine and component library for building TUI applications named Parfait.

Here's a sneak peek!

[Len Woodward @ProjektGopher]

@faissaloux Je vois ce que tu as fait là 😅

[Len Woodward @ProjektGopher]

@m1guelpf love experimenting with crazy stuff
