Feeling particularly impressed by and grateful for @packagist today.

Amidst the craziness of upgrading PHP and deploying all our microservices at the most critical release window, with everyone doing the same, everything went smoothly.

Thank you! 🙏

I jotted down my thoughts on what I learned rewriting @PhpSpec with coding agents as the target user, what do I see the new bottleneck in software development is, and why engineering practices matter more than ever.

RTK is cool

[PapiAI @PapiAiPhp]

Blogged: Papi has an RTK adapter

[PapiAI @PapiAiPhp]

PapiAI 0.15 is out across 19 packages.

One effort scale across every provider.
Forced tool choice, answered by type not a boolean.
Codebase ingestion on a token budget.
Token optimisation for noisy command output.

Still zero runtime deps in the core.

My new book is now on amazon (https://t.co/mFcVBK4FJ3).

If you are into Sanskrit or South Asia theology and ancient history (who isn’t, right? 🙂) you can check it out. It is partly a memoir, with bits of my monastery years.

Namaste! 🕉️ 🙏

This is a win for php 8.6

I wrote a proof of concept for a new version of @phpspec that let you use AI for pair programming.

See the RFC/proposal here https://t.co/vC1N43ExQT

I also put together a site to showcase the new features

Please give me feedback? Retweet for reach?

New blog post: PapiAI vs Neuron AI
Two PHP agentic frameworks, different philosophies.

A comparison of Papi with @Laravel AI here https://t.co/OnEXqIlMcX

[Marcello Duarte @_md]

I wrote PapiAI, a library to build AI applications with PHP. Also wrote a book to help you use the library with either vanilla, Symfony or Laravel apps.

Let me know your thoughts!

After coding this thing for 9 years, I decided it’s time to have a website haha

Check it out! https://t.co/YFQc4meUEu

Thanks to @andypost_ @jrf_nl @torchello and the wider community ❤️

[Marcello Duarte @_md]

Thanks to @[email protected] and @[email protected] with their help with getting @PhpSpec 7.6.0 out, adding compatibility with PHPUnit 11 and 12.

[Pλunkie @PhunkiePhp]

This weekend (with the help of Cursor AI) I added some documentation to one of my open source projects.

Have a look if you are interested in Functional Programming: https://t.co/K9CHo26zUH

[Marcello Duarte @_md]

@GildasQ @PhpSpec @GildasQ should be fixed now https://t.co/XZiGDBmckP

[Marcello Duarte @_md]

Have a look on this @PhpSpec extension that uses AI to suggests what spec to write next.

https://t.co/ua9g70aBKi

Hope you have fun. Let me know yours thoughts!

[Marcello Duarte @_md]

@Stof70 @GildasQ @PhpSpec Argh! didn't commit. Ok, fixed in 1.0.4.

[Marcello Duarte @_md]

@GildasQ @PhpSpec Ah, looks like you left the configuration variable in phpspec.yml. If you want the extension to use the env variable just delete the api key configuration. Maybe, I need to be clearer in the documentation.

[Marcello Duarte @_md]

@GildasQ @PhpSpec No need for the ticket. I will have a look. 👍
