Dad of 2. Tech Lead. Building AI systems with AI. Building TetherPHP.

I'm reviving TetherPHP.

This time, I'm building it from the ground up around 6 principles that I think a modern PHP framework should follow.

They're less about adding more features, and more about how a framework should be designed in the age of AI.

Here are the 6 principles 👇

@synthwavedd I’m sure I noticed something similar with Claude Fable 5.1

One day it’s mind blowing, the next it’s like it had regressed to level seen a year ago.

@levelsio Most applications will be reduced to a text box - we won’t need fancy UIs. Just AI apps connecting with external APIs and MCP services.

@hey_madni Fingerprint magnet

@johncrickett The question no one seems to have asked them is, "What's the tipping point?"

Without an answer to that, saying the world is going to end, or AI will kill us all, is baseless.

[Dillon @DillonDevStuff]

@systemdesignone Ha, silly joke. A lot of Python packages are written in either C or Rust.

[Dillon @DillonDevStuff]

@taylorotwell Same thing can be said about the code

[Dillon @DillonDevStuff]

@zerohedge Although something is needed, it would impede on innovation

[Dillon @DillonDevStuff]

@Pallavi_345 It's good to see PHP getting the recognition it deserves, but this looks more like a popularity tier list to me.

[Dillon @DillonDevStuff]

@moshhamedani Vibe coding != crappy end product.

Seems like the level of QA from the developer, and lack of testing is to blame here.

[Dillon @DillonDevStuff]

@Austen AI should help reduce tech debt, not inflate it. If your accumulating more tech debt with agentic software development, your doing it wrong.

@ben_sage A bunch of jobs prefixed with AI *

@MKBHD Since hearing the name, can’t get this out my mind

[Dillon @DillonDevStuff]

About 10 years ago, frontend web development was a tricky path to traverse.

The framework wars.

New frameworks dropped almost weekly. The worry was spending the time learning and implementing technologies that would soon be obsolete.

I spent the better part of a year learning and implementing Angular, and Angular is BIG.

I have nothing against Angular, but I should have spent that time learning Vue.

I use Vue every day now, but at the time I was sure Angular, supported by Google, would be the go-to.

[Dillon @DillonDevStuff]

@jrya7 because the world needs more of those

[Dillon @DillonDevStuff]

Speed of AI needs to be improved.

I want to go home. Waiting for Claude to finish.

[Dillon @DillonDevStuff]

Just ask Claude for more tokens, thank me later.

@markproduct $800 p/m

Depending where you live, that's not going to stretch very far.

@romxdev When were Github stars a measure for code quality ?

@matthias_mrc I just prompt and go to sleep
