In 1994, software was dead. People told me programming was for nerds and that I should become a doctor or a lawyer instead.
In 2004, software was dead. People told me that someone from India would take my job for $5/hour.
In 2014, software was dead. People told me that no-code was going to kill every job and doom my career.
In 2024, software was dead with Devin, Windsurf, Copilot, and OpenAI o1.
We kill software every 10 years, and yet the demand for good Software Engineers has never been higher.

Creator of Sqlite on pull requests: "You say, oh, it's free. No. It's not free. What you're doing is asking me ... to maintain it for you, to to document it for you, to test it for you, to maintain it for you for the next 25 years. That's not free." Yep.
Wise words from a wiser man than me. I've told people for the past decade and I have recent posts on here saying the same: the merge button is the easy part. Its the decade+ (Richard says 25 years) that follows where you've accepted the transfer of maintenance thats hard.

mdparser 0.3.0 adds two HTML-postprocess flags every CMS asks for: GitHub-style heading IDs, and rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" on every emitted link.
Both off by default. Pure HTML post-pass; AST and XML output unaffected.

php_clickhouse 0.8.1: stable.
A soft fork of SeasClick (stalled since 2020) on top of ClickHouse's official clickhouse-cpp v2.6.1 client. Native binary protocol, modern ClickHouse types, ZTS support, TLS, ~30-40% faster than HTTP clients at high throughput.
Three releases since the 0.6.0 launch six days ago. API gap with smi2/phpClickHouse closed.

If you use GitHub (especially if you pay for it!!) consider doing this *immediately*
Settings -> Privacy -> Disallow GitHub to train their models on your code.
GitHub opted *everyone* into training. No matter if you pay for the service (like I do). WTH

So many business owners (but also others who have never written a line of code) like to tell software developers how easy, fast, and maybe even redundant their job is getting with AI. So few developers tell the same to them.
It looks like a projection, not prophecy 🤔

I definitly see the value of JSON Path as we use already JSON Path definitions conditional JS validation.
For JSON API Testing I can recommend @norbert_tech coduo/php-matcher package for testing the whole response instead just parts.

Flow #PHP still missing a key feature: parallel processing.
I'm delving into research to tackle this.
I've started a conversation on our Discord server! (link below)

Hey there 👋
Have you heard about #PHPersSummmit? It is an awesome conference, and we are still waiting for extraordinary speakers to take our stage!
CFP🔗: summit.phpers.pl/en/call-for…
See you in Poznań, on the 23rd of May at the biggest PHP-oriented conference in Poland!

It's designed for handling reading/writing large files 👌
Flow #php comes with its own filesystem library! But why, when there is already an excellent flysystem?
Flow filesystem is designed for parallel reading and writing (this is, however, still implemented synchronously).
It's for more advanced use cases than typical "get me a remote file content".
The main design goal was to allow reading remote files through a byte range (from X to Y bytes) which flysystem does not support.
It's not an alternative, it’s a different tool with a different purpose.

It would be nice if you could create a native PHP extension with just a couple lines of code without ever being exposed to misery of C, preprocessor macros and putrid guts of PHP engine.
Now you can with my little library github.com/kaja47/phpmod.d

I've recently been looking into ETL processes and data migrations and found there's a nice PHP package that is helpful with this. @flowphp

If you blame climate change or “weather manipulation” for every weather anomaly, you are an intellectually lazy and uncurious person.
