Reliability builds trust, but overdoing it can quietly reduce your perceived value. Sometimes being slightly less available signals that your time matters. Balance consistency with boundaries because respect often grows where access is earned, not given.


Feels surprisingly fun dialing up PHPStan's level, seeing a flood of errors, and slowly working your way through them one by one. You start catching all these tiny things you'd never notice otherwise. Some of these stuffs would've only surfaced during runtime. Currently…

I disagree. PHP isn't actually slow...at least not compared to other scripting languages. The "PHP is slow" take mostly comes from really old benchmarks or bad setups. It's true that it's not asynchronous by default, but that's also by design and there are upsides to that…

php has gained a reputation for being slow, and the team doesn't seem to care about that. It is not asynchronous by default. The nomenclature is confusing, it seems that there is still no standard. These things drive people away and they don't even try to get to know it.



It may be a hot take, and may not even directly answer the question you asked, but I've noticed what feels like a growing gap between the PHP and Laravel communities. Laravel has such a strong identity now that sometimes it feels like the community revolves around Laravel itself…

I think we, as Laravel/PHP community, have a problem. I don't see many new/young devs starting with Laravel. I also heard the same topic expressed by Taylor, Jeffrey, Nuno in podcasts. Question: what can I/we do to promote PHP/Laravel to outsiders? Let's brainstorm.

I think finance is one thing I have seen most tech people fail at and I wouldn’t blame them the lifestyle inflation just creeps on them suddenly. If I may add you also don’t need to announce all your wins here, announce if you want to, but it’s not an obligation.

It’s very easy to get carried away with the glitz and glamour of being in tech but I am here to beg you. Once you get your first steady job in tech. Save like your life depends on it. Don’t immediately upgrade your gadget because you saw your mentor or peers doing it. Save o

My hot take is when people are comfortable, they throw hot takes around. It’s not the devs, it’s the market. It’s also a tight market for experienced devs. It’s a combination of an ai plus a post covid market. Easily one of the worst periods for devs.


You just can't be uniquely weird in this space 🤌🏽🤌🏽😂. I thought it's just me....."Breathe in each time we pass the shadow cast by electric poles" 😭😭

Just watching Beast Games now after the release, and seeing the two deceitful brothers get eliminated in that mind game gave me so much satisfaction I didn't expect to have 😂 😂 🤌🏽🤌🏽


The way we deify men sometimes is just outrageous. It is God who works, your priest or pastor is God's vessel and all glory belongs to God, not man. Stop worshipping men in God's stead please

Pastor Jerry did not even open his eyes The fire in that man’s body I am sure the devil hate to see him coming You can just tell he causes so much uproar in that realm What a man #HallelujahChallengeOCT2025
