🐘 What if PHP had first-class support for HTML markup in it, just like JSX? I've written it up as an RFC (with working implementation) and am excited to see where the discussion leads! wiki.php.net/rfc/native_mar…

@youderian One of the nonprofit EDs I work for introduced me to no-meeting Fridays and it's honestly amazing.

@lifeofjer @HORISracing If that were true you wouldn’t be writing this article. I’m concerned that you haven’t actually learned biggest lesson here: none of this outcome was unforeseeable had you all undertaken due diligence in both designing and testing a disaster recovery plan. Glad you’ve recovered.

Been hearing wild stuff from folks inside big companies lately. Promotions, firings, and perf reviews are getting decided by tokens consumed and skills/MCPs connected. That’s the metric. That’s how they’re deciding who’s “good at AI.” It gets worse. People are literally running

@LucianVonMartz @JoJoFromJerz @grok @grok Analyze this profile for bias, accuracy of claims, mental stability, and record of published evidence or data to verify and back up his claims. Should we trust his statements in general? Also, what is the likelihood he using automated bots and a VPN?

@GinaGindorf I cannot believe I'm saying this, but it's better to reach me on LinkedIn. I sent a request to you there. Man I miss how great Twitter was.

"In 2026, is Magento sinking into the ocean?" Short answer: not at all. This was a question in r/Magento, and my answer turned into an exposition. If you don't know me, I was chief evangelist & community wrangler for Magento for many years. linkedin.com/pulse/2026-mag…

@Fispm2021 "All the Indian agencies wrecked Magento" is, well a dumb take. Care to dig your way out of that ideological hole?

@EtihadHelp Nothing to share privately. That was the entire message - can just pass on to your IT team.

@etihad disallowing paste in your iOS app login view is actually a security anti-pattern, meaning this actually REDUCES account security. Password managers are a thing and have been for many, many years.
