How do technology and trust create safer shopping centers?Security is easy to notice after something goes wrong. The harder question is whether owners and operators are doing enough before that moment arrives.Chris Ressa talks with Mark Bradshaw, vice president of property management at DLC, and Paul Ganz, vice president of business market development at LiveView Technologies, about how retail properties can reduce risk without making customers feel like they are entering a fortress.The answer is not another camera. It is a layered security strategy built around deterrence, technology, property operations, law enforcement, and community relationships.Ganz brings an unusually broad perspective. He spent 13 years as a police officer before moving into retail loss prevention, supply chain, store operations, and corporate security. Bradshaw brings the owner-operator view, including how DLC uses mobile security units for more than surveillance. The same equipment can help property managers monitor vendors, assess weather conditions, inspect work, and maintain visibility across a geographically dispersed portfolio.The conversation also gets honest about artificial intelligence. AI can already identify loitering, unauthorized access, and other predefined behaviors without forcing someone to stare at a wall of screens. But the technology still cannot replace human judgment, direct a complete response, or build the local relationships that make security programs work.That distinction matters now. Retail centers are private property designed for public use. Owners need to protect tenants and customers while preserving a welcoming environment. Deploy too little security, and risk grows. Deploy too much without a strategy, and customers may assume the property is unsafe.The strongest takeaway is simple: security is not a product purchase. It is an operating discipline. The best results come when property owners, technology providers, guards, police departments, and local communities share information, test assumptions, and solve problems together before an incident forces the conversation at each retail property.What you'll hearWhy deterrence is difficult to measure—and still essential to a retail security strategyHow owners can “harden” a property without making it feel unwelcomingWhy cameras, guards, environmental design, and operating protocols must work togetherHow DLC uses mobile security units to monitor vendors, weather, property conditions, and security risksWhat AI can already identify, including loitering, unauthorized access, and suspicious behaviorWhere AI still falls short and why human judgment remains criticalHow relationships with police departments, local officials, HOAs, and customers can reveal security gapsHow mobile technology helped law enforcement combat illegal dumping across vacant county landWhy more visible security does not always make customers feel saferWhat separates a technology vendor from a true strategic partnerChapters 02:17 — Meet Mark Bradshaw and Paul Ganz The guests share their paths through property management, law enforcement, loss prevention, retail operations, and security.03:46 — What LiveView Technologies does Paul explains how mobile security units bring camera technology, analytics, and deterrence to locations without traditional infrastructure.05:05 — Can deterrence actually be proven? The group examines how owners measure the value of preventing an event that never occurred.08:19 — Why mobile security towers were created Construction theft and infrastructure gaps created the need for security technology that could operate remotely.10:14 — Why retail security requires layers Mark explains how cameras, guards, property design, alerts, and physical response work together.12:17 — What happens when the system detects suspicious behavior Paul breaks down the progression from flashing lights and audio warnings to alerts and human intervention.14:43 — What AI can—and cannot—do AI can recognize predefined behaviors, but its reliability and role within a broader security strategy still require scrutiny.17:49 — How DLC uses LiveView beyond security Mark discusses using mobile units to monitor vendors, inspect work, track weather, and provide visibility across DLC's portfolio.21:16 — Why community relationships matter Mark shares how working with police, local leaders, HOAs, tenants, and customers helps owners identify and address problems.25:40 — Helping law enforcement solve problems faster Paul describes how LVT technology helped identify illegal dumping activity across thousands of acres of vacant land.27:14 — Sharing camera access with police The guests discuss evidence requests, property-owner authorization, and controlled access during active incidents.28:50 — Can too much security backfire? Visible technology can reassure customers—or signal that a property is unsafe if it is deployed without a clear strategy.30:41 — The next real breakthrough for AI Paul explains how AI could move from detecting activity to providing actionable information and anticipating similar risks.33:28 — Why people will remain part of the solution Mark and Paul make the case for combining technology with human judgment, local knowledge, and strategic partnership.
In this episode, Colonel Chevasco “Chevy” Cook sits down with MWI's Charlie Faint to recount a career that took him from a South Carolina JROTC classroom to West Point and then on to combat deployments, the psychological operations career field, academia, and ultimately the Joint Staff, where he advised senior national security leaders on nonkinetic effects. Chevy reflects on how early mentors, wartime service, and unconventional assignments taught him to see military problems from increasingly broader perspectives, describing his philosophy that luck is really the combination of preparation and opportunity. He discusses the distinctive role of psychological operations, where influence and communication can accomplish national-level missions without relying on lethal force, as well as his work integrating capabilities such as cyber, space, deception, and information operations to provide strategic options for national leaders. The conversation also explores his commitment to education, professional writing, character development, and mentorship, including his belief that leaders must be capable communicators and continually level up as their responsibilities grow. Chevy closes by encouraging young leaders to understand who they authentically are without allowing their present identity to limit who they can become, emphasizing a career-long theme of preparation, intellectual growth, service, and investment in others.

Grace Belangia didn't build her startup ecosystem in Silicon Valley. She built it in Augusta, Georgia, a city with medical, military, and energy communities but no established tech community. On Getting Rich Together, host Syama Bunten talks with the cofounder and executive board member of Make Startups about her path from writing angel checks on her own to becoming an LP in a VC fund. Grace traces her money instincts back to her mother, an immigrant who taught her that saving and investing are two different things. That lesson followed her into a research role at a private equity firm in her twenties, where she saw firsthand how the investment world worked and started learning how capital actually moves. She talks through how she learned to angel invest through Pipeline Angels, what it took to learn the space through a six-month investing cohort, and why she eventually expanded from direct angel investing into funds run by managers she trusts. She also explains economic mobility through entrepreneurship and the philosophy she calls reserve and deploy. If angel investing for women feels out of reach, or you're curious about what it takes to become an LP in a venture capital fund, this conversation lays out the real path Grace took.

PHP Podcast – August 13, 2026 Hosts: Eric Van Johnson & John Congdon Eric and John reunite after weeks apart to talk Laracon in Boston, more diverse voices coming to this time slot, CPX finally giving PHP an npx, a stripped-down PHPStorm Light, and PHP Tek’s extended CFP. Stepping Back to Make Room for More Voices Eric and John open by explaining a shift in the show: they’re not disappearing, but they’re stepping back a little so more people from the PHP Architect team can take the mic. As John put it, the goal is “more diverse voices of the community,” and folks like Joe, Sarah, and Holly have been stepping into this time slot. Eric and John have committed to appearing at least once a month, since they have the most holistic view of what’s happening across the company. When they’re on, expect the “inside baseball” episodes — the behind-the-scenes look at what PHP Architect is up to. The rest of the time, this slot will keep going with other hosts, so the show never goes dark. They also reminded listeners there’s both a live stream and an audio RSS feed. Some folks apparently only recently discovered the audio version, while longtime audio listeners never realize the show streams live. Either way, head to phparch.com, click on podcasts, and you’ll find every way to subscribe. Eric’s Laracon Boston Recap Eric attended Laracon in Boston and, as always, has a love/hate relationship with it. On the plus side, it’s where he catches up with a lot of friends, and the talks were solid — Pauline Voss gave a great presentation on JJ (Jujutsu) and atomic commits, and Nuno showed off Pest 5. Eric noted the framework itself is moving much slower now, which is actually a good thing for anyone running a business on it, even if it makes the conference less essential-viewing than it once was. The venue was industrial and good-looking with a fantastic stage setup, but seating was a genuine problem this year. Eric arrived late to Nuno’s talk and there was nowhere to sit; the team scrambled to bring in more chairs. When it rained on day two, they ran out again. Despite that, staying in the same hotel as folks like Eric Barnes, TJ, Jake Bennett, and Michael Dorinda made for the kind of hallway-and-breakfast camaraderie he values most. Eric also hit the social events he usually skips — he sat out dodgeball (bad knees, slip-on shoes, and being a big target), but went to the Laracon Prom, which required an RSVP and an approved request. It turned out to be way cooler than expected, with people fully decked out, DJs, and an after-party plus a VIP dinner where Laravel’s marketing team worked the room. He also caught up with folks like Matthew Weier O’Phinney of Zend/Perforce and had a chat with Taylor. Running the Laravel Magazine Site and Taylor’s Blessing Eric shared that PHP Architect is now running the Laravel Magazine website, which previously belonged to Marijn (Marion) Pop. He’s been publishing tutorials, keeping things current, and making changes to the site he’s proud of. The articles are short, quick reads — and one of the Laravel wrap-up pieces mirrors the same article on the PHP Architect site. At the after-party dinner, Eric took the opportunity to run the name past Taylor directly, since he wasn’t sure the original owner had ever gotten official approval to use the Laravel name for a magazine. Taylor’s response was essentially “that’s fine, don’t worry about it” — so Laravel Magazine lives on. Eric even set up a newsletter signup, though he admits he’s not sure yet whether he’ll actually send a newsletter. CPX — A PHP-World npx One of Eric’s favorite discoveries from Laracon was CPX, essentially the PHP equivalent of npx. Just as npx lets you run JavaScript packages without installing them into a specific project, CPX lets you run tools without a global composer install or a per-project dependency. Eric already swapped his global PHP CS Fixer and Laravel Pint setup over to CPX aliases, so he now always runs the latest version without dependency headaches. John pushed back a bit, pointing out that tools like PHP unit and Rector usually live in your vendor directory anyway because your CI pipeline depends on them. Eric agreed that’s a valid workflow, but framed CPX as ideal for the occasional-use tools and for lowering the barrier for people outside the PHP world who want to dip in without fully committing. Chat chimed in with Rector as a great CPX use case, and they walked through examples like spinning up a fresh Laravel app. Laravel LSP and PHP Storm Light Eric was genuinely excited that Laravel now has its own Language Server Protocol. Most IDEs had already built their own Laravel-aware workarounds, but for Eim’s Neovim setup, the LSP finally makes things like jumping from a route to the view it points to work correctly — something PHP Storm had solved long ago but Vim hadn’t. He also spotted something called PHP Storm Light at the JetBrains booth: a trimmed-down, experimental build with faster startup, lower memory, and fewer features. It’s available through the Toolbox app as an EAP, so it’s free and explicitly experimental. John, who’d been hitting memory limits in regular PHP Storm, decided to install it on the spot, and Joe mentioned using it for one-off file edits — sparking a conversation about whether it fills the gap left by JetBrains’ old standalone editor. PHP Tek CFP Extended + Ticket Options John announced that the PHP Tek call for speakers has been extended through October 31st. The team experimented with opening the CFP very early this year to help attendees whose fiscal-year approvals depend on a locked schedule, but the community felt it was too early to know what would be relevant next April. So they extended the window and made cfp.phptek.io point straight to the call for presenters (thanks to a suggestion from A. Woods). On tickets, they’ve broken out a bundle that includes hotel nights so attendees can hand their boss a single lump-sum figure (airfare not included). There are also food-and-beverage-only tickets for partners and kids, single-day track options, and dedicated days for Laravel, JavaScript, and DevOps — one track each, with the other two tracks running the usual PHP Tek content. John flagged a possible issue with DevOps being the default CFP track, since it’s pulling in a flood of generic, seemingly AI-submitted talks he’ll need to sort through.

AI can help you move faster—but speed alone does not guarantee better results.In this episode, Holly sits down with Cris Valerio, founder of Main Street Operator, to explore how small business owners can use AI more thoughtfully, strategically, and confidently.After building her career as a financial journalist and working in product roles at companies like Uber and Instacart, Cris left corporate life to create a business that brings enterprise-level AI and operational strategy to Main Street businesses.Together, Holly and Cris unpack the difference between experimenting with AI and actually deploying it inside your business. They also discuss why adding AI to one random task can make an entire workflow more complicated, how “lazy AI” can damage customer trust, and why the best AI systems should create more opportunities for meaningful human connection.00:00:00 — Meet Cris Valerio and learn how she brings big-tech AI strategy to small businesses00:01:30 — What it means to build a life-first business without shrinking your ambition00:03:00 — Leaving corporate life while supporting a family and raising two young children00:04:30 — Cris's journey from financial journalism to Silicon Valley product leadership00:06:00 — Why Cris wanted to build technology for operators instead of only customers00:07:30 — How AI is narrowing the technology and cost gap for small businesses00:09:00 — The difference between playing with AI and deploying it inside your company00:10:30 — Why curiosity and experimentation make learning technology easier00:12:00 — What shadow AI is and why your business needs clear AI policies00:13:30 — How poorly implemented AI can damage the customer experience00:15:00 — Why “lazy AI” can cost you clients, partnerships, and trust00:16:30 — The problem with bolting AI onto one isolated part of a workflow00:18:00 — How thoughtful automation can create more human conversations00:19:30 — Build a transferable AI “business brain” with a simple folder system00:21:00 — A practical AI workflow for networking and follow-up emails00:22:30 — Why AI is simultaneously overhyped and underestimated00:24:00 — Why speed is not the most important measure of AI ROI00:25:30 — Using AI tools that take action instead of only generating ideas00:27:00 — The least glamorous part of entrepreneurship: finding your sales loop00:28:30 — Why Cris chose a smaller, more diverse community of ambitious women00:30:00 — What Cris wishes she had known before starting her business00:31:30 — How to identify where AI can help—and what not to spend money onCONNECT WITH CRIS:Website: mainstreet-operator.comInstagram: @mainstreetoperator Edge Audit: Mainstreet-operatorThe AI Edge Audit — Free Download | Main Street Operator — Main Street OperatorPrivate Podcast: Mainstreet-operatorPrivate Podcast — Main Street Operator
Democratic voters in NH's first congressional must soon decide; the ACLU challenges NH's policing of homeless under loitering law, and how to enjoy the Perseids meteor shower this month.
https://teachhoops.com/ If you audit a standard, average basketball practice on a cold Tuesday afternoon in January, you will see a gym overflowing with unintentional friction. You will witness coaches who blow the whistle to deliver ten-minute lectures while twelve players stand completely still, watching their core body temperatures plummet. You will see long, single-file lines where athletes wait passively for two minutes just to take a single, un-contested layup. And you will see head coaches screaming directives on every single possession, acting as a human joystick while their players move like robotic actors. They don't do this maliciously; they do it because "clean" practices feel like real coaching. But when you step into the "Truth Room," you realize that allowing these subtle habits to exist introduces a massive operational leak into your culture. In this episode of Coach Unplugged, recorded live at 5th Quarter Studios in Madison, Wisconsin, Coach Collins flips the clipboard around to outline the non-negotiable Things We Should Avoid at Practice. We break down the absolute poison of low activity density, single-file lines, zero-decision choreography, and coach-fed joystick directives. Discover how purging these six destructive habits from your 120-minute practice script will instantly elevate your team's independent Decision IQ, maximize your game-night Effective Field Goal Percentage ($eFG%$), and slide your roster into an unshakeable, player-led standard. To protect your program's unyielding Standard of Tolerance and maximize your team's long-term Resilience Equity, your staff must actively purge these six operational traps from every single practice block: The Leak: Stopping practice to deliver exhaustive, lecture-heavy monologues while players stand frozen on the baseline. The Fix: Banish long huddles during active blocks. Deploy rapid, 60-second "drive-by" socratic corrections on the move. Let The Organizer on your staff police the clock while you deliver sharp, high-signal cues that keep the gears turning. The Leak: Setting up drills where one athlete executes a rep while eleven peers stand behind a cone watching passively. The Fix: Enforce a strict Multi-Ball architecture across all court baskets. Ensure that at least $70%$ of your roster is catching, cutting, or passing concurrently to eliminate hidden boredom leaks and maximize your gym's Activity Density. The Leak: Running scripted, zero-defense drills where the pass, cut, and finish are predetermined before the ball is even inbounded. The Fix: Corrupt every drill with live variables. Add a defender, add a decision, or add a competitive consequence. Force your players to scan live bodies, read collapsing defender hips, and solve dynamic spatial puzzles. The Leak: Screaming instructions on every bounce ("Pass left! Cut now! Shoot it!"), stripping your athletes of their independent decision-making capabilities. The Fix: Put your whistle in your pocket during Small-Sided Games ($SSGs$). Allow your players to fail, adapt, and communicate coverages through the exhaust. Shift your culture from coach-fed compliance to a Player-Led powerhouse. The Leak: Allowing players to shoot comfortable, zero-friction catch-and-shoot jumpers off gentle feeds from a standing passer. The Fix: Require active footwork, spatial cutting geometry, and live high-hands closeouts on every perimeter shot. Game-night shooting efficiency is built through high-stress, contextual repetitions. The Leak: Blowing the whistle to run baseline sprints as a blind punishment for a tactical error, completely severing the mental connection between effort and execution. The Fix: Embed physical strain directly into your competitive drills. If a team turns the ball over or fails to close out with High Hands, put them on defense in a live disadvantage scenario. Teach them how to execute under fatigue rather than just running mindlessly. We don't purge these practice leaks simply to look structured on paper. We eliminate them because dead time, low rep density, and robotic choreography directly destroy your team's mathematical output on Friday night. Every live closeout read, multi-ball pass, and rapid socratic correction directly impacts your team's Effective Field Goal Percentage ($eFG%$): When you replace choreography with functional friction during Tuesday's practice, you ensure that your team possesses the structural armor needed to convert high-efficiency looks under heavy postseason pressure. Coach's Note: "Your job as a program builder isn't to run a clean, tidy practice where everybody looks great doing choreographed routines; your job is to build players who can actually play basketball when you aren't saying a word. Stop standing at the whiteboard for ten minutes, stop letting kids stand in single-file lines, and stop playing the game for them from the baseline. Corrupt your drills, clean up your clock, demand high-hands discipline, and force your players to own the room." Title Ideas: 6 Things You MUST Avoid at Basketball Practice!

PHP Podcast – August 6, 2026 Hosts: Joe Ferguson, Sara Golemon & Holly Schilling A sick kitten steals the show, Sara loses a fight with her smart lights, PHP 8.6 beta is almost here, and the crew argues about roadmaps, deprecations, and why you shouldn’t be a meat proxy. Cats, Ice Cream, and Bobbleheads The episode opened with the usual chaos: Holly’s kitten Rosie made a full appearance, having spent the week battling a chest infection that turned into a sinus and ear infection and threw off her balance. Three vet visits later, Rosie was recovering but very cuddly — and apparently convinced Holly’s headset mic was a cat toy. Sara, catless but armed with ice cream, argued that ice cream beats cats because there’s no poop to clean up. The conversation spun into merchandise ideas after Eric dropped a photo of a bobblehead in the Discord. The crew riffed on 3D-printing speaker action figures and bobbleheads for the conference, with Holly getting Eric on record that it “would not be expensive” — a statement immediately screenshotted for posterity. Sara and Holly quickly reminded everyone that multicolor prints are their own painful challenge, and someone with Warhammer 40k painting patience would be required. PHP 8.6 Beta on the Horizon With 8.6 beta 1 landing a week out, the hosts walked through the highlights from the Stitcher.io “what’s new” write-up. Sara was excited about partial function application finally arriving, though Holly isn’t thrilled with the `…` syntax — but couldn’t propose a better one either. They dug into an earlier, unshipped design that used `$1`/`$2` positional placeholders (similar to Swift), and Joe kept circling back to Python-style named arguments before admitting he wasn’t entirely sure he was describing the right feature. They also covered read-only property defaults (a natural follow-on to 8.4’s property hooks on interfaces), the new polling API that’s largely future-facing for threading and concurrency work, the new `clamp()` function, and a long-overdue `Duration` class. Holly repeatedly questioned why something like `clamp()` needs to be in the language at all, with Sara conceding the point but noting PHP is a “kitchen sink language” and that ship has sailed. For `Duration`, Sara made the case that it genuinely belongs in core because it’s tied to the timezone knowledge baked into the underlying date/time library. Deprecations and the Two Populations of PHP Joe pulled up numbers comparing deprecation RFCs across recent versions — roughly 28 proposals for 8.6, 46 for 8.5, 26 for 8.4, just six for 8.3, and none actually voted on for 8.2 (which Sara guessed lined up with Nikita stepping back to work on LLVM, back when deprecations were called “Nikita’s hit list”). Many of the 8.6 deprecations, organized by Gina P. Banyard, aim to free up words to become reserved keywords in future versions. The `list()` deprecation came up as a sore spot: Holly would love to see it gone and never uses it in new code, while Joe worries the blast radius across legacy codebases is enormous. That led Sara to articulate the core tension: there are two very different populations of PHP users — the ones aggressively upgrading and adopting new features (the podcast’s audience), and the ones who just want to run their WordPress site without the language shifting under them. Both groups matter, and the language has to push forward without needlessly breaking the second group. The Roadmap Debate Building on deprecations, the crew wished aloud that PHP had something resembling a roadmap — not set-in-stone dates, but broad aims like “a feature like X might justify bumping to 9.” Joe suggested borrowing from game dev studios, who publish colorful roadmaps with rough years instead of hard dates and don’t crucify anyone when things slip. Holly noted that even the AI she was workshopping a blog post with warned that PHP internals doesn’t handle the word “roadmap” well and to assume any such proposal will fail. Sara, invoking her “lawyer’s advice” not to mention it was a recent meeting topic, pointed out the practical wrinkle: the foundation’s paid developers are largely self-directed, and no one is telling them what donors want them to build. Still, everyone agreed a shared set of goals would be valuable. Holly and Sara also gave a shout-out to the unsung, unsexy work — documentation, triage, bug fixing — that keeps the lights on, and to the foundation’s first quarterly progress report for showing what contractors are actually doing. Longhorn PHP and Travel Logistics Holly announced her Longhorn PHP talk, “That’s Your Website, Not Your Mobile App,” slotted at 2:30 in Austin on October 15–16. The talk is a venting session about her pet peeve: teams wrapping a Laravel/React/whatever website in a native shell and shipping it as an app without bridging the model differences — regardless of tech stack. She noted it’s her first time at Longhorn, though she recently spoke at a Chicago mobile developers meetup exactly one week shy of ten years after her last appearance there. The travel talk sprawled into a would-be road-trip convoy (picking up Joe in Memphis, A. Woods from New York, and even attempting to ferry Sara’s car across the ocean), plus a tangent on how absurdly expensive Amtrak is compared to flying — versus Sara’s 20-euro monthly rail pass in Portugal that covers the entire length of the country. Don’t Be a Meat Proxy The show closed on Niklas Gruhn’s blog post “Don’t Be a Meat Proxy,” which argues against copy-pasting raw AI output at other humans. Joe described his own workflow: read the AI feedback, condense and distill it, rewrite it, and clearly label anything unvetted (robot emoji included) so teammates know he hasn’t verified it yet. Sara pushed the point harder — if you’re just regurgitating what Claude or Gemini said, the person asking could have done that themselves, so you’re not adding value. Holly complicated it with real-world nuance: some coworkers ask questions they could’ve answered themselves, then call you rude when you give a condensed answer and keep poking at its edges. The crew acknowledged a whole gradient exists — from “let me Google that for you” territory to genuine “what’s the best way to approach X” conversations that aren’t fact lookups. Sara, self-professed AI hater, admitted the balance has shifted toward “just search it” because AIs are genuinely good at search — with plenty of deep irony noted about machines being good at reading and grokking information humans don’t want to. Bonus: Holly praised naming xAI’s bot “Grok” as genuinely clever.

A high income can make you comfortable. But recurring cash flow is what can make you free. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down how smart entrepreneurs turn the money they earn today into momentum, assets, and income streams that keep producing tomorrow. Because let's be real… Working hard is necessary in the beginning. But if your income disappears the second you stop working… You have not built real wealth yet. You have only built another job. In this episode, you'll learn: The difference between active income and passive infrastructure Why spending profits on lifestyle upgrades can delay financial freedom How income-producing assets create recurring monthly cash flow Why true freedom begins when your cash flow exceeds your living expenses How smart entrepreneurs use today's money to build tomorrow's leverage The truth is simple: Making money is only the first step. The next step is putting that money to work. Too many people earn more money and immediately upgrade the lifestyle. Bigger house. Nicer car. More toys. More expenses. But high-level operators think differently. They deploy the capital. They build the assets. They create systems. They turn profit into cash flow. And they use cash flow to buy back their time. Because real wealth is not just about how much money you make. It is about how much money keeps coming in when you are not actively working for it. That is the transition. From hustle to leverage. From income to ownership. From making money to building freedom. When you own the cash flow, you own your calendar. Deploy the capital. Build the assets. Create recurring income. And keep leveling up. Your Network is your NETWORTH!

PHP Alive and Kicking – August 4, 2026 Hosts: Chris Miller (standing in solo while Mike is on holiday) Mike escaped to a beach so Chris hosts alone with special guest Derick Rethans. Expect date-time philosophy, PHP 8.6 goodies, Xdebug secrets, deprecation drama, and a heated debate about how to queue at a pub. From University Websites to Committing to PHP Derick traces his PHP origins back to his university days, building websites that needed database connectivity. ASP.NET was an option, but nobody wanted to pay for it — Linux was cool, and PHP was easy to start using. That combination hooked him early. His very first accepted contribution came from a practical need: everyone wanted centered Shockwave Flash films on their pages, back before CSS even existed. Centering meant knowing the width of a file, and while getimagesize() already existed (and still works today), it didn’t understand Flash. Derick added that support. From there he fell into bug triage, spending several years working through the issue tracker alongside Jani Taskinen (whose “Sniper” name still shows up in commit logs). For a long time it was just the two of them reproducing and fixing bugs — an important task that gets neglected easily, which is exactly how backlogs of a thousand issues and pull requests build up. The Eternal Problem of Date and Time Chris and Derick dig into why date-time bugs are so hard to triage: date algorithms are genuinely complicated, and it takes real time to figure out whether a report is a user’s mistake or an actual PHP bug. Crashes are easy to reproduce; subtle date arithmetic is not. The core philosophical question is “what does adding a month even mean?” If it’s January 31st and you add a month, PHP historically just bumps the month number, producing February 31st, which overflows to March 2nd or 3rd. But most people who add a month really just want the next month and don’t care about day counts — so “next month” is conceptually distinct from “add a month.” Derick has been brainstorming better interfaces so people can’t make these mistakes, though it’s a lot of work. They touch on Carbon as a unified interface people understand, but agree that making Carbon the language standard isn’t the right move. At the language level you need something that works for everybody and ideally doesn’t break existing code. What’s Coming in PHP 8.6 The first new time class is landing: a Duration object representing seconds and nanoseconds within a specific range, living in the Time namespace. It’s a trial run for new APIs and immediately useful — for example, passing a duration to sleep or to timeouts in the new polling API, rather than juggling raw integers. Another highlight is partial function application. With the pipe operator from 8.5, piping into anything that takes more than one argument meant wrapping it in a closure (and extra parentheses because of how the parser works). Partials let you pre-fill some arguments so the resulting callable accepts just one — perfect for pipelines. There’s also TLS session resumption support for streams, which lets OpenSSL shortcut the expensive session setup on repeated TLS connections. Bigger stream-layer work by Jakub Zelenka of the PHP Foundation is underway too, but that’s a huge job on old code and won’t make 8.6 — Chris and Derick both note the pain of keeping a year-and-a-half-long project in sync with the master branch. Xdebug in 8.6 and the Xdebug Cloud Xdebug’s recent headline feature (shipped with 8.5) is native path mapping, which lets you configure remote-to-local path mappings inside Xdebug itself instead of your IDE — handy when your code runs in Docker or on a dev machine. Feedback since release is driving quality-of-life improvements. For 8.6, relatively little is broken, though a change to how PHP reports line numbers needs untangling so debugging stops on the correct lines. Derick also has a new code-coverage implementation that gives better, more correct results at roughly a 10% speed cost. He’d rather ship correct output than fast output — and points out that PHPCov may be quicker but skips path and branch coverage entirely. The pair discuss how branch coverage doubles your test count at every branching point, and how Xdebug has a hard limit (around 64K) to avoid running out of memory on pathological code. Finally, Chris asks about Xdebug Cloud — a paid service that enables debugging where networking otherwise wouldn’t, such as remote teams sharing a single development machine (an SSH tunnel only lets one person listen on the debug port). It’s £15/month or £150/year for an individual, priced similarly to Packagist’s private packages, and helps fund Derick’s ongoing Xdebug work. He plans to do more marketing about it this year. Deprecations, Consensus, and Two-Thirds Votes Every year PHP collects a big list of deprecations — around 20 to 25 this cycle — voted on separately. Derick is more reluctant than most to approve them, arguing many offer no clear user benefit. His examples: deprecating metaphone() (whose suggested Composer replacement ironically relies on the internal function) and the dechunk filter (which can’t really be removed because HTTP streams use it internally). The list() deprecation is another sore point — Chris uses it, and the vote is tied 21–21 with one abstention, so it won’t pass under the two-thirds rule. Derick reminds everyone that “yes” needs to be twice “no.” Returning from a finally block is another candidate that makes little sense to use but hurts nothing to keep. Chris and Derick reflect on how voting was originally meant to confirm consensus reached on the mailing list, not to be the decision itself. A 50%+1 result isn’t consensus; two-thirds is the compromise, even if true 75–80% agreement would be ideal. Joe notes many deprecations are groundwork to reserve keywords for future RFCs — which raises the perennial question of how you measure real-world usage across Composer’s dependency chains. Infrastructure, the Website, and the Next Generation The PHP infrastructure has been converted to an Ansible-based repository over the last year and a half (largely by Derick, with help from Joe), replacing a wild mix of individually maintained servers — one was still running FreeBSD 4.3. They’ve also migrated to a new CDN, which brought surprises: a default one-month cache, ignoring the query string in cache keys, and even dark/light mode being an organization-wide setting rather than per-user. On the website side, everything currently lives in a single root directory of 1999-vintage code, and there’s a long-pending patch to restructure it. The PHP Foundation’s ambassadors program — with speaking, marketing, and research streams — aims to make the very techy php.net homepage speak to CTOs and newcomers about who uses PHP and why it’s a thriving project (only 31-ish years old, versus C’s 60). The conversation closes on caretakers and the next generation of contributors. Triage, they stress, doesn’t require deep internals knowledge — just reading reports to see if they still make sense is hugely valuable. Security and infrastructure access necessarily stay gatekept for trust reasons, and both agree a bus factor of one (or even two) isn’t good enough. Chris admits he’s struggling to name people who are both nice and know infra.

Ryan Gariepy, VP of robotics at Rockwell Automation and chair of the Canadian Robotics Council, says Canada should make much greater use of drones to spot wildfires early and support firefighters on the ground. He argues the technology already exists, but it's being underused and could be better integrated across governments, industry, and the military. He also addresses where artificial intelligence fits in, the barriers to adoption, and whether robotics could help reduce the growing cost of wildfires.

At least four San Francisco Grocery Outlet stores have deployed SAFR facial recognition technology to identify repeat shoplifters — and privacy advocates are predictably outraged. This in a city that banned government use of facial recognition back in 2019, while simultaneously watching retailers hemorrhage thousands of dollars a day to brazen, consequence-free theft.The numbers tell the story clearly: a nearby Safeway was losing an estimated $7,000 per day to shoplifting before corporate pulled the plug. One documented offender had 77 known incidents on record. When the stores close, the neighborhood loses its grocery access — but the critics are busy worrying about camera databases. San Francisco's soft-on-crime political culture created this crisis; facial recognition is what fills the vacuum when the will to prosecute simply isn't there.The legal picture is complicated but revealing. Private businesses can still deploy this technology even after SF's 2019 public-sector ban. The EFF has raised misidentification concerns. The SAFR president has pushed back on fears about ICE data-sharing. It's a genuine debate — but it only exists because Sacramento and City Hall spent years refusing to enforce the law. Corporate fights back with cameras because city government checked out a long time ago.CHAPTERS0:00 San Francisco Grocery Outlets Deploy…1:44 SF Grocers Deploy Facial Recognition…2:15 Grocery Outlet Deploys Facial…3:08 We Already Have No Privacy Anywhere3:47 SF Grocery Outlets Build Shoplifter…4:30 Repeat Shoplifter Had 77 Known Incidents5:58 Can Stores Legally Ban Known Shoplifters6:44 SAFR on Data Sharing With Law…7:15 Facial Recognition Misidentifies Black…8:09 Security Cameras Already Dominate…10:10 Soft-on-Crime Laws Leave Stores…12:06 What Happens After Facial Recognition…13:01 Defund the Police Made Shoplifting Worse14:32 Is Crime Finally Trending Down in SFSubscribe to @reasonablenews for daily commentary on Pacific Northwest politics and national stories the mainstream media won't tell you straight.#NFRP #SanFrancisco #FacialRecognitionGO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS
The PHP Podcast – July 30, 2026 Hosts: Joe Ferguson, Sara Golemon & Holly Schilling Time travel is real, birds aren’t. The gang argues about Fahrenheit vs. Celsius, boiling rocks, and stones (the weight kind), then gets into PSR-3 logging, the PHP ecosystem, AI slop bug reports, Codeberg’s anti-AI stance, and Laravel Cloud’s scale-to-zero magic. Fahrenheit, Boiling Rocks, and Byte-Ordering Dates The show opened with Joe admitting he jumbles her hours, minutes, and seconds — and getting mocked by Europeans for a cache-control header PR on the PHP website. That kicked off a tangent about how the American month-day-year ordering is, as Sara put it, “middle-endian” nonsense that makes no sense as a byte ordering. From there the crew tumbled down a rabbit hole of measurement units. Joe planted his flag on Fahrenheit as the human-centered temperature scale, while Sara argued that if you stop being “speciesist” about it, water-based Celsius wins. The debate somehow escalated into whether rocks boil, with Google eventually schooling everyone that molten rock vaporizes north of 3,000°C (5,400°F), and a callback to British “stones” as boomer energy nobody younger than half a century actually uses. Proper Logging with PSR-3 Joe walked through Marco Pivetta’s blog post on proper logging with PSR-3, praising it as a great write-up on injecting loggers via dependency injection and the “some logs are better than no logs” philosophy. A common trap Marco calls out: apps stuffed with beautifully descriptive info-level logs that nobody ever sees because production never runs in info mode. The big selling point of sticking to a PSR-3-compatible interface is minimal dependencies — instead of pulling in three or four packages and wiring up a pile of configuration, the upstream decisions are already made for you. Holly pushed back on the ergonomics of `$this->logger->error()` feeling heavy for every log call, which spun off a delightfully unhinged RFC pitch: built-in emoji functions where the emoji logs an error and logs a panic. The Ecosystem Is Why People Stay The hosts pushed back on the recurring “PHP needs feature X because language Y has it” argument. Sara’s take: if another language is genuinely the better tool, nothing stops you from using it — and revamping PHP’s onboarding process is a far better way to attract newcomers than chasing features would-be developers may never even use. Holly cut to what everyone had glossed over: the ecosystem. You can write Swift on the server with Vapor, but you won’t have the libraries. Whatever you need in PHP, it already exists. A listener even pointed Joe at Brent Roose’s Tempest framework mid-stream to solve a code-highlighting problem on his blog. That gravitational pull of “whatever you need, it’s here” is what keeps people in the PHP orbit. AI, Layoffs, and Graybeards Sparked by Gemma’s blog post “Infrastructure and Other Paradoxes” — where an LLM cheerfully suggested folding four brand-new tools (Terraform, Nix, NixOS, Guix) into a team that’s expert in none of them — the crew dug into where AI helps and where it hurts. The consensus: AI is a force multiplier for research and analysis, but it can’t replace the human judgment of knowing what *not* to ship. Joe brought up an Inc.com article claiming 55% of leadership now regret their major layoffs, with companies like Ford rehiring graybeards because nobody left knew how the software worked. Holly noted this cycle isn’t new, just operating at a terrifying new scale, and Sara emphasized that AI accelerates shipping crap just as easily as it accelerates shipping good work — you still have to fundamentally understand the changes you’re applying. Codeberg’s Anti-AI Stance & the Slop Bug Report Problem Holly introduced Codeberg — the nonprofit, community-led GitHub alternative built on Forgejo — and its new policy banning AI/vibe-coded contributions, including a clause flagging work disproportionate to a project’s contributor count. The hosts respected the position but worried it might spell the end of Codeberg, since experienced open-source folks lean on AI tooling (like partner CodeRabbit and traditional static analyzers) as force multipliers. That led into Sara’s frustration with AI-generated security slop. Daniel Stenberg shut down Curl’s bug bounty program over reports where someone’s own test program deliberately creates RCEs and blames Curl. The fix, Sara argued, is a one-paragraph “elevator pitch” summary — and a plea to maintainers to mark every slop report as spam so GitHub eventually bans the account. The group riffed on adversarial AI (two Claude contexts checking each other, like Apple Intelligence verifying sports-game summaries) as a defensive triage layer, while acknowledging people are simply too dumb to run “double-check this before submitting.” Laracon: Laravel Cloud Scale-to-Zero Eric was off at Laracon, which meant peak morale at PHP Architect. The coolest announcement, in Joe’s view, was Laravel Cloud’s scale-to-zero: your entire stack — app server, Valkey, and MySQL — can scale down to nothing when idle and spin back up in under 500 milliseconds on the next request. That’s a potential game-changer for side projects with bursty, uneven traffic and no DevOps army. Holly and Sara were skeptical about how you cold-start a MySQL instance that fast — almost certainly a pause/resume rather than a true cold start. Other Laracon news: a Laravel language server protocol for better autocomplete and code navigation, plus managed queues that also scale to zero and only wake when a job needs firing.

PHP Podcast – July 23, 2026 Hosts: Joe Ferguson, Sara Golemon, and Holly Schilling Eric got ousted from his own show (no pants required), Holly’s elephants are lost somewhere in the U.S., and the crew talks SIMD, PHP 8.6 feature freeze, and whether AI can actually create. Also, socks. A Show Without Pants: The Guest Takeover This week Eric got booted from his own podcast while John was off doing something more important, leaving Holly, Sara, and Producer Joe to run the show. The gang wasted no time reminding everyone that the correct Discord URL is discord.phparch.com — not phparch.com/discord — a mistake that ended up as tomorrow’s task list item for Joe. There was plenty of housekeeping to get through: PHP Tek 2027 lands April 27th through 29th in Chicago, the CFP is open, and the call for papers closes August 31st. Holly, ever the deadline enthusiast, admitted she loves “the sound deadlines make as they whoosh by,” which set the tone for much of the episode. And yes, the swag store now has PHP Architect socks. There was extensive debate about whether the socks are safe for large-footed individuals, whether banana-for-scale photos are needed, and whether Eric should post feet pics. DuckNizzle bought some socks. We are also, apparently, SOC 2 certified. The Great Elephant Migration Sara’s elephant herd is currently scattered across the United States, most of them somewhere between Chicago and California courtesy of U-Haul. With import forms to Portugal not yet ready, the plush pachyderms are taking a scenic detour west before eventually making their way overseas. Only six elephants are currently on hand, and technically none of them are PHP Architect elephants — though one is a PHP Roundtable elephant, prompting the recurring wish that someone should bring that podcast back. Spoiler: they might, more on that later. Sara also shared she’s been in intensive foreign language classes every day, getting up at 7 a.m. while not falling asleep until 2 a.m., all while assembling a Prusa Core One+ 3D printer kit with roughly 300 pages of instructions and hundreds of tiny pieces. SIMD and Data Science in PHP Joe brought a blog post from Mitchell Hashimoto arguing that everyone should know SIMD — Single Instruction, Multiple Data. It’s a form of parallel computing that can dramatically speed up large data processing, offering 8x, 10x, even 100x improvements when you’re working with hundreds of thousands or millions of records. It won’t help you loop over a 100-item array, but it might supercharge a FlowPHP parquet file with millions of rows. Sara pushed back on how deep into the processor this discussion goes, noting that floating point math already flows through the SIMD registers — so in a very narrow sense, you’re already getting SIMD support in current PHP. Reordering instructions safely is another matter entirely (see: Intel’s history of getting it wrong). The conversation tied back to Florian Englehart’s “One Billion Rows” talk at PHP Tek 2025, and Holly mentioned her monomorphic generics work now supports variadic types — meaning a typed vector structure could, with a bit of JIT work, make SIMD-style patterns possible in PHP’s near future. PHP 8.6 Feature Freeze Is Coming Code freeze for PHP 8.6 lands August 11th — less than three weeks out. The release managers admitted they flubbed and missed the five-week warning email that should have gone out July 6th, though the four-week email did go out July 13th and a two-week warning is coming next Monday. Sara, one of PHP’s previous release managers, was philosophical about people panicking at the deadline: you’ve had twelve months, your lack of planning is not the release team’s problem. An idea to move the feature freeze date was floated and quickly shot down — the cadence has been established for years, and one missed email doesn’t change that. Larry got a shout-out for suggesting internals push all new business to September so 8.6 can get properly tested. And Holly declared, in full Benevolent Dictator mode, that the next release simply has to be 9.0 — too many big features to ship for a mere 8.7. AI, Copyright, and Whether Machines Can Create The crew dug into AI, starting with the news that a judge approved Anthropic’s $1.5 billion copyright lawsuit settlement — with roughly two-thirds going to lawyers. On the brighter side, Anthropic is giving a million dollars to Code Crew, a Memphis nonprofit building a physical location to offer less-predatory career training. Holly described using AI to implement a new module dereference operator (colon greater-than) that exists nowhere but her own machine, arguing the AI isn’t stealing when it follows precise instructions to generate novel syntax. Sara countered that the LLM isn’t creating so much as blending existing functionality — following instructions rather than inventing. The debate turned philosophical: how much truly new code have humans written in the last decade? We stand on the shoulders of giants, we’re “thinking meat sacks,” and Sara cheerfully accepted the label of “biased anti-clanker bigot.” The Terminator is coming for Larry first, apparently. Foundation Transparency and Household Jira The PHP Foundation published a quarterly progress report authored by Elizabeth, detailing what every contractor and employee has been working on. Holly praised Elizabeth for bringing the transparency the Foundation had long lacked, since devs have a lot of autonomy and asking them what they’re doing is, apparently, the worst. This spiraled into a discussion of household project management — one host’s wife is a project manager, another family installed a Jira instance for their home that the programmer husband absolutely hates, and there’s a gamified house-cleaning app that Holly refuses to adopt for fear she’ll either become obsessed or start a fight over losing. The episode wrapped with talk of finally reviving PHP Roundtable (scheduling permitting), Longhorn PHP acceptances, and gentle ribbing that Eric and John are “getting up in years” and can’t perform with their usual podcast consistency. There’s a pill for that.

Turning Cash into Cash Flow: The Transition to Real Wealth A high income can make you comfortable. Recurring cash flow can make you free. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down how entrepreneurs can transform active income into assets that continue generating revenue without requiring their daily presence. Working hard is necessary in the beginning. But if your income disappears the moment you stop working, you have not built true wealth yet. The goal is to use the money you earn today to create systems, assets, and income streams that keep paying you tomorrow. In this episode, you'll learn: • The difference between active income and passive infrastructure• Why spending profits on lifestyle upgrades can delay financial freedom• How income-producing assets can generate recurring monthly cash flow• Why true freedom begins when your cash flow exceeds your living expenses The truth is simple: Making money is only the first step. The next step is putting that money to work. Deploy the capital. Build the assets. Create recurring income that does not depend on your daily effort. When you own the cash flow, you own your calendar. Your Network is your NETWORTH!

PHP Podcast – July 16, 2026 Hosts: Joe Ferguson, Sara Golemon, and Holly Schilling Joe hosts with Sarah and Holly while running on no sleep. The PHP Tech 2027 CFP opens, a fake PHP 9 pitch appears, we crown Holly the accidental main character of internals, and everyone agrees dark mode flashing white is a war crime. PHP Tech 2027 CFP Is Open (And Yes, the Year Is Right This Time) The big news kicking off the show is that the PHP Tech CFP for 2027 is live and open. You can find it over at Sessionize under php-tech-2027, and unlike a certain demo from the previous week, the date on it is actually correct. There was a brief moment where it displayed 2007, but the team fixed that rather quickly, so credit where credit is due. The crew marveled at the fact that we are somehow less than six months out from 2027, which spiraled into a conversation about kids getting learner’s permits, full beards showing up on children who were toddlers just yesterday, and whether anyone’s offspring might actually submit a talk. Helldivers came up. Freedom was spread. And there was a gentle suggestion that SoCalKid and their newly engaged fiancé should be sent the CFP URL immediately. Meanwhile, PHP Tech 2026 videos are rolling out on PHP Tech TV. There are currently 37 available with more still processing thanks to some technical and room issues at the event. Several talks are completely free, including Joe’s talk on modernizing DevOps, Kaylin’s “Modernize Your Old School Endpoints with HTMX,” and both of Ben Ramsey’s talks. Working Groups, Discord, and the People Who Actually Care The conversation turned to the internals process and Ben Ramsey’s working group proposal on the internals mailing list, which the crew encouraged everyone to actually read. The idea of giving working groups some autonomy and even decision-making power drew broad agreement as a way to produce more fully-fleshed RFCs rather than one person’s implementation of a giant feature. A recurring point of confusion is the reference to “Discord conversations” in RFCs. There is no official PHP.net Discord, but phpc.chat will get you to the Discord (and previously the bridged IRC). The PHP Internals channel is where a lot of discussion happens, though far from the only place, and there are also the PHP Foundation and new Foundation Ambassadors channels. Big appreciation went out to the moderators keeping that Discord spam-free and troll-free, with a special shout to Tiffany, who is an absolute machine at helping people, pointing them in the right direction, and posting top-tier cat pictures in the pet flexing channel. The recurring theme: decisions are made by the people who show up. Silence is acquiescence, and if you have issues, speak up. Holly famously just showed up in internals one day, started talking, and they let her stay. This Week in Internals and the Co-Scientist Show Joe wanted to highlight Artisan Build’s YouTube channel, specifically their “This Week in Internals” videos. They are fantastic recaps of what’s happening in the internals world, complete with a very light sprinkling of extremely dry comedic timing that lands perfectly. The videos break down email threads and RFCs into easily digestible summaries of what people are arguing over, then poke a little fun at the sillier arguments. A weekly recap drops regularly and it’s consistently great content for anyone curious about internals. The crew was also impressed by the host’s ability to nail every name pronunciation on what seems like the first try, which spiraled into Holly’s confession that she has a hard memory limit on names learned after kindergarten. Anyone new is simply “out of bounds.” Holly’s Fake PHP 9 Pitch: Structs, Modules, and Surfaces Holly walked through a blog post on eventuallywrong.com featuring a fake PHP 9 pitch full of flagship features she’s prototyped. It kicked off with extensions, which she discovered didn’t exist while trying to build the Longhorn app in native PHP, landing her at the top of that internals video. Next came structs, which started as an attempt to build tuples (turns out full structs were easier). They’re Swift-style value types with strong typing, and after some grumbling at Larry, she reworked things to support interfaces and traits, leaning into composition over inheritance. Modules got the PHP-style treatment: a simple module definition, a public interface declaration, and a new `internal` visibility level that lets members be accessed within the same module. No autoloader modifications required, and reflection remains the escape hatch as always. Finally, surfaces — a keyword that adds a perpendicular-to-visibility scope. A method can belong to a surface, and callers simply declare they want to use that surface of the class. Holly performance-tested it: no impact if unused, minimal impact if used. She also spent a good chunk of the show against friend classes, arguing they’re leaky, unrestricted, and if you’re going to hand out full access to your privates, you shouldn’t have marked them private in the first place. Release Management, Version Stats, and Upgrade Paths Holly is a first-time PHP 8.6 release manager alongside Matteo Beccati, with veteran Daniel Scherzer (also on 8.5) rounding out the team. She stepped down from RM in a prior election because others wanted the work — a reminder that people stepping up in open source is a rarity worth celebrating. Release management, she noted, is less a social job and more about moving data at the right time and signing things. The July 2026 PHP version stats got a thumbs up. Looking at the trends, 8.5 is clearly on the rise, 8.4 climbing slightly, 8.3 starting to trend down, and 8.2 falling harder — exactly the curve you want, with the vast majority sitting inside the support window. Joe shared that upgrading apps from PHP 7 to 8.3/8.4/8.5 has been a much easier lift than the older 7.x hops, thanks to a more consistent release cadence and better deprecation guidance. Holly pushed back on the idea that 5.6-to-7 was ever hard, while Joe pointed out the real pain came from jumping ancient 5.0/5.1 codebases straight to 7 back before Claude existed. There was also a very in-depth debugging tangent about an opcache build flag no longer being needed on 8.5. Accessibility, Dark Mode Crimes, and the JetBrains Survey The JetBrains State of PHP survey is open, and everyone should go take it — there’s even a chance to win one of five vouchers. This led to a discussion about whether JetBrains usage is being decimated by AI tooling, with Holly living almost entirely in the terminal with Claude Code these days while Joe remains loyal to PHPStorm and PyCharm. Sarah, who is going blind and is not joking about it, kicked off a passionate segment on accessibility. Test your apps with a screen reader. Respect font scaling and contrast (F0F0F0 text on white is a genuine crime). Respect the OS toggles for reduced motion, because autistic users and others depend on them and apps routinely ignore them. The crew then united around dark mode etiquette: the only reasonable default is system-selected, and the white flash between two dark-mode pages is caused by JavaScript-based theme switching instead of sane CSS selectors. It is, universally agreed, the worst. The episode closed on eye-tracking privacy (Apple Vision Pro good, Oculus terrifying), heat maps, and a laptop-camera-covering tangent that got appropriately unhinged before Joe called it on that bombshell.

https://jo.my/n4jlnqLoading Dock SafetyPicture a four-foot drop. It does not look like much from the driver's seat. But to a worker on foot or a forklift operator, that edge is a cliff. One wrong step or a sudden slip can change a life in a split second. Gravity does not negotiate. It does not care about your schedule, your quotas, or your deadlines.Here's a simple truth. We must look out for one another. Loading docks are the busiest, highest-risk areas we manage. Keeping them secure is all about positive overall safety, survival, and culture.Here are a few tips to assist you with Environmental Hazards & Dock Safety Week 3: Loading Dock Perimeter Safety:Paint the Danger: Apply high-visibility yellow tape or paint to the "Drop Zone" floor. This visual marker must extend at least three feet back from any open dock door. If the door is open, that zone is strictly off-limits unless a truck is fully locked in place. In some cases, paint may be the best option. However, if you're looking for another product to try, consider our sponsor, Mighty Line. Mighty Line offers THE best Safety Floor Tape and Signs on the market. Their patented beveled edge and thickness can't be beat! Mighty Line can be applied quickly and easily, leaving NO residue when removed. This results in a very short loss of production time - a benefit you won't get when applying and removing paint. And now, back to our list...Lock the Steel: Use interlocking dock levelers. These systems prevent the overhead door from opening and the leveler from deploying unless the vehicle restraint is fully engaged on the truck trailer. No lock, no entry.Deploy the Hooks: Always engage automatic vehicle restraints. Physical hook systems hold the trailer tight to the dock wall. This stops trailer creep and prevents premature departure.Watch the Lights: Trust the red and green communication lights. Green means go for the forklift, but red for the truck driver. Red means stop for the forklift, but green for the driver. Train your team to check these lights before every single load.Bar the Door: Install heavy-duty safety barriers or safety nets across open dock doors when no trailer is present. A simple chain is not enough to stop a runaway forklift or a distracted worker.As always, these are potential tips. Please be sure to follow the rules and regulations of your specific facility.Every close call is a warning sign we cannot afford to ignore. When we rush, we miss things. When we miss things, people get hurt. It is that simple. Safe facilities do not happen by accident. They are built by teams who refuse to cut corners, even when the pressure is on.Take a look at your dock doors today. Check the lights. Test the locks. Look out for the person working next to you. Your actions keep this place running, and your vigilance keeps this team whole.Thank you for being part of another episode of Warehouse Safety Tips.

In this episode of The Private Equity Podcast, Alex Rawlings speaks with Bill Bell, Fractional Chief Revenue Officer at Chief Outsiders, about building a repeatable sales engine that drives organic growth across private equity portfolio companies.Bill explains why commercial due diligence is often far less rigorous than financial, legal, and operational diligence—and how this leads firms to underwrite ambitious growth plans against sales organisations that were never designed to deliver them. He shares why hiring more salespeople rarely fixes a broken system, what strong sales leadership looks like, and how documented processes, CRM governance, pipeline discipline, and structured onboarding create scalable performance.The conversation also explores the risks of hiring competitors solely for their “black book”, the value of stage-gated sales processes in long-cycle industrial markets, and Bill's experience growing a PE-backed North American business from $180 million to $325 million in revenue while more than doubling its EBIT margin.Key Takeaways• Diagnose the commercial engine before adding sales headcount.• Assess whether sales managers are truly managing, coaching, and forecasting—not simply carrying major accounts.• Build systems that make capable salespeople productive rather than relying on individual heroics.• Use clear stage gates to qualify opportunities early and avoid wasting months on deals that will never close.• Professionalising the leadership team and commercial function can unlock organic growth and support M&A integration.Timestamps00:00 – Introduction to Bill Bell and Chief Outsiders00:52 – The biggest commercial mistake private equity firms make02:17 – Why hiring more salespeople can increase cost, not revenue02:46 – Diagnose, fix the infrastructure, then add capacity03:17 – Four areas of commercial maturity to assess04:46 – What makes an effective sales manager07:03 – How manufacturing companies typically hire sales talent08:00 – The danger of relying on a salesperson's “black book”08:56 – Building a sales system instead of hiring your way to growth09:56 – Four foundations to establish before recruiting sales reps11:24 – What a documented sales process should look like11:53 – Using stage gates in an 18-month industrial sales cycle13:43 – The hidden cost of pursuing customers who will not buy15:40 – Bill's biggest PE-backed growth success story17:34 – Recommended books, masterclasses, and podcasts18:58 – How to contact Bill19:27 – Closing remarksRaw Selection partners with Private Equity firms and their portfolio companies to secure exceptional executive talent.

Cash sitting still is not safety. It is wasted potential. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down the velocity of capital and why entrepreneurs must learn how to keep money moving, multiplying, and working for the business. Let's be real… If your profits are just sitting in a checking account… Doing nothing… Buying nothing… Building nothing… And creating no future return… That capital is not being protected. It is being underused. In this episode, you'll learn: Why cash should be deployed as a weapon How stagnant money kills compounding potential Why reinvestment creates speed, scale, and momentum How high capital velocity can turn profit into a self-funding empire The truth is simple: Money only has power when it has a job. It can buy infrastructure. It can buy talent. It can buy marketing. It can buy systems. It can buy speed. High-level operators do not admire their bank balance like a scoreboard. They ask where the capital can go next. They reinvest with intention. They assign every dollar a mission. They turn today's profit into tomorrow's growth. Because when capital moves… The business compounds. Deploy the cash. Buy the assets. Keep the money moving. And keep leveling up. Your Network is your NETWORTH!

PHP Podcast – July 9, 2026 Hosts: Eric Van Johnson & John Congdon | Guest: Holly Schilling A PHP RFC for extension methods that PHP definitely should have had by now. Holly Schilling, Uninvited but Welcome Holly was originally just planning to heckle from the Discord chat room. She had about 45 minutes’ notice before the show that she’d be on camera instead, which she took in stride — minus the PHP swag shirt she would have worn if she’d known. Eric is happy to hand her the show; she’s been in the backstage feed and notes that the zero-latency view means she actually gets the jokes, unlike the 3–5 second delay that makes jokes land after everyone’s moved on. PHP Tek 2027 CFP: Now Open The call for papers for PHP Tek 2027 is open, and the deadline is end of August. This year, PHP Tek is doing three tracks: two traditional PHP-focused tracks and a third rotating track that will change each day — one day dedicated to AI talks, one to Laravel talks, one to DevOps talks. The goal is to get submissions in and the schedule published early enough that attendees can put it in their budget before their fiscal year closes. Holly (who now manages the submission review) has a note for repeat submitters: if your talk was accepted and given at a previous PHP Tek, don’t submit it again. Also: bot submissions from automated systems that spam every CFP in SessionEyes are a real problem, and Holly’s job is to filter them out before the blind evaluation round begins. The evaluation process is designed to keep Eric and John out of the loop until after the first pass — so they can’t accidentally influence votes for speakers they already like. PHP Tek 2027 Hotel + Conference Bundle Brief reprise from last week: the hotel and conference bundle is available at phptek.io — one price that includes your conference pass, hotel nights, and conference lunches and breakfasts, designed to make the ask to a manager or CFO as simple as possible. Eric is working on a short video to explain it rather than just dumping pricing on the homepage. Joe Ferguson at Merge PHP — Today Joe Ferguson — PHP Architect team member and co-release manager of PHP 8.6 — is presenting at Merge PHP immediately after this podcast wraps. His talk: “Ansible for PHP Developers: Configure, Deploy, and Update Your Infrastructure.” Eric was trying to reach Joe for an hour before the show (Joe was apparently already in the Merge PHP stream watching the podcast). If you’re listening after the fact, the recording may be available. Holly’s RFC: Class Extension Methods Holly has spent the past week doing a caffeine-fueled deep dive into PHP internals C code and has come out the other side with a draft RFC and working proof-of-concept code for class extension methods — a feature she kept assuming PHP had, tried to write, and found didn’t exist. The idea: you can add methods to an existing class without subclassing it. Swift has this, Kotlin has it, C# has it. The canonical PHP example is something like adding isWeekday() or isWeekend() to DateTimeImmutable — you get to call it as an instance method on the native class, not on a subclass you’d have to propagate everywhere. Under the hood it’s syntactic sugar: the implementation in C# is a static method with the class passed as the first parameter, and Holly is taking a similar approach. No performance penalty — a few people have already tested it. Early concern about performance impact has not materialized. The feature naturally extends to scalar methods, which Laracon’s Levi Koop and others have discussed: the ability to write $str->length() instead of strlen($str). This part is harder because $this in PHP must always be an object, so scalars need special hooks to work as receivers. That complexity is why Holly broke the implementation into three phases. She has posted GitHub Gists rather than a formal PHP wiki RFC so far — she submitted for a wiki account yesterday and is waiting to hear back. Outlook has been eating her PHP internals mailing list emails (treating new posters as spam), so she’s in the process of switching to a new email address. Joe Ferguson is in the chat offering to help expedite the wiki account. Feedback is coming in, changes are being made, and this is moving toward a formal RFC. Holly’s motivation is pure: she built this for herself because she needed it. Eric quoted himself from the “PHP Ugly Days” era, telling the community that if there’s a feature you want and nobody’s building it, it’s on you. Holly has resented and credited that line in equal measure ever since. NativePHP Mobile: Holly Is Building the Longhorn App Holly has started building a conference app for Longhorn PHP using NativePHP Mobile. Eric’s reaction ranges between excitement (someone’s doing it!) and mild betrayal (it’s not for PHP Tek). Holly also submitted a talk to Longhorn PHP about what actually distinguishes a real native mobile app from a website wrapped in an app shell — and the answer isn’t the language, the transitions, or the scroll animations. It’s state management. Native apps treat the local device copy as authoritative or at minimum authoritative enough that you’re not reaching the server for every interaction. Web apps don’t do this; native apps have to. Holly has real-world context here: one of her earlier jobs was building the Chicago Sun-Times native app and then white-labeling it for 70+ publications across the country. She says she’d never do that again. Every single publication has brand style guidelines, logo clearance zones, and color adjacency rules. Multiply that by 70 and you start to understand why white-labeling at scale is a nightmare. Longhorn PHP CFP — Closes Tomorrow The call for papers for Longhorn PHP is open through tomorrow night (July 10). It had been briefly reported as closed last week; it got extended. If you want to speak at Longhorn, head to cfp.longhornphp.com now. The conference is in Austin at the Holiday Inn. WordPress: Stewardship, Backward Compatibility, and the Laravel Fork Question Holly’s experience white-labeling apps prompted a broader conversation about WordPress — specifically a genuine acknowledgment of how technically impressive it is that a WordPress installation can look completely different from any other, at the scale WordPress operates. Eric respects the technical accomplishment but has longstanding criticism of how WordPress positioned itself in relation to the PHP community. His view: WordPress was the Laravel of its day, arguably the thing that kept PHP relevant for a decade. But rather than leaning into the broader PHP ecosystem and pushing the language forward from the inside — the way Facebook tried to (even if it eventually forked into HHVM/Hack) — WordPress was laser-focused on backwards compatibility. The result was that PHP internals couldn’t move as fast as it might have because WordPress’s enormous install base created a de facto veto on any change that would have required sites to update. Holly pushed back gently: WordPress’s backwards compatibility constraint wasn’t really a choice they could have made differently given the scale of self-hosted installs and third-party plugins. Eric acknowledges the constraint while still wishing they’d engaged more with internals. The Hack language comes up as a counterpoint: HHVM/Hack, whatever its ultimate fate, was the provocation that woke up PHP internals. PHP 7’s massive performance improvements and modern type system features largely came out of internals saying “Hack has a point, let’s do this properly.” Almost every good idea from Hack eventually got ported into PHP. Eric’s darker hypothetical: if Laravel today had an existential need for a PHP feature that internals kept rejecting, and Taylor Otwell forked PHP — that could be a genuine death blow to the ecosystem. Holly thinks the community would survive; Eric thinks the math on maintaining a language fork is nastier than it looks. Composer, Supply Chain Security, and the 48-Hour Question A viewer asked whether Composer has a way to skip packages released in the last 48 hours when running an update — the motivation being supply chain attacks, where a compromised package gets published and immediately picked up by the next composer update run. Eric’s short answer: not natively, and the real mitigation is to not run composer update blindly. Holly points out the harder version of this problem: languages like Swift allow pre-compiled binary packages, which are far scarier than source packages because you can’t even do a code review. Eric mentions that Packagist and Composer have been doing real work on supply chain integrity (covered on the show a few weeks back). If you want the deeper treatment, Eric Mann’s upcoming Security Corner column in the July issue of PHP Architect covers exactly this — Composer and the PHP supply chain. Look for it in the next few weeks. Eric’s Laptop Saga, Chapter N The new “clean install” MacBook Pro that Eric has been using to solve his connectivity issues dropped partway through the show. Eric switched to his older laptop (which was still running and still connected), but couldn’t get his camera to re-appear in the stream source list, couldn’t add himself back, and eventually gave up and wrapped up audio-only. John and Holly carried the last few minutes. The older laptop that never dropped is now, apparently, the better one. Eric is running out of explanations and considering a career in farming.

Are you on the brink of creative exhaustion, but you keep forcing yourself to show up at the microphone because you are terrified of losing your hard-earned download momentum? Many purpose-driven hosts face severe marketing fatigue and burnout, yet they refuse to take a pause out of fear that their audience will unsubscribe or completely forget about their show. This pressure to produce constant, brand-new content can turn your passion project into what feels like a chore. If you need to step away to protect your mental capacity, manage a busy family season, or focus entirely on high-level client work, you need a plan that protects your energy without sacrificing your audience retention. In this episode of Podcasting Unlocked, we break down the esteps designing a strategic podcast sabbatical. Discover how to establish firm calendar boundaries, leverage automated content management, and use creative audio formats to keep your distribution feed active, your listeners fully engaged, and your show growing—all while you take a well-deserved break from production. This week, episode 294 of Podcasting Unlocked is about planning a strategic podcast sabbatical without losing your audience! In this episode of Podcasting Unlocked, I'm sharing the importance of planning your sabbatical ahead of time and actionable steps you can take right now to prepare for a well deserved break. I also chat about the following: Define a Realistic Sabbatical Timeline: Learn how to look honestly at your mental availability and establish a clear timeline for your break—whether that looks like one month, three months, or an entire season pause.Deploy transparent Audience Communication: Discover how to eliminate listener confusion by explicitly stating your pause, setting a definitive return date, and utilizing automated audio tools like pre-roll announcements to guide users through your existing episode catalog.Repurpose via Compilation Episodes: Master the art of the compilation episode by grouping past high-performing audio segments under a singular, high-value theme and recording quick vocal transitions to stitch the insights together smoothly.Amplify Authority with Strategic Feed Drops: Explore how to keep your distribution feed warm without recording new material by dropping full guest-interview audios from past appearances or cross-promoting valuable target episodes from your peer network.Enforce Strict Calendar Boundaries: Protect the integrity of your sabbatical by blocking out your schedule entirely. True rest means stepping completely away from production logistics, outreach management, and guest scheduling to focus purely on high-level strategy or family presence.Stepping away from the microphone is not a sign of creative failure; it is a fundamental requirement for the long-term stability and longevity of your show. Consistency does not mean you have to remain trapped in a relentless production cycle; it means honoring your operational capacity so you can deliver your best work.Your strategic challenge for this week: Open up your digital schedule right now, look across the next six months, and block out a minimum of a two-week dedicated podcast pause to protect your creative energy.Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on turning your podcast listeners into leads and to hear even more about the points outlined above.

PHP Podcast – July 2, 2026 Hosts: Eric Van Johnson & John Congdon Eric’s new laptop won’t share its screen. John lost a fight with a leaf blower. PHP 8.6 alpha dropped. 100+ people showed up to make PHP seem cool again. Normal show. Eric’s Fresh Install and the Screen That Wouldn’t Share Eric has been wrestling with connectivity drops for weeks, and this week he took drastic action: a fresh install on an older MacBook Pro with almost nothing on it. He installed exactly three apps — 1Password, Ghosty, and Tailscale — and is running Discord and Slack through Safari to minimize variables. The irony is immediate: the new setup can’t share its screen during the show, something that was a central part of what they planned to cover. He hits every macOS security dialog in real time, can never quite get there, and eventually gives up and goes verbal. The fresh-install theory is that one of his previously installed apps was causing his streaming dropouts. Whether it worked is TBD, but at least he stayed connected. PHP Architect July Issue — Published Live John published this month’s magazine live on the show — walked through the admin steps in real time, which Eric found appropriately chaotic. The monster feature article this month is “Building Secure REST APIs for Healthcare Applications with PHP and Laravel,” running 21–22 pages, making it likely the longest single feature they’ve ever run without splitting it across issues. The page count is mostly because of the volume of code samples. It will not be the free article of the month, which Eric admitted immediately creates extra work for John. Eric also noticed for the first time that Edward Bernard has an ad running in the magazine (Wizard’s Lens, his book) — which has apparently been there for a while. John’s Week: Leaf Blower, Racquetball, and AI Pull Requests John started the week by getting hit in the eyebrow with a leaf blower. The full story: his wife wanted the leaves blown off the top of the pergola, he figured out he could push the leaf blower up there and let gravity return it to his hand like a boomerang, it worked three times, and on the fourth attempt it went straight to the eyebrow. He’s on enough medications that he bruises instantly. He then played racquetball, found himself in an extended session with an 80-year-old and a much better 35-year-old, took a hard ball to the back of the leg, and is expecting to regret it tomorrow. On the development side: he’s still reviewing pull requests where roughly 80% of the code is written by Claude and submitted by non-developers. He talked to one of the authors about it, and the author’s response was that he does learn from John’s feedback — he reads it, tells Claude about it, and asks Claude not to do it again. John is… accepting of this. Laravel Verbs, Eloquent Hooks, and a Client Project That May Be Back A previous client project — originally built in Laravel 7, heavily involving event sourcing — may be reviving. Eric spent the last few weeks using Claude to walk the application from Laravel 7 to Laravel 13, then tackle the event sourcing library migration. The original library is no longer maintained, so Eric and Claude moved everything to Laravel Verbs. Eric has a nuanced view of Verbs: it’s great for developers new to event sourcing because it’s approachable, but gets a little murky when you start talking about projections in Laravel terms versus event sourcing terms. To police CRUD operations and ensure nothing bypasses Verbs, Claude suggested hooking into Eloquent’s lifecycle callbacks — so whenever any CRUD action is called on a model, it first fires through Verbs. Eric loved this; John had reservations, arguing it inverts the paradigm (the change causes the event rather than the event causing the change). Eric’s counterpoint: the Eloquent hook fires before the model touches the database, so Verbs still logs first, and it solves the very real problem of a developer seeing a venues table and just using the model directly. Holly, watching in the Discord chat, noted that Verbs calls the aggregate root a “state” rather than using the standard event sourcing term “root” — which is exactly the kind of terminology drift Eric finds frustrating about Verbs, even as he thinks it’s the right tool for this project. The client meeting itself went well; their CFO grasped event sourcing immediately because it maps perfectly to accounting ledgers, where every entry is permanent and any correction requires its own entry and explanation. Laracon and NativePHP Mobile Laracon is July 28–29, and Eric is going. NativePHP Mobile is holding a one-day mini-conference immediately after on July 30 — “Vibes with Native PHP” — for an additional $129. Eric is likely not staying for it due to flight constraints, but he used it as an excuse to hype NativePHP mobile again. He’s been talking about this project for a while and still hasn’t shipped a real app with it himself, which frustrates him. His pitch: if you’re a PHP developer who has ever wanted to do mobile development and found the barrier too steep, this is the moment. NativePHP is pushing more native functionality on both iOS and Android, the license fees are gone, and the project is in its second wave. There is also an ongoing campaign — which Eric is actively encouraging in this episode — to pressure Holly Schilling into building the PHP Tek conference app using NativePHP Mobile. Surfaces RFC & Friends RFC Holly’s Surfaces RFC came up briefly — Eric wanted to discuss it more but they ran out of time, mostly because Holly was busy in the Discord getting called out for doing a conference app for Longhorn PHP. The short version: the Friends RFC (in discussion) allows a class to explicitly grant another class access to its private properties without requiring inheritance — the canonical use case is a builder that needs to set private fields on an object without requiring setters, which would make those fields effectively public. Holly’s Surfaces RFC extends the idea to roles rather than just specific classes. Eric and John agree they need to have Holly on as a guest to actually discuss it properly — a plan they’ve now made twice. Chris Miller Submits a PR to PHP Core Their team member Chris Miller found a bug in the PHP JIT compiler: code that goes through the JIT was returning a different result than the same code without the JIT, specifically with the bitwise NOT operator. He opened an issue, looked at the C code, figured out the cause, and submitted a pull request to fix it. The same fix already existed for the bitwise OR and XOR operators — this PR adds the bitwise NOT. Eric loves this kind of story: a developer using PHP, noticing something odd, going all the way to the C source to understand why, and contributing a fix rather than just filing a bug. There’s a known separate JIT issue in PHP 8.5 tracing mode affecting background workers (not the main application); Eric upgraded his client’s app to 8.5 and ran into it, and believes it’s addressed in 8.5.7. PHP 8.6.0 Alpha 1 — Released Today Joe Ferguson — their friend, PHP community member, and occasional target of friendly on-air ribbing — released PHP 8.6.0 Alpha 1 today. Joe is one of the release managers for PHP 8.6, with Daniel Scherzer serving as the senior release manager (the PHP Foundation recently updated the title from “mentor”). Eric and John congratulated Joe warmly, mostly by pointing out that Chris Miller is smarter than Joe. Joe was apparently on the PHP Foundation Ambassador call as well. PHP Tek 2027: Hotel + Conference Bundle PHP Tek 2027 is doing something new this year: an optional bundle where you can buy your conference ticket and hotel stay together. Two options — three nights (Mon–Wed) or four nights (Mon–Thu). The pitch: one all-in number is easier to take to a manager or a CFO than itemizing conference pass, lunches, breakfasts, and lodging separately. Eric and John are explicit that they make less money doing it this way; the benefit is that your room is booked immediately when you pay, so you won’t forget and find rooms sold out later. Breakfast in the room is free for the first person, half price for a second person in the same room. Dinners and travel are still on you. CFPs: Find-a-Conference and Longhorn PHP Someone in the community pointed Eric to a website aggregating call-for-papers listings across conferences — not PHP-specific, and not geographically locked to the US. Useful if you’re a speaker (or want to be one) and want to see where to submit. Eric mentioned it as a resource for PHP community members to speak at non-PHP conferences, which the community generally doesn’t do enough. Specifically: Longhorn PHP’s CFP is open until July 10 at cfp.longhornphp.com. That’s one week from now as of this recording. PHP Foundation Ambassador Program Eric joined the PHP Foundation’s new Ambassador Program and attended its first meeting. He expected a modest turnout — the meeting had 114 people in the call. Three of them were from PHP Architect. Elizabeth Barron organized it and was apparently worried nobody would show up; Eric was not worried. The program’s focus is getting the word out about PHP to new developers and making the language feel more approachable — something the community has been trying to do for years without a coordinating structure. There was one slide. They talked about the slide for the whole meeting. There are multiple programs under the Foundation you can sign up for (including security-focused groups); you sign up via a Google Form, you don’t have to speak in the meetings, and it’s open to anyone regardless of PHP skill level. Eric’s one note to Elizabeth: please don’t make the coordination mechanism a mailing list. AI Note Takers — The Open Meeting Debate Eric’s AI note taker was running in the Foundation meeting, and some attendees objected. Eric is a defender of AI note takers: he gets summaries, can reference meetings later, and gets a Monday morning digest of the previous week. His position is that banning agents from an open, public meeting doesn’t prevent recording — it just means the notes disappear into the ether. For genuinely sensitive work — he describes a government-adjacent client where developers need background checks and fingerprints — he’s fully supportive of restrictions and will pull his agent without complaint. For an open PHP Foundation meeting, he finds the concern disproportionate, and says if agents are banned outright, he’d stop participating because he doesn’t have the bandwidth to rely on someone else’s notes.
