Aaron interviews Ivan Lee, founder and CEO of Datasaur, about what it takes to build private, secure AI for regulated enterprises. Lee traces the shift away from third-party model reliance to compliance pressure, IP protection, and cost, and frames the core decision as buy versus rent: enterprises historically rented frontier models by default, but Western and Chinese open-weight models have matured enough that companies like AT&T now run a growing share of workloads on owned infrastructure. He breaks the stack into three layers (infrastructure, model, and harness), argues models have become commoditized enough to be swapped like building materials, and calls the harness, the connective layer to internal data and tools, the least solved but highest-leverage piece. Lee describes agentic AI's shift from opt-in tools to opt-out, event-triggered workflows as the real 2025-2026 adoption unlock, while flagging FinOps trade-offs (agentic tasks can run 3 million tokens versus 2,000 for a chatbot query) and the custom benchmarking his team uses to earn CISO trust before production rollout.SHOW: 1065 SHOW TRANSCRIPT: The Enterprise AI Show #1065SHOW VIDEO: https://youtu.be/PkLSI2pRZs8SHOW SPONSORSNordLayer - Use ENTERPRISE10 for 10% off.Nasuni - Activate your data for AI and request a demoSHOW LINKSDatasaur homepageIvan Lee on LinkedInDatasaur Launches Forge: AI Native Services to Deploy Private, Model-Agnostic AI Inside Regulated EnterprisesDatasaur's Private LLM overviewGUEST BIOIvan Lee is the founder and CEO of Datasaur, which builds private, model-agnostic AI agents that deploy entirely inside a regulated enterprise's own infrastructure.

Big thanks to Proton VPN for sponsoring this video. You can use my link: https://protonvpn.com/davidbombal to get 70% off your Proton VPN subscription How do you hack an AI system? And what happens when one malicious instruction spreads between AI agents? I'm joined by Harriet, author of Practical AI Security, to explore how AI models and agents can be manipulated, with practical Python demonstrations. You'll see an image classifier misidentify a rifle, a demonstration of prompt injection spreading across five agents, and how memory poisoning can plant instructions that affect an agent later. We discuss why securing AI takes more than blocking prompt injection, how machine learning creates different security challenges, and what you need to understand before deploying agents in your organisation. Want to learn this yourself? Harriet explains how to get started with her collection of 30+ free Python notebooks, including examples you can explore in Google Colab. We also discuss the skills involved in AI security and how people from different backgrounds can contribute. Topics include: • Adversarial machine learning and image manipulation • Prompt injection and attacks spreading between agents • Memory poisoning and model backdoors • AI supply chain security • Learning AI security with Python • AI security careers, training and fundamentals // Link to No Starch Website for Harriet Farlow's Book // Order Practical AI Security on No Starch: https://nostarch.com/practical-ai-sec...

The episode highlights a pronounced governance gap in how small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) are adopting artificial intelligence (AI) tools and services. New research from GTIA, discussed by Sharon Florentine, identifies that while AI use has become nearly universal among SMB end customers of IT service providers, most lack formal policies, leadership, and budgeting structure around their deployment of AI. This reflects a foundational misalignment between AI adoption rates and organizational preparedness.According to the GTIA study, 97–98% of surveyed SMBs are already using AI to some extent, yet only 20–25% do so strategically. Strategic usage is defined by having AI under a leadership role, with established policies and procedures. In addition, only around one-quarter of respondents reported having a dedicated AI budget. This suggests that despite broad AI integration, most spending is ad hoc or drawn from unrelated IT priorities. The research surveyed 520 SMBs across 11 verticals, reinforcing the generalizability of the findings.Supporting discussions emphasized that this misalignment is both an opportunity and a risk for MSPs and ITSPs. Unaddressed gaps in governance, budgeting, and cybersecurity may undermine value delivery and create liability issues. Practical challenges—such as unclear funding sources, lack of proactive customer engagement, and potential cybersecurity risks tied to unmanaged AI use—were described as persistent pain points. It was also noted that shifting to a proactive approach is essential for building trust and effective client partnerships.For MSPs and IT leaders, the operational implications center on the need to address governance and budget planning for AI while maintaining a focus on established IT infrastructure. Relying solely on existing processes may introduce unmanaged risk, particularly as customers expand AI use without adequate oversight. Providers are advised to prepare by developing frameworks for AI budgeting, security controls, and policy development, rather than diverting focus from foundational IT services. Neglecting core infrastructure and data practices in pursuit of unstructured AI integration was identified as a critical operational miscalculation. Supported by: Pax8 ScalePad

Other content creator types will follow.The future of content creation and KOLs is mostly not-human.Digital Livestreamers Have Arrived in Ecommerce. Entertainment and Thought Leaders Are Next.My playbook for human content creators / KOLs is:Focus on topics where being human matters:Taste and curation. What wine is better vs. what laptop is better.Irreversible and/or critical decisions. Situations where you can't do it over and judgement matters.There is an advancing frontier of knowledge. There is no existing online database of expertise. Think new AI tools, not history.Use a multi-format approach:Focus on building personal relationships. Such as in communities and events. Both online and offline.Make your content super authentic. Ideally videos instead of text or voice. Make it clear this is a human.Deploy an avatar army. Your solo content is not enough. You need an army creating content 24/7. This can be clones of yourself or similar personas.The mentioned photos are here. Disclosure.

Marine veteran Peter Caro joined the U.S. Marine Corps expecting to become a mechanic. Instead, he was sent to Iraq as a Motor Transport operator during a time when IEDs were killing drivers across the battlefield.In this Urban Valor interview, Peter shares what it was like serving in Fallujah, driving dangerous roads in Iraq, surviving IED attacks, taking enemy fire, and dealing with the PTSD and survivor's guilt that followed him home.Peter served in the Marines from 2004 to 2013 and completed multiple deployments to Iraq. During his service, he transported personnel and equipment, trained Iraqi police and military forces, and operated outside the wire in some of the most dangerous conditions of the Iraq War.He also opens up about the moments that stayed with him most — seeing Marines he knew listed as killed in action, watching a vehicle in front of him hit an IED, and struggling with the belief that other Marines deserved to come home more than he did.After leaving active duty, Peter began dealing with hypervigilance, panic attacks, isolation, drinking, and survivor's guilt. His path to understanding PTSD eventually led him back to school, where he studied psychology and social work.Today, Peter works as a therapist helping other veterans navigate trauma, PTSD, depression, and the difficult transition from military to civilian life.Chapters: 00:00 Marine Boot Camp & Surviving an IED Attack01:00 Peter Caro's Marine Corps Story01:50 Growing Up in a Mexican-American Family06:34 Why Pete Wanted to Become a Marine08:34 Watching 9/11 Change Everything11:31 Feeling Lost Before Joining the Marines13:44 Walking Into the Marine Recruiter's Office16:33 The Reality of Marine Corps Boot Camp18:32 Choosing to Push Through19:01 A Recruit Tries to Escape Boot Camp23:39 The Reality of the Boot Camp Bathroom25:13 Pete's Infamous Boot Camp Story27:00 Marine Corps Graduation & His Father's Reaction31:51 Returning Home After Boot Camp32:59 Getting in Trouble on Recruiting Duty36:00 The Marine Corps Job He Didn't Expect37:30 Joining 9th Communication Battalion40:02 When Pete's Roommate Went UA43:55 Preparing to Deploy to Iraq45:31 “Dude, You're Going to Die”47:00 Training for His First Iraq Deployment48:47 Accidentally Taking Night Vision Goggles Home51:58 Deploying to Fallujah, Iraq53:07 Training Marines & Iraqi Security Forces54:04 Carrying Iraqi Money Into a Combat Zone55:53 His First Experience Taking Enemy Fire56:41 Tracer Fire Over a Marine Convoy59:24 Becoming Desensitized to Combat1:00:50 Seeing Marines He Knew on the KIA Wall1:03:19 The Beginning of Survivor's Guilt1:04:28 Secretly Getting Married Before Deployment1:08:55 Training Iraqi Police & Army1:10:25 Ambushed During a Convoy Mission1:15:43 Coming Home From Iraq1:18:35 Pete's Second Iraq Deployment1:20:29 The “Code Brown” Convoy Story1:24:32 Incoming Fire Nearly Kills Pete1:28:12 The Mission That Changed Everything1:31:24 The Truck in Front of Him Hits an IED1:32:49 Thinking His Marines Were Dead1:35:00 Guilt After the IED Explosion1:36:45 Why Pete Decided to Leave Active Duty1:40:48 Life in the Marine Corps Reserve1:43:43 Being Reenlisted by R.

PHP Podcast – September 2, 2026 Hosts: Eric Van Johnson & Joe Ferguson John’s out, Joe jumps in at the last second, a brand-new intro gets debuted mid-flight, a new PHP Foundation podcast gets announced, Frank’s database issues (not production), and somebody’s selling 37 elePHPants to fund a startup and open-heart surgery. New Intro, New Scenes, and a Last-Second Co-Host Eric kicked off the episode still tinkering with a brand-new intro and scene setup live on air, complete with a fresh montage that (thankfully) still includes Duck Nizzle. With John unavailable, Joe Ferguson jumped on at the last second to keep the show moving, and the two spent the opening minutes wrestling with scene sizing while Joe appeared comically small on screen. The pair caught up on client work: Joe pulled off an Elastic Beanstalk environment flip that nobody noticed (which is exactly how you want those to go), while Frank got thrown right under the bus for deleting the wrong database. Fortunately, it wasn’t production, and the conversation turned into an appreciation session for point-in-time recovery on AWS RDS and DigitalOcean’s managed databases, both of which have saved plenty of bacon during cowboy-hat coding sessions. The PHP Foundation Community Podcast Joe announced a brand-new podcast launching on the same PHP Architect channel, hosted by Elizabeth Barron and focused entirely on contributing to PHP. The first guest is Matt Stauffer, who recently published a fantastic post on the Foundation site about contributing to PHP, with recording set for September 10th. The plan is one Foundation Community Hour per month, plus the Joe, Holly, and Sarah show on weeks when Eric and John aren’t around. Eric and Joe used the moment to clear up a common misconception: people often conflate PHP internals with the Foundation, but they are not the same thing. The Foundation pays people to work on internals rather than steering the language itself. Its whole reason for existing is to get structure and funding around an old open-source project that billion-dollar companies have built empires on while contributing little back downstream. They also touched on recent Foundation board turnover: Roman’s term ended, and he’s rotating off, with Brent Roose joining as JetBrains’ representative — a great fit given Brent’s reach and the volume of PHP content he pushes out. Unlocking the PHP Architect Magazine Back Catalog The hosts made a pitch for the magazine, noting that an active subscription unlocks the entire catalog going all the way back to the very first issue — December 2002, which covered PHP 4.3. Eric got nostalgic about first discovering the print magazine right when PHP 4 came out, when knowledge was scarce, YouTube didn’t exist, and you had to buy O’Reilly books and beg your manager’s education budget for a subscription. Big news for existing accounts: John has opened up everything published before 2022 to anyone with an account on the system, even without an active subscription. Log in, head to magazines, and check what you now have access to. The team also reminded listeners that the magazine pays every contributor, that they’ve built a solid roster of regular columnists, and that PHP Architect is a consulting group available to augment teams, evaluate systems, and more. Where Developers Fit in an AI World Eric put Joe on the spot with a big question: What does a developer’s role look like going forward, given where AI is? Joe leaned positive on the tooling — Claude is excellent at parsing logs, spotting anomalies, and navigating large legacy codebases he isn’t in every day. He described real workflows like running AWS bill reviews for clients and comparing “what does your Claude say” with Frank to catch ridiculous bugs, all while distilling the output down as the human in the loop. But Joe was candid about his concerns too: AI feels force-fed in a way CSS or JS frameworks never did, with a real fear of being replaced by “a bunch of Claude agents in a trench coat.” He raised ethical and environmental concerns, pointing to accusations about his own city’s AI data center and the ripple effects on hardware — RAM prices spiking 400–500%, with Apple reportedly paying far more for iPhone RAM, a cost that always flows back to consumers. Eric compared the AI moment to crypto: a genuinely good technology released to the masses too soon, leading to misuse and eventual regulation. He shared a concrete win, though — using Claude to single-handedly bring a Laravel project shelved since COVID up to date, then using it to generate effort estimates (roughly three years of work) that helped set realistic expectations with a client who didn’t want to hear it. The pair debated whether those estimates accounted for AI-assisted velocity and stressed the importance of guardrails — especially for juniors, since even skilled devs leave S3 buckets open and AI is dangerously confident in its word guessing. TypePHP: Interesting, But Not for Everyone Eric dug into TypePHP, the ahead-of-time compiler from the Swoole team that translates PHP source into C++ and then native machine code. On the surface, he likes the idea — it’s something he wanted decades ago — but he questioned its relevance today: the compiler’s habit of catching bad code before it runs matters less now that PHPStan, linting, and a strong testing culture already fill that gap. Joe pointed out the bigger practical problem: there’s far more talk about TypePHP than actual code being written in it, and it’s clearly geared toward long-running CLI processes rather than web requests. That excludes the kind of PHP most developers actually write, and as Nuno noted in the chat, it isn’t going anywhere until it works with Laravel and the rest of the ecosystem. The hosts agreed the real value would be extracting any gains and folding them back into native PHP, à la HHVM/Hack, and noted transpiling already solves the “I want a different syntax” itch. Joe also pushed back on the “runs everywhere” selling point, arguing that Docker and Podman containers already make PHP CLI tools trivially portable — better than PHARs ever were. Eric landed on a mature take: he wants PHP everywhere and is happy to see it evolve, but he’s come to terms with the fact that he won’t personally use every direction it grows, TypePHP included. ElePHPants, Laracon Archives, and Free Talks A Reddit post caught the team’s attention: someone is selling their 37+ elephpant collection to fund a startup and help offset the cost of upcoming open-heart surgery. Joe noted the PHP tech elephpants are wildly undervalued compared to others in the listing — you can grab an OG PHP Architect orange Archie for under a hundred bucks. Eric showed off his own big Elvis (a gift from Sarah) and eyed the coveted Star Trek elephpant that John once nabbed in a trade at Longhorn. Eric also highlighted the new Laracon Archive project, which collects Laracon conference talks across regions (US, EU, Online, India) with a clean year-by-year interface — great work for anyone who tries to manage conference content. He closed by plugging phptech.tv, which hosts PHP Architect conference talks, including a batch of free talks and even a full free conference this year, with the same back-catalog-unlock model as the magazine.

仅仅三年前，英伟达还是一个“卖无法替代的铲子”的公司：它的产品供不应求，客户抢着支付现金，只为获得芯片；它的毛利极高、资产很轻——一言以蔽之，这是华尔街最喜欢的赚钱机器。但此后，英伟达主动打破了这种状态，它不断把自己的钱和信用借给它的客户，又让这些客户继续购买自己的产品，在这个过程中，英伟达越来越大，它身上的杠杆也越来越多。正面评价是：英伟达正在用自己的资产负债表为杠杆，建立一个新的AI行业生态；负面批评是：英伟达在自己创造自己的需求，它需要为AI的泡沫负责，甚至有人把它和20多年前的朗讯相提并论。这些讨论当然关乎对英伟达和相关公司股价的预测。如果你想在本期节目获得这种预测，很抱歉我们做不到。我们能做的，是厘清那些纠缠在一起的概念：供应商融资、回流交易、循环融资。换句话说，搞清楚英伟达到底在干什么。当然，节目最后，话题不可避免地滑向那个危险又迷人的概念：泡沫。| 主播 |肖文杰、约小亚| 时间轴 |01:15 英伟达攒了一个5000亿美元的新局04:56 英伟达扶持CoreWeave极简史10:41 担保1085亿美元，到底是什么意思？13:09 到底算不算财务欺诈，判定的两个要素16:30 英伟达的资产负债表不再完美19:12 GPU抵押贷款的利率从15%降到6%22:58 朗讯和光纤泡沫25:51 朗讯和英伟达的两个区别27:53 GE资本的启示：懂技术的人放贷，才算得清残值30:38 英伟达相比GE资本的劣势和优势33:07 比担保更笼统的残值支持35:19 算力到底是不是可以交易的金融资产38:01 三年时间，英伟达从赚钱机器变成了AI行业的中央银行38:58 我们对泡沫的理解| 延伸资料 |SEC - NVIDIA Corporation Form 10-Q（截至 2026 年 7 月 26 日）NVIDIA - CFO Commentary on Second Quarter Fiscal 2027 ResultsNVIDIA - NVIDIA AI Factory Compute Is Becoming an Investable Asset ClassNVIDIA - NVIDIA Partners With Apollo, BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield, Goldman Sachs and KKR to Establish AI Compute Infrastructure Financing Platforms to Mobilize Over $500 Billion of Third-Party Capital硅谷101 - "消失"的万亿债务：深扒数据中心"影子借贷"、GPU金融化与次贷风险NVIDIA - NVIDIA Guarantees SB Energy's PORTS-Pike Technology Campus in Ohio to Exclusively Host NVIDIA AI ComputeNVIDIA - OpenAI and NVIDIA Announce Strategic Partnership to Deploy 10 Gigawatts of NVIDIA SystemsSEC - Lucent Settles SEC Enforcement Action Charging the Company with $1.1 Billion Accounting FraudConverge Digest - CoreWeave Secures $2.6B Loan as Lenders Take on GPU Renewal RiskThe Verge - Chipwrecked: Can Nvidia Avoid the Crash?Michael Burry - The Heretic's Guide to AI's Stars Part III: Tracepalooza & the BezzleTomasz Tunguz - Circular Financing: Does Nvidia's $110B Bet Echo the Telecom Bubble?The Week - The Fall of GE| 后期制作 |潘鑫| 声音设计 |刘三菜| 收听方式 |你可以通过小宇宙、苹果播客、Spotify、喜马拉雅、网易云音乐、QQ音乐、荔枝、豆瓣等平台收听节目。| 认识我们 |微信公众号：第一财经YiMagazine联系我们：thatisbiz@yicai.com

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.

PHP Podcast – August 27, 2026 Hosts: Joe Ferguson, Sara Golemon & Holly Schilling Zero-downtime swaps that nobody noticed, 3D printers that refuse to calibrate, a nostalgia tour through the entire PHPArch back catalog, Go generics, TypePHP, and a very good reason to book a flight to Belgium. This one lived in the gutter and loved it. Zero-Downtime Environment Swaps in AWS Joe kicked off the show talking about migrating a client’s production, staging, and test environments to completely new Elastic Beanstalk setups in AWS — during one of the client’s biggest selling seasons — and nobody noticed except him. That’s the dream: a zero-downtime upgrade that customers never feel. He explained that this was actually the second full rebuild of these servers in two months. The first migration got them off an aging Amazon Linux platform, and once everything was captured in CloudFormation templates and supporting scripts, swapping to an entirely new environment for an SSL certificate adjustment was suddenly no big deal. Being able to swap whole fleets of application servers behind a CNAME or DNS record and have clients never know is, in Joe’s words, one of the coolest things about cloud computing that will never get old. It also spawned a new accidental buzzword: “infrastructure as cloud.” 3D Printing Trials, Tribulations, and Guitar-String Belts Sara got her 3D printer working and has been printing everything from QR codes to a donate-link plaque for the PHP Foundation booth (inspired by feedback Sebastian got at a conference), all using the tried-and-true multicolor technique of hitting pause at the right layer and swapping filament. This is Sara’s fourth printer that should have been her third — she detailed the multi-day kit assemblies, belts that had to be tightened like guitar strings before calibration would work, and a tiny plastic pulley holder that snapped apart. Apparently nobody in Lisbon has a working 3D printer to help print a replacement part, so she resorted to sanding wood into a makeshift holder before finally getting it running and printing spares of everything. Holly admitted 3D printing is another expensive hobby she’d never follow through on, and Joe confessed he’d want the “Apple of 3D printers” that never jams — the same reason flying drones didn’t stick for him, since what he was actually doing was crashing and repairing drones. Sara later shared her first real project: little blue printed brackets that consolidate her monitor’s power and Thunderbolt into a single clean cord. Old Tech Nostalgia: Radio Shack Kits, Punch Cards, and Hard Drive Platters The crew took a deep dive into computing nostalgia. Sara reminisced about Radio Shack electronics kits with big springs you’d push aside to hold wires in place, lamenting that modern kits just have you jumper a GPS to a single-board computer — something big is missing from that experience. Holly recalled hacking on a third-hand 8088 laptop from a garage sale because her parents wouldn’t let her touch the family 486, and spending a full year in 1997 trying to get DHCP working across three Windows 95 machines before giving up and hard-coding IP addresses. Sara topped it with serial null-modem cables running between rooms in her first apartment, back when your serial port was your network. Holly then held up hard-drive platters she keeps as wall decoration, prompting a genuinely fun tangent about whether you could manually write bits to a low-density platter with a needle and magnet — a “solvable problem” per Joe, complete with G-code and a printed robot housing. The group also swapped memories of building PCs when a video card was mandatory and Sound Blaster was king, plus punch cards still stacked in a university basement at the turn of the century. Go Generic Methods, the PHPArch Archive Vault, and PHP 8.6 Go’s newest release finally added support for generic methods (it already had generic structs and functions), which Holly noted is PHP-relevant since it ties back to her own generics proposal debates. Sara puzzled over why methods and functions weren’t just supported together, since the only declarative difference is that receiver parameter — leading to an impromptu live look at the syntax and the conclusion that “all of Go is weird, just in the opposite direction PHP is weird.” Eric dropped breaking news mid-show: anyone with a phparch.com account — even an old one from a lapsed subscription — now has access to the magazine archive going all the way back. Joe pulled up Volume One, Issue One, and dug up a November 2002 piece about PHP 4.3 RC2 — right around when Sara submitted her first PHP patch and gave the world unified streams. They also covered Eric Van Johnson’s blog post on the PHP 8.6 soft feature freeze. Beta 2 shipped with a lot more deprecations landing that weren’t in beta 1, and the hosts encouraged listeners feeling froggy to grab it and test drive. Holly griped that one of her merged 8.6 changes didn’t even get a mention — thanks a lot, Eric. TypePHP and Competing Runtimes The team dug into TypePHP, which compiles PHP down to a native binary. Sara was openly dubious of the speed claims — a 50% gain wouldn’t surprise her, but an 8x gain needs much better data — while Joe noted the only demos so far are CLI apps, not traditional web workloads, and worried the authors are writing a very different style of PHP than most people do. Holly framed it through history: the whole reason PHP, Perl, and CGI exist is to avoid the per-request cost of loading and launching a native binary, so she’s curious what tradeoffs a compiled approach makes — especially since people sensitive to raw performance often reach for Go in the first place. She also pointed out most PHP code is just reading a file, not running the billion-row challenge. Sara pushed back on the “competing runtime” framing, recalling HHVM as more synergistic than antagonistic — it launched with PHP’s own code inside it, and PHP 7 hitting the speed of PHP 5 was directly informed by HHVM’s research. The real test will be whether TypePHP can run real Laravel apps and WordPress sites reliably enough for ecosystem adoption, the same way HHVM eventually powered Wikipedia’s front end with just a single WordPress patch. PHP Foundation Speaker Accreditation & PHP BeNeLux Returns Joe covered today’s PHP Foundation Ambassador SIG meeting, focused on the speaker subgroup and a proposal James Seconde has been working on. The goal is a foundation accreditation program that builds a list of speakers who can carry a consistent PHP message, tapped by geographic region so events get local speakers, more diverse voices get on stage, and nobody gets burned out flying halfway across the world when four nearby speakers could do the same talk. The big excitement, though, was the announcement of PHP BeNeLux in Antwerp, Belgium in January 2027 — the first since January 2020 before COVID. Sara audibly lost it, partly because it lines up with FOSDEM and partly out of love for longtime organizer Michelangelo van Dam, whom Joe credited as a huge, welcoming reason he got involved in the PHP community in the first place. Both hosts are already thinking about submitting talks.

The W-2 Detox: Rewiring Your Brain for Capital AllocationYou cannot build a scalable business while thinking like an employee.The rules have changed.In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down how entrepreneurs must shift from trading time for money to using leverage, delegation, and capital allocation to grow.In a job, effort is often rewarded.In business, effort without leverage can trap you in low-value work and leave you exhausted.The goal is not to do everything yourself.The goal is to put your time, money, and people where they create the highest return.In this episode, you'll learn:• Why the employee mindset can limit your ability to scale• How buying back your time creates more leverage• Why guaranteed-paycheck thinking can hold entrepreneurs back• How capital allocation and delegation change the way a CEO operatesThe truth is simple:Stop asking how you can do everything yourself.Start asking who can do it better, faster, and more efficiently.Protect your time.Deploy your capital.Focus your energy on the work that actually grows the company.True leverage starts with the way you think.Your Network is your NETWORTH!Make sure to add me on all SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS:Instagram: https://jo.my/paulalex2024Facebook: https://jo.my/fbpaulalex2024YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGhDAD1JyGGzSQUPD9lc9HQLinkedIn: https://jo.my/inpaulalex2024Looking for a secondary source of income or want to become an entrepreneur?

PHP Podcast – August 20, 2026 Hosts: Joe Ferguson, Sara Golemon & Holly Schilling Shirley MacLaine is the answer — but what’s the question? RAM prices went up 500%, GitHub fell over for eight hours, and the crew figured out how you can actually contribute to PHP. Glasses optional. Shirley MacLaine, Green Room Shade, and the Show’s New Normal The episode opens with Joe flustered — not because it’s a “flustered day,” but because there’s shade being thrown in the green room backstage chat. Rather than spoil the drama, the crew turns a mysterious green-room answer into a running bit: “Shirley MacLaine” is the answer, and listeners are invited to submit what the question was. It’s declared the first round of PHP Architect’s Jeopardy, complete with its own Easter egg sound cue. Joe also lays out where the show is heading. Eric and John took over the podcast the previous week to relive their glory days, and the plan is for the old guys to step back to roughly one episode a month. Joe and Sara are working on something to fill one slot, another mystery show is in the works pending signed contracts, and Alive and Kicking is confirmed still alive and kicking after a great recent episode with Derek. Joe also plugs the PHP 8.6 Beta 1 tag and Scott Keck-Warren’s PHP Community Podcast interview with release managers Daniel Scherzer and Matteo Bacotti. The RAM Apocalypse: 500% in Twelve Months The big topic of the week is the ongoing memory and chip crisis. Memory prices have climbed 500% in twelve months, and the crew commiserates about the parts they wish they’d bought bigger. Sara explains the brutal math: you can’t build a semiconductor fab fast enough — two or three years minimum — and by the time one comes online nobody knows if we’ll have overproduction or a burst bubble. Worse, Sara notes that essentially every RAM stick through the end of 2027 is already accounted for and sold to vendors. The ripple effects are everywhere. Console prices are going up instead of down late in their cycle, with next-gen consoles projected to start at $1,000 or more. The hobbyist single-board computer market is getting crushed — Pine64 announced they’re stepping back from making hardware, and a Raspberry Pi 5 that debuted cheap now runs over 100 pounds. Holly’s new PC, bought at the start of 2025, ended up shipped 3,000 kilometers the wrong way to California and is stuck awaiting import paperwork, leaving her leaning on a laptop and some now-precious Raspberry Pi zeros. The nostalgia gets thick as the crew reminisces about DIP chips, EDO RAM, Pentiums, Epson 486s, Tandy 1000s, and the TRS-80. Special venom is reserved for Packard Bell (“utter freaking trash”) and Gateway 2000’s cow-pattern branding — which Sara confirms sold better in Wisconsin than anywhere, though hay bales in a Berkeley storefront still boggle the mind. A chat comment about technicians de-soldering and reballing BGA RAM chips becoming economically viable gets a hearty “absolutely.” Memory-Aware Development and Why PHP 7 Doubled Down Bringing the RAM crisis back to PHP, Joe wishes more developers were aware of how their applications consume and release memory — a lesson he credits to learning enough C back in the day, where you have to manage memory yourself. He connects sloppy memory awareness to the N+1 query problems web developers keep tripping over. Sara drops a great deep dive: a significant reason PHP 7 was roughly twice as fast as PHP 5 was changes in the memory layout. Every variable became referenced by one fewer pointer, and while eight bytes sounds trivial, every level of indirection adds time across every single instruction and access. Sara adds the CPU-level detail — one layer of indirection can be a single instruction on most architectures, but adding a second layer can push a lookup from one instruction to three. That leads into a warm tangent about learning C to become game developers. Sara’s evergreen joke: “I’m going to be a game developer” is the programmer’s version of “I’m going to buy a bar.” Great people, brutal hours, endless competition, and the reality of hitting spacebar 400 times to figure out why you can phase through a wall. The cat-reading-the-paper “I should buy a boat” meme makes an appearance to seal it. The GitHub Outage and the Monoculture Problem Monday’s eight-hour GitHub outage hit the crew directly. Holly couldn’t use a site that only offered “log in with GitHub,” and Joe got kicked out of his CLI auth session mid-PR with no way to re-authenticate. To GitHub’s credit, they published an incident update and a follow-up blog post: a service auto-scaled so aggressively to handle network traffic that the sidecar and supporting services couldn’t keep up, bringing the whole thing down. The conversation turns to whether this is self-inflicted. Joe recalls GitHub’s pre-Microsoft, gold-standard reliability and wonders aloud how much the decline lines up with Copilot’s arrival and internal AI adoption, with uptime reportedly slipping below a single nine at points. Sara defends them somewhat — the number of actions, CPU cores, and pull requests has genuinely hockey-sticked, partly because AI has emboldened people who previously wouldn’t have opened a PR. But as Joe puts it, the call is coming from inside the house, since GitHub itself has been pushing AI. On alternatives, Joe says the least-jarring migration for PHP Architect’s clients would be self-hosting GitLab, since GitHub Actions and GitLab runners are nearly identical in syntax — Atlassian’s Bitbucket, by contrast, is a bridge too far, mostly because the entire ecosystem assumes you’re on GitHub. Sara names this the core problem: monoculture. The crew discusses package mirrors, local caches, 12-factor thinking, and Composer’s support for custom mirrors, all while remembering the PHP repo intrusion years ago that came from an unmaintained self-hosted Git server. The takeaway: owning your pipeline end-to-end is the only way an outage can’t stop you — and Joe teases spinning up a self-hosted GitLab now that “the boss” (Sara) has signed off. How to Contribute to PHP (and Handling Security Reports) The crew highlights two PHP Foundation blog posts. First, Matt Stauffer’s “How to Contribute to PHP,” adapted from a talk he gave at Atlanta PHP. It goes well beyond “learn C,” clearly separating the PHP project, the PHP ecosystem, and the Foundation, and lays out approachable on-ramps: testing pre-releases (PHP 8.6 Beta 1 is out, Beta 2 lands next week), improving documentation, and writing tests — which, spoiler, are written in PHP, not C, using PHP’s own test format that’s simple enough to learn from any single example. Other contribution paths include triaging and reviewing issues across PHP repositories — invaluable work that frees core developers from wading through AI-generated slop bug reports — and participating in internals via the well-documented mailing list process, up to and including running for release manager (8.7 managers will be needed before you know it). Sara points folks to discord.phpc.chat for the PHP Discord, with dedicated Internals and Foundation channels for anyone the mailing list intimidates. Second, Sebastian Bergmann’s “So you received a security report. Now what?” is a jump-around reference for application developers rather than a front-to-back read, walking through roughly ten steps to triage, validate, and resolve reported issues the right way. Sara shares a real-world example from mobile: a flagged package that was only exploitable on a rooted device with an actively hostile package installed alongside it — a very different risk profile than a SQL injection on an API endpoint. Cue reminiscing about writing SQL against Access databases over ODBC from PHP (and Perl) back in the 90s, and Joe’s advice for handling any security report: don’t panic, and always know where your towel is.

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

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.

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.

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!
