In this episode of the Master.dev podcast, Dustin Tower, VP of Learning, sits down with Leah Thompson, DevRel and community engineer at Laravel and Twitch streamer (LeahTCodes), to talk about developer relations, learning in public, and how community can launch a tech career.Leah shares her non-traditional path into software: from a pure mathematics degree and a stint teaching high school math, to the free 100Devs bootcamp, to her first job as an HTML email developer. She explains how a free Laracon US ticket and a message to Taylor Otwell led to a job at Laravel just months later. Along the way, she talks about why teaching is the fastest way to learn, how streaming prepares you for conference speaking, and why being authentic is the key to building an audience.Leah also digs into the Laravel stack (React, Inertia, Laravel, and Tailwind), why Laravel's opinionated structure works so well with AI coding agents, how Laravel Boost helps close the context gap for models, and her advice for beginners learning to code in the age of AI.If you're interested in Laravel, developer relations, conference speaking, learning in public, AI-assisted development, or breaking into tech without a traditional CS degree, this conversation is full of practical insight and encouragement.#Laravel, #DevRel, #Inertia, #AI, #WebDevelopment, #LearnInPublic, #PodcastCheck out Leah's Master.dev Course: https://master.dev/courses/laravel/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=home_link&utm_campaign=leah-podcastFind Master.dev Online:Twitter: https://twitter.com/MasterDotDevLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/masterdotdev/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/masterdotdevInstagram: https://instagram.com/FrontendMastersAbout Us: Master AI & Full Stack Development with in-depth, modern engineering courses.

Have you ever had someone review your pull request, make changes without telling you, and just merge it in?In the latest episode of the No Compromises podcast, we discuss whether the traditional code review workflow still makes sense in a world where AI tooling lets developers move faster than ever.Aaron shares two real situations where a reviewer fixed and merged code without discussion, and we dig into why the lack of communication is the real problem, not the act of fixing things itself.We also get into commit strategies, how friction in reviewing someone else's changes kills the learning, and why well-worn workflows deserve a fresh look when the tools around them have changed.(00:00) - When a reviewer merges your PR without asking (03:31) - How we handled it differently with time pressure (05:43) - Should the reviewer just fix it and merge?

Michael and Jake celebrate episode 200 in the most outlandish way possible: with no special plan whatsoever.Michael shares an update on his home renovation, including construction progress, verandah engineering, outdoor kitchen plans, landscaping, structured cabling, smoke alarms, CCTV, and the ever-growing list of "small" additions that come with a major building project.They then discuss home networking, with Michael planning a mostly Ubiquiti, while Jake compares notes on his own home network, including reusing old whole-house vacuum pipes as ethernet conduit and planning better Wi-Fi coverage throughout the house.Later, the conversation shifts to software development and AI-assisted coding. Michael describes what he calls - rightly or wrongly - a "software factory" that uses Amp as an orchestrator, GLM 5.3 agents for implementation, spec-driven development, automated code review, browser testing, and overnight agent workflows.The episode wraps with a broader discussion about what AI means for software development, how it enables software for an audience of one, and whether Michael should buy the 24-port PoE switch after all.

Drupal's Form API is a powerful abstraction, but when you want to target one specific field, label, button, or form wrapper, the default Twig template suggestions can be limited. The module works by taking information Drupal already knows about the form, like the form ID, element type, and element name, and using that to generate more targeted Twig template suggestions. For example, in a Drupal View with exposed filters, you may want to style the Reset button differently from the Submit button. By default, Drupal renders both buttons through the same input–submit.html.twig template, which makes it difficult to customize them independently. This module lets you assign different templates to individual form buttons—such as Submit, Reset, or Filter—based on their action, type, and other properties. This module has no configuration. Just enable the module and it starts working and look at the twig debug comments including extra template suggestions. Module name/project name: formdazzle Brief history How old: created in 13 September 2019 by johnalbin Versions available: ^10.1 ^11 ^12 Maintainership Actively maintained Last release was 1 September 2026, currently the module has two maintainers Stephen Mustgrave and John Albin. The module includes both test and security coverage. Usage stats: 3,956 according to drupal.org Module features and usage There's no configuration. Just enable the module and it starts working, including with Views exposed forms and Webform. Formdazzle automatically adds more specific theme suggestions based on the form ID, element type, and element name.

PHP Foundation Community Hour – September 10, 2026 Hosts: Elizabeth Barron & Matt Stauffer The very first PHP Foundation Community Hour kicks off with autumn vibes, a blog post that started it all, and one big message: contributing to PHP is easier — and broader — than you think. Welcome to the First Community Hour Elizabeth Barron opened the very first PHP Foundation Community Hour alongside Matt Stauffer, CEO of Tighten and a member of the Foundation’s board of directors. The idea grew out of a simple desire to make the Foundation more accessible and to give the community more points of contact. The original concept was just a Zoom call where anyone could drop in and ask questions, but it evolved into something with a purpose and a theme. Big thanks went to the folks at PHP Architect for providing the platform and infrastructure, and to Joe Ferguson for producing behind the scenes. Matt introduced himself and his work leading a PHP (and Laravel) consultancy that specializes in rescuing and modernizing legacy applications. He shared why he loves that space: PHP powers functional code spread across the internet doing real good for real people, which is exactly why he cares so much about the language and the Foundation. The Blog Post That Started It All The theme for these next few months came from a post Matt wrote about how people can contribute back to PHP: https://thephp.foundation/blog/2026/08/17/how-to-contribute-to-php/ His motivation was making programming accessible — he writes books, does podcasts, and speaks at conferences so people can enter the field and transform their lives. Matt admitted he’d often found it hard, even as an experienced open-source contributor, to contribute to PHP itself. Digging into why, he found both truth and misconception. Some contributions happen in ways we don’t call “contributing to PHP” but should, and some pathways genuinely need better communication and community building. His goal was a single canonical starting place — a short blog post that says “start here” for anyone who’s always wanted to contribute. It’s also a reminder to himself to know the current reality rather than criticizing PHP based on how it worked 15 or 20 years ago. The Lowest Barrier to Contributing Asked where someone with no or low barrier should start, Matt’s answer was simple: wherever you already are. If you have a local meetup, go to it. If you attend a conference, get more involved — even just buying a ticket counts. After that, the most newcomer-focused options are the things the Foundation builds specifically for newcomers, like ambassador programs and surveys. The most important point Matt hammered home: contributing to any individual component, framework, package, or meetup is contributing to PHP. Working on WordPress, Laravel, or Symfony all counts. It does not have to be the language itself to matter. Elizabeth agreed wholeheartedly that the definition of contribution should be broad. Every interaction, every engagement, every time someone shows up somewhere is a contribution. Newcomers are especially valuable — they can spot the gaps and holes that long-time maintainers no longer see. For those who do want to work on the language itself, Matt suggested reproducing other people’s bugs from the PHP source repo as the easiest onboarding point. Everybody Matters in the PHP Community Matt offered a definition of what it means to be part of the PHP community: if you’ve written or read a line of code, been assigned to a PHP project, or even just asked “am I a member of the PHP community?” — you are one. Full stop. And you’re no more or less important than someone who’s been doing it for decades. Elizabeth shared that the Foundation recently started an onboarding special interest group where mentorship will be a topic, aimed at improving the overwhelming newcomer experience. They discussed the idea of a central hub or resource for contribution opportunities. Matt was cautiously supportive — worried programmers might over-engineer a tool instead of doing the work, but open to something that points people to where each community already lists its opportunities, while the Foundation creates that space specifically for the PHP language itself. Matt shared his own contribution origin story: his first pull requests, back in September and October 2012, were to jQuery responsive-design plugins. Neither was merged, but the experience taught him that open source doesn’t need to reflect every person’s specific needs, and that most people online are genuinely kind and well-intended. User Groups, SIGs, and Timezone Challenges Responding to a chat question, Elizabeth confirmed the Foundation plans to launch a special interest group for user group and conference organizers to share challenges around attendance, speakers, and sponsors. She’d love to eventually offer micro-grants to help new groups get started, though that requires budgeting and board conversations. Matt debunked the perception that user groups are expensive to run. Food is usually the biggest cost — and you don’t need food at all. The most valuable thing is a host willing to donate space. He described a recent Atlanta PHP meetup with nothing but a few six-packs and some leftover pastries that worked out perfectly fine. The conversation turned to the eternal challenge of timezones and async collaboration. Both agreed async is great for inclusivity, especially for non-native English speakers, but some things simply can’t happen asynchronously with the same quality. In-person and real-time contact build trust and relationships in ways text alone can’t, whether for a company, a user group, or the Foundation’s own special interest groups. Designers, Docs, and Making It Easier to Contribute Matt made the case that being different from everyone else in a community makes you exceptional. Designers aren’t prolific in the PHP world, so a designer who steps up — like the one helping modernize php.net’s visuals — can have massive impact without ever writing a line of C. The same goes for writers, social media people, and accessibility experts. On what the Foundation can do to help, Matt suggested more universally accessible, perennial resources rather than blog posts that go stale. PHP’s own “how to contribute” page is out of date and language-focused. He proposed the Foundation website host a broader contribution guide that links out to each community’s canonical resources. He noted the reality that anything on php.net mentioning a sub-community risks drama, so the Foundation website is a better place to start, prove things out, and eventually propose polished changes to php.net. They closed by celebrating internals contributors, infrastructure heroes like Derick Rethans and Joe Ferguson, and every kind of skill — social media included — that the PHP ecosystem needs.

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.

Have you ever handed off a feature request with barely any detail and expected the developer to just figure it out?In the latest episode of the No Compromises podcast, we discuss why writing clear requirements is one of the most valuable things a business can do before development starts.We make the case that even imperfect requirements beat none at all because they determine where the discovery happens, closer to the finish line rather than somewhere in the middle of the country.We also cover why letting AI write your requirements for you is a trap, and how AI can help you review and cross-check requirements instead. And why the more detail you put in upfront, the less money you spend on surprises later.(02:53) - Good requirements let you build start to finish (05:10) - Imperfect requirements still beat having none (07:36) - Why AI should not write your requirements (09:09) - Using AI to cross-check requirements instead (10:46) - Silly bit Have a messy real-world project you're working through?

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.

When someone says your app is slow and you need caching, do you actually know which layer of caching they are talking about?In the latest episode of the No Compromises podcast, we discuss the many different forms caching takes in a Laravel application and why reaching for the cache facade is not always the answer.We walk through caching from the outside in, starting with edge caching via Cloudflare, moving into Laravel's cache facade for third-party API calls, and all the way down to memoization with the Once helper for expensive in-request calculations.We also make the case that storing data in a database table can be a perfectly valid caching strategy, and that the right question to ask is not whether to cache but what kind of caching actually fits the problem.(00:17) - Why caching means different things to different people (02:04) - Edge caching with Cloudflare explained (05:33) - When a database table beats the cache facade (07:45) - Memoization with the Laravel Once helper (09:19) - Silly bit We have seen every caching mistake in the book.

In this episode, Michael and Jake recap Laracon US Boston, from Malaysian food and an undefeated dodgeball run to Laraprom, the great nachos-with-rice debate, conference logistics, Aaron Francis stepping into Laravel's VP of Marketing and Community role, and a reminder to make room for silly software.Jake shares his work rebuilding Boom Party, the fast-paced Bomberman clone his team used to play after stand-up, along with hosting decisions and a creative workflow involving Claude, Gemini, and Suno.Michael closes things out with what was supposed to be an easy Pest 5 upgrade but turned into a much bigger test-suite adventure: converting old PHPUnit-style tests, untangling inheritance, tracking down mysterious parallel test failures, discovering the pain of stray exit statements, and ultimately getting repeat runs across an approximately 18,000-test suite down to just eight seconds.Show linksPomplamooseSpindriftIZZELaracon USAaron FrancisSidecarWhimsy-driven development by Christina MartinezBoom PartyFly.io

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.
