Come for the code, stay for the conversations (and probably snacks). Let’s learn, laugh, and PHP together!

Kacper Czajkowski - I Accidentally Built a Multitenant System (Without Knowing It) - A wild ride from "just another project" to "oh no, we’ve built multitenancy." Expect war stories, architectural plot twists, and the kind of lessons you only learn the hard way.

Damian Dziaduch – Crossing Bounded Contexts Like a Pro Ever tried to make teams or systems talk nicely to each other? Damian shares real stories from Printify: what worked, what didn’t, and what barely survived. No fluff, just battle-tested insights.

@Grzegorz Drozd – FrankenPHP: The Future of PHP? Is it a server? A framework? A monster? Let’s bust some myths and see what FrankenPHP is really about — and how it stacks up against Roadrunner and OpenSwoole.

Mariusz Gil on the stage, reminding about fallacies of distributed computing in the context of Event Driven Architecture. Async communication comes with costs. #boilingfrogs25 #eda

Hello @boilingfrogspl.bsky.social, 10th edition just started. Great software craftsmanship conference based in Wroclaw - just in case you haven’t heard about it yet

I see #PHPUK has competition 😅

The 25th meeting of the PHP community in Trójmiasto will take place later today. We'll dive into some popular tools and processes, including OpenTelemetry, Rector, #DDD, and probably AI - since it's a hot topic everywhere, right? See you there! #PHPers

Hope I could see at least one 😀, PIE should take the PHP community by storm, hope the adoption would be high.

Can't believe I missed the info about the podcast - thanks for sharing!

After all, in engineering as in life, the dose makes the poison, and wisdom lies in knowing exactly how much simplification is just right. Read Rebecca's blogpost: wirfs-brock.com/rebe... 7/7

The most powerful engineering insights emerge when we're willing to sit with complexity, challenge our binary assumptions, and embrace the beautiful uncertainty of problem-solving. 6/7

Karol Kreft @kkreft.bsky.social · 09/12/2024
Or the 24 people out of 10,000 who might be incorrectly excluded? These are not just technical questions, but strategic decisions about acceptable trade-offs. Simplicity is a guide, not a gospel. 5/7

Instead of seeking definitive, black-and-white answers, we learn to navigate the rich landscape of 'likely,' 'possible,' and 'context-dependent.' Consider her example of user authentication: Is a 99.76% true acceptance rate 'good enough'? 4/7

Karol Kreft @kkreft.bsky.social · 09/12/2024
The real art of engineering lies not in forcing simplicity, but in embracing complexity with probabilistic thinking. 3/7

Karol Kreft @kkreft.bsky.social · 09/12/2024
Just as she argues that not every problem demands absolute exactitude, we must recognise that oversimplifying complex, non-deterministic systems is a dangerous trap. Binary thinking fails us when we encounter nuanced problems or complex decision-making processes. 2/7

KISS principle is misunderstood as a universal sledgehammer. In reality, it's more of a precision tool. Rebecca Wirfs-Brock's recent insights about the complexity of seeking definitive answers perfectly illustrate this challenge. 1/7

That's the "issue", they do not occur in Europe 😀

Seems smooth, any noticeable pros over Playwright (despite usage of PHP)?

Gorgeous, never saw them in live.

Hmm.. this is exactly why we need an AI in our mailboxes, right?

.. The Architecture for Flow Canvas also seems to be worth to check. Check other talks on www.meetup.com/techexcellen....

Great talk by @suksr.bsky.social on today's Tech Excellence Conference 2024. One of the best showcase how to mix #WardleyMapping, #DDD, and #TeamTopologies and benefit from all of them at once. I highly recommend the talk "Optimizing for a fast flow of value with Architecture for Flow"...

It's not just a domain of .NET developers; most software engineers are no longer experts in database features. Furthermore, they often lack access to DBAs. Migrating to SaaS solutions has only made this gap more apparent.
