This mornings talk at #fossy by Elizabeth Barron (the exec dir of the @ThePHPF ) on the challenges in sustaining php was awesome. Go donate to the foundation so we can all keep writing code for fun and profit! opencollective.com/phpfoundation

Today at #fossy , Ben Ramsey taught us about the surprisingly interesting story of PHP’s license. I didn’t know any of this, and I’m amazed he was able to make a talk like this so engaging!

No AI decides your score. It's deterministic — computed locally, from git history alone, without ever reading your code. The AI comes in after: point your agent at the risk map over MCP and let it pay down the debt in the right order. A credit score for your repo. Free for open source: ballast.now

Being a polymath can be interesting, but it can also backfire. Like when your kid asks you (at bedtime) how books are made, and you decide that’s a perfect time for a 90 minute lesson on bookbinding

I built an agentic programmer using Laravel Prompts as a demo for a talk on async php. The secret sauce behind ClaudeCode, OpenCode, GeminiCli, Codex, etc is just the interface. The actual agent is shockingly simple, and you can do it using standard http requests in a loop.

Day 4/4 of Christmas family feasts is in the bag. If you need me I'll be asleep for the next week. ✌️

Historically, I've never really been a huge Christmas guy because of over-commercialization, etc. But kids' joy has really shifted the lens through which I see it. We asked Allison about Santa, and she excitedly exclaimed "I LOVE Santa, and Santa LOVES me!"

Lots of learning to be had! Note: Thorsten's books are both sitting cover side down because of that spine printing issue, haha

In life there are certain moments that can confidently delineate your existence into a 'pre-event' and 'post-event'. This is surely one of those moments for the 'little man'. Today he was introduced to worms 'n' dirt.
