Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.
Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.
We live in Orwellian times.

I was just reading about Enums and how SplEnum existed previously and was rarely used. Maybe the solution is just to add FixedArray as a new array type in a future PHP version?
If you have a Dell XPS (or any Dell for that matter) check for bloat ware named "Killer Performance Driver Suite". It will absolutely destroy your performance and battery life - and cause your devices to have weird glitches.
This video makes me think about how Nairobi has very similar problems but is investing nearly nothing in public transport - only bigger roads.
Props to @scott.hanselman.com for naming the elephant in the room in big tech.
AI coding tools boost senior engineers but create challenges for juniors who lack context to judge outputs. Cutting junior hiring for near-term gains weakens the future pipeline. We’ll need apprenticeship-style paths.
How fast can you make it? Here's the 100-million-row challenge in #PHP: stitcher.io/feed/posts/7...
You have two weeks to participate. Thanks to PhpStorm and Tideways for sponsoring the prizes!
The matrix must be real.
I'm seeing more people use X's article feature to share content.
I really wouldn't do that. Sure, they'll probably give you more exposure in the short term, but in the long term you want to stay the owner of your own content.
Start your own blog if you want to share things 🙂
I’m going to say this louder for the people in the back, the “AI productivity boost” is that it helps you get to a first draft faster.
LLMs are not good enough for you to not review the output and just publish. If they were then your job wouldn’t need you anyway.
routes/web.php is boring and reliable, and routes/api.php is fancy, but have you forgotten one?

Wild that he forgot to mention he was in it too.
today’s one-sentence horror:
sudo has been largely maintained by a single person for ~30+ years
Haven't enjoyed a game of football quite like that for a while.

I was recently asked what it takes to be a successful senior product manager. It boils down to these skills. The ability to
1. Organize and lead large teams without authority
2. Understand and relay the perspective of executive leadership
3. Establish yourself as an independent decision maker
CUNHA!!

AFCON Morocco 2025 is "the most successful commercial story in African football history," with revenue surging by 90%. Success is driven by 23 sponsors (up from 17), expanded media rights & a data-led strategy that broke into new markets like China, Japan, and Brazil.
You know that annoying experience on mobile websites where you need to find the little close button and can't swipe a menu closed?
The solution is simpler than you think.
With basic CSS scroll APIs, you can get built-in interruptible swipe gestures 🥳
With a massive electricity shortage, Nigerians depend largely on generators. The machines spanning Africa’s most-populous nation can produce as much as 75 gigawatts of power — well above the amount South Africa, the continent’s biggest economy, can muster.
Blessing in disguise, X is ran (and it's algorithms tuned by the demands of) a man who openly threw a nazi salute on stage at a US political event, has helped undermine democratic process with his money, and recently has allowed his Grok AI bot to create child abuse images, and wouldn't stop until nation-level governments threatened bans and action that would hit it's bottom line. Most people who refuse to move to other places like Bluesky have used the excuse that they would lose their community, but I notice a heavy group of those people who give that excuse have a paid X account, and are therefore making money from engagement, so are likely not wanting to lose their income, however small. I get that leaving X would be seen as a 'political' move by Laravel's team, therefore they're unlikely to do it as a statement piece, but I think if enough people leave X and go to other platforms, engagement and audience numbers will drop to a place where it's natural to move to those other platforms or find better ways to engage with the community. You don't, or shouldn't, have to be 'political' to see that X is a heinous platform. It saddens me massively as well, I was on the original Twitter "back in the day", I met loads of devs there, i got my first job there. Such a shame.
Said my piece on X in the Laravel subreddit, I really hope we can start migrating away as a community and it was so good to see so MANY people calling it out for what it is already in the comments.
Merry Christmas. 🎄🎁
I think he unintentionally revealed something that has been happening under the radar. There are places in Nairobi and around the country that very consistently have "power outages", and it's been that way for a while
