mastodon 4.7.3Excellent PHP writing, hand-picked. No buzzwords. No ads. No nonsense. Curated by @spriebsch@phpc.social and @sebastian@phpc.social of @thephpcc@phpc.social as a free service to the PHP community.
We, @spriebsch@phpc.social and @sebastian@phpc.social, have been frustrated watching great #PHP articles appear, get a moment of attention, and quietly disappear, while AI-generated fluff fills up search results.
This is why we launched PHP Reads: https://phpreads.com/
Every week, we hand-pick articles from across the PHP community that reward careful reading. No ads. No tracking. No vendor submissions. Just writing that actually deserves to be found.
It's free, and will stay free forever.
We now have an RSS feed:
Issue 5: "Seeing PHP more clearly"
Issue 9: "Old lessons, new threats"
Some lessons age remarkably well. This week, we revisit two classic PHP articles that helped us understand what happens under the hood of PHP. Then we look ahead to an uncomfortable future: AI finding vulnerabilities faster than humans can fix them.
Issue 10: "The work that keeps PHP alive"
Open source does not sustain itself, and PHP is no exception. This issue looks at the work behind the work: funding maintainers, simplifying licenses, and turning private experience into shared knowledge for the community.
Issue 3: "Closures, Scope, and Surprising Side Effects"
Issue 4: "A community gaining momentum"
Issue 1: "PHP in Motion: Setting Direction"
Issue 2: "Language Design Meets the Runtime"
Issue 6: "Debugging, Dependencies, and Discipline"
