CascadiaPHP 2024

Preach on man! I wish more folks we do this. Especially in libraries.

Lots of great tricks and tips here… Using two of my favorite tools no less, composer and rector. I’ve manually backed packages back to older php versions before, but never even thought to try using rector for it! And that composer replace trick… oh I am SO going to use that.

That was a great technical talk. I learned about some interesting Iterators that I have never used before. And given the techical difficulties at the beginning it was an absolutely great experience. The only drawback for me was that the code was not as readable as it could have been due to the dark theme.

Thank you Matt! That was a great summary of the current community state and an awesome call to action!

Thank you, Ben for this thorough description and introduction into FormatPHP (and FormatJS). This actually solves a problem I was struggling with in a project a few weeks ago. The "overtime" was definitely well spent! Thank you. The only question that was left unanswered for me was how to pass the strings to a translation agency that uses the XLIFF standard. But that is a technical detail that should be easy to solve!

A great introduction into a topic very dear to me. While I am not 100% on board with some of the statements it was a great introduction and highlighted the main pain-points and, most importantly to me, that those aren't technical problems but man made ones.

A great comparison between EventSauce and Verbs. And a good introduction into Event Sourcing. I was looking forward to some pointers towards how to introduce Event Sourcing into an existing project which wasn't handled in the talk but afterwards in the discussion we did get some hints. Thanks for that

Nobody can show us screenshots of Amazon Wizards like Omni can!

I learned several things in this talk as a home brewer and a developer. I'm a little shocked at how easy it is to create an Amazon skill and now I just need to figure out what to build. I thought it was a well-organized talk and my only negative is I got lost in the code sample somehow but that may have been the long day taking it's toll.

I always appreciate Chris' "say it as he sees it" attitude because you know you're getting raw unfiltered thoughts. This talk reiterated some of the thought I've had about LLMs as well (snake oil in a lot of cases) and it was as always entertaining.

Thank you for the great talk!

We're already using event sourcing in our application and it is amazing how differently the libraries work. I'm definitely going to try out Verbs (as a Laravel developer) and the idea of capturing the 5 Ws are part of the event stream is a great idea. It would make debugging a lot better and I don't know why I didn't think of it before.
