PHP TEK 2025
20 - 22 May 2025 at Sheraton O'Hare Suites

I really enjoyed this presentation. I loved the irony of the name coming before the awareness of the package, as I picked it to attend because of the idea of learning the secret sauce behind event sourcing. Now I need to research the package!

The stress on audit trails and recovery really resonates well.

This is timely as my $dayJob team is trying to wrangle our existing system into DDD-land right now. I'll be linking them the slides as soon as they're up, as this presentation was solid and digestible.

I've gone down the path of custom PHPStan rules for enforcing things like type usage and coding standards but it was very illuminating to see all of the different examples Dave shared from the PHP Language Extension library. So much great AST content at tek this year!

I'm not sure how I'm going to implement this and work yet but I will be installing the language extensions when I can get our PM to allow me to add it to the sprint.

I've already squashed some bugs by using static analysis. In addition, people find my jokes funnier AND I've lost 8 pounds, all thanks to static code analysis.

Thank you for the talk. It helped me understand these pieces.

My only suggestion is to make the screenshots HUGE and then use shapes to "pull focus" on these sections you want to highlight.

Clever choice of example to use to explain DDD, definitely made it more engaging. You ended up using a (mostly) shared language to explain using shared language. Speaking volume was a little low at times though, especially with the AC running near the back.

Thanks for the talk. I love the idea of "Atomic PRs".

Thank you for the talk. This help me finally understand how Terraform and Ansible can work together. My only suggestion would be to add more slides that walk through the difference pieces of each because it felt like a lot of jumping around.

An excellent overview of DDD concepts, drawing parallels between DDD and D&D.

I mean, you're at a software development conference, so I suppose it's a pretty safe assumption that a fair part of the audience understands the basic mechanics of D&D, but I still feel called out! 😅
