After #phpshell, I think it’s more important than ever to advocate for keeping systems up to date.
In an age where AI agents can write much of our code, the real value developers bring is shifting. Updating underlying systems, keeping languages and dependencies current, addressing vulnerabilities, and maintaining software over time are becoming just as important as building it in the first place.
Writing code is getting cheaper. Maintaining software is becoming more valuable.
The future of development isn’t just about shipping new features. It’s about making sure the software we already depend on stays secure, reliable, and up to date.
