Every time I leave /dev/null and come back again, I find new features. It's incredible to see how quickly this idea has grown.

My avatar changed to the GitHub default avatar after I synced my /dev/null account with GitHub.
This is happening to people on GitHub in general. I am also checking other networks, and people are losing avatars. Some had gravatar-backed ones, others uploaded them manually.
I am chatting about it https://dev-null.sh/@rholak/commits/01a1658c-2036-7165-b8d3-8281ed16462c

The PHP community keeps proving that technology moves forward when passionate developers build together. AI is the accelerator, but the community is the real engine.
Not a single line of code of /dev/null/ existed 48 hours ago. My takeaways from our 2-day livestream code grind:
1. PHP remains a solid choice for web app development.
2. Yes, we used AI, but we were still in charge. There is no way non-programmers could have pulled this off, no…
