It's genuinely insane what the PHP community can put together in such a short amount of time. So many talented people, so many great ideas, so much fun!
QuotingBRBrent Roose@brendtNot 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 matter how much AI they had. Vibe coding? Yes, but guided by trained professionals.
3. Open source is incredibly powerful. We had so many contributors who helped.
4. PhpStorm + Air performed very well, I truly think the combo of IDE + AI will be key for future software development
5. Humans are longing for genuine human contact, now more than ever. That's what this platform is proving.
6. Finally: pasteis taste good, but a little overhyped IMHO. 🫣
