People still call PHP “dead” 👀

Then you ask when they last tried modern PHP…

and suddenly the conversation gets very quiet 😭

PHP changed A LOT over the last few years.

There should be a skill for AI not to do silly things.

like adding a test if a class on an HTML tag exists after updating the UI.

Not talking about Pinkary lol

Laravel 13.10 added a small but really useful improvement for queue workers 👀

We already had:

--stop-when-empty

But now Laravel also supports:

--stop-when-empty-for

Perfect for auto-scaling, temporary workers, and serverless setups.

PHP introduced `??` and `??=` years ago…

but I still see many developers stuck with ternary operators for default values 😅

Have you fully switched to null coalescing operators
or still using ternary out of habit? 👀

Laravel developers after discovering Collections:

collect($users)
    ->map(...)
    ->filter(...)
    ->groupBy(...)
    ->sortBy(...)
    ->values()
