And I released Laravel GitHash 1.9.0
The package is to get the current git hash (short or long) in your Laravel application.

The other night I made this little #PHP tool that validates #PhpDoc annotations against the actual method signature, to make sure that they are compatible and don't drift apart over time.
I use it as a quick check before running #PhpStan to make sure that the static analysis is correctly informed. Published it on #Packagist in case anyone else would find it useful too: https://packagist.org/packages/nsrosenqvist/phpdoc-validator

Really close in the #rust vs #clang #itworldcup final.
Is this going to get the number of votes that the #php vs #python round did?

I'll be speaking at PHP Tek in May — two talks I've been building toward for a while.
**Kubernetes for PHP Developers**: The translation guide from Docker Compose to production K8s. No 40-hour course required.
**Semantic Search in Laravel**: Building search that understands meaning using pgvector and embeddings. Based on what I built for DailyMedToday.
Both talks from production experience, not theory.
Full details: https://eric.mann.blog/speaking-at-php-tek-2026/

What are the most heavily-trafficked sites using PHP? Go broad—think global, not just the usual Bay Area suspects.
Facebook and Slack are the obvious top contenders, but they both use Hack (a PHP derivative) rather than standard PHP, these days.

You know you're a PHP developer at heart when you write “for each" in English, and it looks wrong to you.

Content warning:Related gripe/ask re: GTFs and protobuf
If anyone has a sane way to decode protobuf (ideally v2 I think? though the "standard" is on v3?) GTFS files that doesn't require tons of questionsble dependencies, and/or has an explanation of the actual technical format that won't make my eyes glaze over like the official docs do, please let me know!
Google seems to have quietly dropped their bindings for PHP and nobody out there seems to have any implementation that doesn't use Google's libraries, which makes me nervous.
So I'd love to understand enough to make a simple PHP implementation that could natively fetch the realtime feeds, but I'd also welcome any existing or prospective from-scratch implementations that don't depend on Google's libraries. Never feels like an ecosystem is healthy if there's a single underlying implementation and it's run by a single company...

A passing test is great. A readable test is even better. In today's video, I show you a small change that makes your tests much easier to read and understand. #php #laravel https://masteringlaravel.io/daily/2026-01-26-video-use-factories-to-make-your-tests-more-readable
