👋 To people considering following me, here's what you can expect from me on bsky: - Tempest, a PHP framework me and others are building - PHP in general, new updates, opinions, … - Timeline Taxi, a sci-fi novel I've recently published (and who knows if there's more to come)

I got a call at 8 in the evening to fix someone’s vibe coded app 🤔 stitcher.io/blog/artific...

We've selected the five new projects we'll sponsor as of next month with PhpStorm ! blog.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/202... There are honestly so many good ones, so it's impossible to pick, but let that be encouragement to all of you to pitch in as well if you can :)

Thoughts about TypePHP: stitcher.io/blog/no-need

Yesterday, an interesting change happened at Laravel. I wrote down some thoughts about it: stitcher.io/blog/no-more...

☝️I do; I struggle with AI. Let me tell you a story: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDL1...

As @pronskiy.bsky.social's term on The PHP Foundation Board comes to an end, he is replaced by the wonderful @stitcher.io. elcome Brent! 🚀 And thank you for your years of dedication and commitment to The PHP Foundation, Roman! ❤️🐘 thephp.foundation/blog/2026/0... #php

New Tempest release! We added trusted proxies support and a database driver for command busses github.com/tempestphp/t...

Ask AI to writing something in a language I know, and I'm never super impressed. Ask it to write something in a language I don't know, and my mind is blown. What are the chances that's more on me than AI? stitcher.io/blog/a-for-a...

Wrote a short blog post. Not unimportant to talk about this. stitcher.io/blog/a-for-a...

Small blog today, maybe you can relate? stitcher.io/blog/summer-...

There's a new polling API coming to PHP! www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGpG...

You can now build MCP servers with Tempest: tempestphp.com/blog/tempest...

Great to see tempest/highlight being used more and more :)

Here's our lookback on PHPverse. And yes, PHPverse 2027 will be a thing, and we have a CFP already open! stitcher.io/feed/posts/7...

Who could have thought that this would be so much fun? youtu.be/sGalXQE_Mxs

Join Nuno and I as we talk big things PHP! www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBob...

I say: PHP needs structs www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwoI...

I'm looking for PHP experts to give their feedback and insights: stitcher.io/blog/getting...

Roman and I talk about a lightweight version of @phpstorm, come join and ask questions! youtube.com/live/F2oGNtR...

😶 Mark casually writing ONE review comment as a real comment so that I cannot mark it as resolved is triggering some deep OCD-like feelings I didn't know I had… Also: we're finally getting close to adding FrankenPHP worker mode support in Tempest, which is great 😊

From the Tempest Discord: people are actually building real things with Tempest and impacting lives 🥹

Whether people want it or not, PHP is more than just an interpreter, it's more than its syntax. We've gathered some thoughts from several developers about the recent generics RFC: tempestphp.com/blog/a-gener...

This is important: if you have 15 minutes to spare, fill in the State of PHP survey. Also share it with as many people as possible: thephp.foundation/blog/2026/06...

Filling out the state of PHP survey together! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hu41...

🥹 My son made a drawing for me this morning. Can you see what it is?? 🐘

I'm looking for your feedback! tempestphp.com/blog/tempest...

I started from an empty directory, and built a project with Tempest in an hour. It was super fun: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tK3u...

There's a new RFC for generics in PHP. These are my thoughts about it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wpW...

We designed Tempest with a vision. Seeing that vision coming to live in actual projects is amazing 😍 www.juststeveking.com/articles/the...

Be honest: you want one, right? Here's what you do: register for PHPverse and retweet this tweet and you might get one delivered to you 😎 Here's the link to register: jb.gg/7ne1ba

It's the small things that make the biggest difference

I might be giving away some LEGO elephpants in the coming weeks in preperation for PHPverse. Just saying.

It's almost an extended weekend for me. So what better time than to to ask: who wants to roast my code? github.com/tempestphp/m...

"The docs are pretty good" Are they? www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOWE...

These thoughts have been on my mind for months: stitcher.io/blog/php-big...

So who's coming to PHPverse this year? 🤚 jb.gg/7ne1ba

Calling all #PHP developers 👋 Join us for JetBrains #PHPverse – a free online event that brings together PHP developers from around the world. This year's lineup features @fabien.potencier.org, @jonathanbossenger.com, @naderman.de, @ashleyhindle.com, and more. 📅 June 9 🔗 https://jb.gg/phpverse-26

It's a very sad day for me today, as my IKEA Slabang clock died after almost 20 years. It was such a simple yet robust thing that just solved the problem it needed to solve, and kept doing its work for two decades. I once wrote a blogpost about it: stitcher.io/blog/my-ikea...

Good news and bad news. Good: PHPverse is coming back 🥳 Bad: by mistake, we sent out the 2025-edition newsletter instead of the 2026-edition🫣 We'll send a followup mail to fix it, but here's already the correct link with all info: lp.jetbrains.com/phpverse-2026/

This is an important one, if you have any questions to propose, head over here: stitcher.io/feed/posts/7...

I did a lot of work on this little game of mine during the weekend. Continuing today :) youtube.com/live/iOXbYs5...
