پخش در آینده پخش در آینده لیست ها پسندیدن دوست داشته شدIn this episode, I had a wonderful chat with fellow Australian and former expat, Nigel James , about his journey from SAP consulting to PHP, and what life was like as a consultant over so many years in London. Our time there overlapped, but we never met. We also talked about why PHP is still an excellent choice to develop with, how Laravel is a Marketing-lead development (and that that's not a good thing), and so much more. So if you're keen to get into software consulting, or want to do better at it, tune in to hear from someone who's been doing it for years. Some key takeaways are: Programming is simple: Sequence. Selection. Repetition. Almost regardless of your career path as a developer and your skills, you need to develop some business savvy. A great selling point for PHP (at least in the early days) was that you didn't have to pay Microsoft for so much; this was one of my key motivations too, back in the PHP 3.x days. Are layoffs necessarily all bad, or can they actually be helpful? Are layoffs in tech truly necessary right now, or are they being made to satisfy investors?

1 With Chris Hartjes. Discussing How to Learn Software Testing, Pest PHP, PHPUnit & More! 1:39:24

پخش در آینده پخش در آینده لیست ها پسندیدن دوست داشته شدIn this episode, I had a long and winding discussion about software testing with the legendary Grumpy Programmer Chris Hartjes. We talked about the importance of learning the essentials of software testing rather than focusing on a particular framework, as that makes your skills so much more transferable. We discussed how to approach testing; it's not a framework-first approach. And we also discussed the latest PHP testing framework, Pest PHP, covering what it brings to the table and whether people should just stick to older veterans, such as PHPUnit, or not. Some key takeaways are: You should learn the essentials of testing first, and not a specific tool such as PHPUnit or Pest PHP It's better if people worry less about the tool and more about testing concepts The people who write the best tests are also really talented programmers, because you can't be a shitty programmer and write good tests Testing is an intermediate skill. You have to know how code before you can write tests When approaching testing something, ask: " How would I manually do this? ". Don't think about testing concepts or a framework straight away If people would spend as much time learning the fundamentals (of testing), they'd see that their skills are transferable. Composer saved PHP. It kept PHP from just being the thing that runs WordPress Bill Joy on Linux and macOS: " Re-implementing what I designed in 1979 is not interesting to me personally. For kids who are 20 years younger than me, Linux is a great way to cut your teeth. It's a cultural phenomenon and a business phenomenon. Mac OS X is a rock-solid system that's beautifully designed.

1 With Arne Blankerts. Talking Container, Podman, Kubernetes, Linux Containers, and so much more! 54:56
In this episode, I had the pleasure of continuing to talk with Arne Blankerts about one of my favourite topics: containers. We talked about his misgivings with Docker, his love of Podman, some of the history of containers and container plumbing in the Linux kernel, how Docker's architecture can lead to security issues, and so much more. If you're in to containers in any way, or are thinking of getting in to them, this episode is for you! Some key takeaways are: Podman Compose is almost an equivalent to Docker Compose Podman is virtually a drop-in replacement for Docker Podman doesn't require a daemon and doesn't require root Isolated processes just make sense The kernel can't directly control containers when using Docker Links Podman Kubernetes FreeBSD Jails chroot Introduction to Control Groups (Cgroups) Demystifying containers, part 1: Kernel Space Linux Containers (LXC) Podman Compose Laravel - The PHP Framework for Web Artisans Dan Walsh ( Twitter , Blog ) Podman in Action , by Dan Walsh Docker security issues Confoo.ca The future is now: Replacing Docker with Podman Honey, I shrunk the Container!

پخش در آینده پخش در آینده لیست ها پسندیدن دوست داشته شدIn this episode, I had the pleasure of talking with my mate and colleague Darryl Ware, who I worked with in Brisbane (Australia) oh so many years ago, about the changing face of tech in Brisbane. He shared with me (as I've been living in Europe for the last 15 years) that it's changed from a broadly PHP-based city to a much more Golang-centric place (along with Node and Java). We also talked about C-based languages and how they rise and fall over the course of time. Then, on top of that, we talked about how you can, if it's possible, to constantly keep up with technology, if it's worth it, and when it's okay to just walk away and start something new. Some key takeaways are: Tech is very transitory PHP is fading in Brisbane Cloud providers can dissuade people from using PHP (I strongly agree) Nothing stays the same in tech and life When do you stop adding language features Is it C double-plus or C++? I think we all know the answer PHP had a poor reputation for years because it had an exceedingly low barrier to entry, but it's so much more now Perl 6 took too long to come to market Composer ROCKS!

پخش در آینده پخش در آینده لیست ها پسندیدن دوست داشته شدIn this episode, I had the pleasure of talking with Doug Bierer about his history in computing, a history which if you're a computing hardware or programming nerd, you're going to love. Doug shares how he got in to computing with the TRS-80 and Commodore 64. How he taught himself to program in Assembler during shifts when he had some quiet time, and how music was what lead him to programming. We both recount our time in computing back in the 90's and what it was like to work with Microsoft Windows and UNIX/Linux. Some key takeaways are: Throwing hardware at the problem doesn't fix it. Bad code upon bad code just makes more bad code. Automating code creation doesn't necessarily result in good code. Less is more.

پخش در آینده پخش در آینده لیست ها پسندیدن دوست داشته شدIn this episode, I had the absolute pleasure of talking with Mihalis Tsoukalos, a long-time Twitter friend and someone who's given me loads of advice, about software development. He shared with me so much about his journey with C-based languages, particularly Python, C, Go, & Rust. He talked about Linux shells including Bash and Zsh (and of course the excellent Oh My Zsh project). On the flip side, he shared why he's no fan of Java and Microsoft Windows, preferring almost all things Linux and Unix. Then, he finished up by talking about file formats such as Latex, Markdown, and AsciiDoc (my favourite format), the importance of software documentation, and what he believes it takes to become a professional developer. You don't want to miss this closing aspect of the episode! Some key takeaways are: Start by writing small command-line utilities, re-implementing the ones that you know. Then, gradually take on bigger, more complex ones. Keep writing code and keep improving each time. Read a lot of code, experiment even more, talk to other developers, and fail better each time. Even if you only learn a little something, it's something more than you knew before. Software documentation is very important. To learn Rust, you really have to do it full-time. He's a big fan of Go because of the speed, size of the standard library, and because it's a simple and fast language.

پخش در آینده پخش در آینده لیست ها پسندیدن دوست داشته شدIt was a pleasure to sit down and chat with Oliver, a full-stack software consultant based in South Wales, in the UK. We talked about so many things which I'm sure so many developers can relate to, even those who've only been developing for a relatively short period of time. Some key takeaways are: Both working remotely and working in an office have benefits and drawbacks. It's really up to the person and the organisation as to whether it will work or not, and both have to be professional and trust each other. Pair programming is a wonderful opportunity to learn the most unexpected things and to grow as developers Being in the same room as others can often feel much "warmer" than over a video link While working remotely can be more challenging to communicate fully, it can be done, if you're prepared to engage.

It was a pleasure to sit down and chat with Karl for this episode which went off on such a massive tangent at the start. Despite that, we felt it was worth keeping, as sometimes it's worth doing things a little differently. If you want to skip to the more tech/work/career aspect of the episode, jump up to about the 21 or 32 minute mark. Some points from the episode: Should people be paid based on where they live or should they be paid on the role and its value to the company/organisation? How do you make the mental shift from employee to business owner when creating a business? What do you really want to do all day (5 days a week, 44-odd weeks a year)? When do you work best? Where do you work best? Work with intention. If you decided to start a business, the first few (or more) likely won't be your best. Enjoy the journey as well as the little wins.

It was a pleasure to sit down and chat with Andreas. He shared what it was like taking over phpugffm (the PHP user group in Frankfurt, Germany), why he believes some devs aren't involved in user groups, how to become a better public speaker, and an excellent form of development: Documentation-driven Development . Some key takeaways are: When you lose your place while speaking, calm yourself, and collect your thoughts, then pick up where you left off. Enthusiasm makes talks lively and interesting.

It was great to be able to sit down and chat with Cal again, as he shared so much great information, including: How he got started using WordPress How the WordPress API has changed WordPress How he gets podcasts out the door so quickly through scripting and proper processes; and How to be a better communicator. Some of the key things to know about being a better communicator are: Start with the written word and write 500 words per day, even if you don't publish them. Then write and publish what you write.
