    • Decided if you can write feature yourself using only the core components of the programming language.
    • Check the knowledge of the team to find their base line skills.
    • Move away from opinionated code ecosystems
    • Avoid syntactic sugar covered standards

    • Code like you don’t have access to third party tools

On an application with 3,000 modules, Turbopack takes 1.8 seconds to boot up, while Vite takes 11.4 seconds.” https://vercel.com/blog/turbopack > “Since we're not offering 1:1 API compatibility, most Webpack plugins won't work out of the box with Turbopack.” https://turbo.build/pack/docs/migrating-from-webpack Should you care?
    • Not right away
    • Not unless your’e always on the bleeding edge
    • Not unless you need speed over connivence
    How to stop relying on frameworks and libraries
    • Decided if you can write feature yourself using only the core components of the programming language.
    • Check the knowledge of the team to find their base line skills.
    • Move away from opinionated code ecosystems
    • Avoid syntactic sugar covered standards
    • The framework you use today may not be the tool you use in the future
    • Code like you don’t have access to third party tools
    • Care more about core conventions (PSR) than framework guidelines

    1. Simplified - We have a single source of truth for code questions
    2. Future proofing - We can use code snippets in the questions
    PHP has these three problems
    • PHP has too many BC breaks which is making library authors uncomfortable
    • Voting is too centralised. You have to be in 'the club' to vote on RFCs
    • Funding is an issue
    I personally think that PHP should only introduce BC breaks if:
    1. There is a really good benefit in doing so.
    2. All BC breaks should have been mentioned in the RFC with examples.
    3. BC breaks are only allowed in major releases.
    4. There is a large deprecation window between major releases.
    5. Backward compatibility is important and should prioritised over new changes.
    Voting is too centralised.
    • Mailing lists suck. There are better ways to manage communication in 2022
    • It does feel like an elitist club.
    • Follow the RFC guide here https://wiki.php.net/rfc/howto
    Funding is a problem
    • Companies need to take PHP more seriously and pay for the communities time
    • Companies need understand that open source comes at a cost to both them and the community

    How to speed up Cypress tests In general
    1. Discover how slow your tests are to start begin with
    2. Don’t speed up your tests if you don’t need too
    3. Work on the tests that take the longest. List all tests that take over x seconds/minutes and work on those
    4. A small improvement can give you big gains in the long run
    5. Only test what you need too and when you need too

    1. Group similar tests together into a single test
    2. Separate tests that don’t need state, change of state or require a fixed state

  • On Tuesday we progressed the PHP registertion course by adding the framework-less router.
  • Next week we will add some PSR interfaces for the HTTP messages to the PHP registration course
    • Why 10x developers are not paid any more
    • Programming productivity cannot be measured like the productivity of a sales person.
    • A sales person can make 10 more sales than their colleges and therefore make 10 times the amount of money.
    • An electrician could work faster and better than another contractor. This would allow them to complete more jobs and charge more than there competitors.
    • Better programmers write less code.
    • Some talented programmers get board and leave their posts. 
    • Talented programmers are difficult to keep.
    • Experience is more important than the lines of code your write.
    • Programmers don’t get rates best on how productive they are.  EG Bug (A) has the same monetary value as bug (B)
    • The best way to get a raise is to start a new position.

    • It’s sometimes called Candygramming
    • Can shorten code to one liners which can be helpful and easier to read 
    • Can be difficult to change and maintain in the future

    • Is sometime perceived as a lazy way to write code 
    • Reduces the syntax needed to perform an operation

    I gave a talk to PHP South West (in person) and to the Symfony user group in Portugal (Remote) I want to give a shout out to JoelTheDeveloper who I meet at PHPUK, he has a his own YouTube channel which talks about development and the mindset of devs. He’s done a great video regarding handling your ego as a developer. Please checkout his channel  Bug tracking tools
    • It doesn’t mater what tool you use as long as you have eyes on the issues
    • Friction hurts progress.
      • Tools should be easy to use
      • Easy to integrate with the current toolset
      • Easy to integrate outside of the current ecosystem
      • Low learning curve
      • Will it be self hosted
      • Can you import your current bugs/tasks
      • Can you export bugs/issues
      • What are the security implications

  • We got to lesson 4 of the PHP course on Tuesday.  Lots of bad documentation has been fixed
  • Working on a Jenkins server for HTCW as I want to move away from GitHub Actions 
  • We’re getting another English Springer Spaniel called Goose in a few weeks time.  He will only be a puppy 
  • I am giving a new talk called coding with confidence using PHPStan at PHP South West next Wednesday. 
    • What makes an acceptable bug ticket 
    • Bugs are not equal and no bug should be treated equally.  Therefore no ticket is equal nor should the ticket be created or processed equally.     
    • Bugs come in various shapes and sizes.
    • There is a fine line between having too much or too little process     
    • A ticket which requires over processing in its lifespan will slow down delivery of the fix.  This is due to the amount of red tape needed to record and fix the bug     
    • A ticket which doesn’t require the right amount of process during its lifespan will slow down the project as the actors that influence or oversee the ticket may have insufficient information required. 

    Usually a bug is categorised by priority.     
    • P1 is critical    
    • P2 is less so and so on     

    We are skirting around the ITIL  change management process    
    • An incident is not the same as bug or an issue         
    • An incident is an unplanned interruption. An incident could be a bug after investigation        
    • A bug is a fault in the system found by a tester and accepted by the developer         
    • A issue is a business question that could needs to be addressed. The app doesn’t work on X but should it?    
    I have not done ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library) training so please don’t see me as an authority on change management or IT service management disciplines.  In my opinion the the minimum a that a bug ticket should have are:     
    • A heading that quickly summaries the bug     
    • Clear and concise steps to reproduce the bug     
    • Clear requirements and environmental setup     
    • Clear acceptance criteria (A definition of the correct behaviour)     
    • Clear priority and the priority definitions     
    • Clear understand of the bug impact

Don’t rush     
    • Re-read the problem more than once. 
    • If it doesn’t make sense to you then re-write the problem in your own words and get it checked     
    • Ask questions if you don’t understand     
    • The first solution might not be the best     
    •  Break down the problem into smaller problems but try not over abstract 
    2. Don’t panic     
    • Bugs can be solved     
    • A computer only does what it is told to do     
    • Others have come before you and others will replace you     
    • If you can’t think of the solution then walk away but always come back     
    • Software development is huge so take your time 
    3. Don’t worry     
    • We all make mistakes. As long as you learn from them then you are improving     
    • Keep away from the trends and focus on what you are having fun with     
    • We all learn at different speeds and different levels.      
    • At the start, don’t worry about how long you take     
    • You don’t need to learn everything - you can’t 
    4. Don’t over do it     
    • Learn to pump the breaks if you are reaching burnout     
    • Holidays are holidays.  Hands off the code     
    • Learn how to identify burn out     
    • Keep doing other things you enjoy outside coding     
    • Socialise with other coders out side of work 
    5. Don’t over think it     
    • Over abstracting a solution is a very big and common mistake     
    • Its just syntax, just written in a different order     
    • Learn the basics first before jumping into the deep end     
    • You can learn by listening, watching, coding, and reading     
    • Keep a log of what you’ve learnt and look back at your progression

  • All the code notes for Docker for beginners course has been written. This is available on GitHub
  • I’ve started work on transcribing that course. This will take a long time.
  • I’ve fixed issues on howtocodewell.net regarding signup, forgotten password and other minor fixes
  • I’ve added the functionality to lock and unlock courses. This will turn them into private or public courses that require enrolment
    • 6 ways to improve your testing 1) Automate as much as you can
    • Use CI pipelines
    • Run these locally even if your’e not committing any changes
    • Include other code auditing tools such as phpstan or phpmd
    2) Statics are evil
    • There is no way to test a static method that calls another static method
    3) Having many mocks is an indication of bad code design 4) Use tests to help refactor you code
    • If a unit of work cannot be easily tested then it usually means the code is not designed well
    • Break up your tests into smaller chunks
    • Tests can highlight micro and minor refactors
    • Refactor your code and then re test
    • Try and do this in a TDD fashion
    5) Avoid flaky tests
    • Clean up state
    • Check for bottle necks which could cause timeouts
    • Mock external services or dependancies
    • Look into potential memory leaks
    6) Re think what testing means to you
    • Testing is a contractual agreement between the programmer and the code
    • Testing is documentation - Gherkin, Acceptance Criteria, Business requirements
    • Testing is boundary setting which helps with focus
    • Testing is future proofing

  • We’ve almost finished the first pass of the documentation for the new PHP course. I have 1 / 2 lessons to go. There are two more passes that I want to do before recording any of the lessons. The next pass will be to create the project from start to finish using the documentation but on a Ubuntu VM. The last pass will be to do the same bu on a Windows VM
  • Last weeks show that was on shopping carts went live earlier this week. I had some internet issues last week so I couldn’t do the live stream
    • Your feedback 1) Eric writes in on my hack to check if PHP is working YT short and asks if the next video will be on the PHP 8 match expression and when to use it. I can’t promise that it will be the next YT short but I can say that It is on the schedule. 2) Keral writes in on my PHP array sum tutorial and asks how do we sum fields in a database.

    There is a SUM function in MySQL. It takes one argument and that is the expression that you want to calculate. You can use it to find the sum of a field from several records by suppling the field name as the expression. Then add the reset of the query as usual. For example, To get the sum of a shopping basket you could do something like this; Let’s say you had a table of order items with a foreign key linking to an orders table. Each order item record would also have a price field. You could get the sum of the orders price like so: select sum(order_item.price) from order_item where order_item.order_id = 4; Obviously change the table name of order to something else as order is a reserved keyword in MySQL. If you have a comment that you want read out on the show then either write a message on a YouTube video or send me a message on our contact form. Code Iteration time is critical to web development success I want to talk about a blog posted titled 3 lines of code shouldn’t take all day https://devtails.xyz/3-lines-of-code-shouldnt-take-all-day by Adam Berg. In the post Adam talks about his time developing video games at Electronic Arts. He mentions that due to the testing tools and development requirements it could take up to a day to write 3 lines of code. This iteration time was greatly reduced when he used 'test beds'.  Adam mentions in his article that the test beds focused on particular areas of code which meant the tooling was slimmed down. This allowed him to laser in to the code that needed to be tested and as a result made the code iteration far quicker. He goes on in the post to talk about using unit testing which also made his life a lot easier. These test packages only contained the code which was specific to his teams requirements. Again, this was a slimmed down portion of a game. He mentions that these test packages took less than a second to compile and run. This made him less distracted and he could focus on the task at hand.

  • Unfortunately no PHP 8 short this week. It has been recorded, I just haven’t had the chance to upload and do the thumbnail yet.
  • We documented the 7th lesson of the new PHP course. This included some TDD, some array nesting and some PHP 8 array shapes
    • Shopping carts are hard A shopping cart needs to be frictional-less to the end user (Customer). The quicker a customer can purchase a product the better. There are many questions that need to be answered when designing the user flow of a shopping cart These are just some things to think about: Shipping

  • I’ve been plugging in Symfony events into the HTCW site when a user registers.
  • Due to being super busy I didn’t get to stream on Tuesday but I have done all the documentation for 6 of the 10 lessons in the course
  • I should be live on Twitch on Sunday
    • If I was to sum up the coder mindset in a single sentence: If you were to boil down the essence of a programmer it would be to have a practical mind, attention to detail, the ability to think logically, to zone in and out of different scopes and the will to compete complex tasks without giving up. Let’s break that down Thinking practically Practical thinking is important because it helps you solve real world problems. Set clear goals and priotizing work. You can also use life experiences to help solve problems. Attention to detail This means you take pride in your work, you care about the small stuff as much as the big stuff. In programming bad things can happen from the smallest mistake. The ability to think logically Logical thinking is a skill that involves using reasoning in a way that allows an individual to come to a viable solution This helps you re trace steps, think through puzzles and compartmentalise elements of a programs flow. Logical thinking requires several reasoning skills and the ability to look at a situation objectively and work towards a solution based on the facts at hand. Age shouldn’t be a factor when learning to code. In fact the older you are the more life experiences you will be able to bring to the web development table. There are lots of skills that are transferable which are very much required in professional web development. You may of gained some of this experiences in other jobs. Some of these skills may give you a distinct advantage over other web developers.

I would love to hear what you think. Let me know 5 Reasons why the PHP community should use GitHub to host their bug tracker 1. Provides a Gatekeeper Currently on bugs.php.net anyone can submit a bug report without registering an account. GitHub requires a GitHub account for issue submission. 2. GitHub EcoSystem Issues on GitHub can be matched against code commits, change logs can be automated, GitHub has decent project management and work flow tools, GitHub actions can be used for automated tasks and there will be a unified experience across the other GitHub php repositories. 3. Everyone knows GitHub GitHub has taken over the programming world. Everyone knows about it, everyone can use it. This lowers the barrier of entry whilst still ensuring that authors of issues are held accountable for their comments. 4. Not our infrastructure, Not our problem The GitHub infrastructure is managed by GitHub not by the PHP community. 5. Time saver We can spend our time building better things for the PHP world instead of building and maintaining a bug tracker. 5 Reasons why the PHP community should not use GitHub to host their bug tracker 1. If it breaks we can’t fix it If GitHub goes down then we go down. PHP is at the mercy of GitHub and their issues. 2. Once you’re in the ecosystem it’s hard to get out Making the decision to move away from GitHub will be harder than deciding to move away from bugs.php.net And if we needed to make the decision in the future we will need to support GitHub integrations. 3. We have to play by the GitHub rules If GitHub doesn’t allow a country access then tough. We have to play by another companies rules 4. We could build something better If time and money wasn’t an issue then we could build something better which is more tailored towards PHP and better meets the needs of the needs of the PHP community. The bug track could also be a great place to eat our own PHP dog food. 5. We have to follow the GitHub road map Whatever that may be and where ever that may lead us.

The bug track could also be a great place to eat our own PHP dog food. 5. We have to follow the GitHub road map Whatever that may be and where ever that may lead us. Something about having  many eggs in one basket

It will cover PHP session management and the learner will be building a login form with a secured user dashboard. The course will use vanilla PHP and CSS.

I’ve recently published two short form PHP tutorials which are doing really well.  The first teaches the spaceship operator  and the second teaches the null coalescing operator.  I have more to come including PHP 8 tutorials so keep an eye out for those.  News  1) Gentle reminder to update to PHP 8. PHP 7 was released in 2015 and loses Active support for PHP 7.4 will end on November 28, 2021. Extended support for PHP 7 will end on November 28, 2022. After November 28, 2022, Microsoft will no longer support PHP. 2) Bash autocompletion is coming to Symfony console. This adds support for autocompletion when using commands, option names and also allows dynamically contextually complete values for arguments and options. It means you can add custom completion support to your own commands, and OSS projects. 3) The Missouri governor has released a fund-raising video stating that  “Digging around the HTML” is a crime in Missouri. This is after social security numbers of teachers were found in the HTML code. (Code that would be in clear text in HTML or at the least base 64 encoded). Apparently Journalists were able to hack the HTML source code. You can’t make this up.  This is the problem with having someone in power who is surrounded by yes people. 4) Microsoft is losing confidence with some .NET developers after removing Hot Reloading feature from .Net

    7. Always get a team mate to review your code.  Even if its the smallest code change 
    8. Keep to a good branch naming convention 
    9. Separate code maintenance, features and fixes into their own branches - Be aware of what other features use your code
