Before giving my keynote yesterday, I struggled with whether to include a certain section. I actually asked myself, “What would @grmpyprogrammer do?” and decided to keep the section. #LonghornPHP #PHP

We may be starting to wrap things up, but this amazing event is far from over! Huge thanks to @vonagedev.bsky.social for sponsoring our second after party! #LonghornPHP wouldn't be possible without our sponsors, so please make sure to thank them!

Good Morning #LonghornPHP attendees! Today is a beautiful day here in Austin - if you're attending tutorials today, remember to dress in layers - the venue is WELL air-conditioned.

I've reached the point of packing for #longhornphp where I pack stuff in case I'm bored when that's clearly not going to be a problem. #phpc

Good morning dear meatsacks that observe my internet words. I have entered Sky Tube 1 of 2 in preparation for the corporeal relocation to @longhornphp.com . Thank you for your attention on this matter. #php #phpc #phpcommunity #longhornphp #longhornphp2025

I’m updating the content on some slides. The old slides have this HTTP header on them:

X-Powered-By: PHP/5.5.4

So, yeah. The last time I presented these slides was when PHP 5.5.4 was the latest version. That was September 2013.

People I want to hang out with are not responding to texts so I can find them to hang out with them.

This is a subtoot.

If you've been to #LonghornPHP in the past as an attendee and haven't grabbed a ticket yet, we've got a few wks before the conference & I'd love to see y'all there. If our GA tickets feel pricey, DM me. I'm proud of our schedule and want to give speakers the audience they deserve.

This wasn’t a great time to discover this game is available, since I really should be working on my keynote and tutorial for #LonghornPHP. 😳
