I kind of want to go back to last Thursday night after @phptek and @wurstcon, hanging out at the hotel. Just want to capture that moment in time and hold onto it.

@ramsey @phptek Thanks for writing this!

Me, every year just before #phptek: "I dunno, is this even worth it? Everything sucks and talking to people is hard."

Me, every year just after #phptek: "PHP ALL THE THINGS! HOW DO I GET MORE ELEPHPANTS? EVERYONE IS AWESOME."

I wrote a few words about last week’s @phptek.

PHP Tek: A Homecoming

PHP, karaoke, hot dogs, catching up with old friends, and why this conference always feels like coming home.

If you weren’t at #PHPTek, you missed a great conference with amazing speakers and awesome attendees. I know there were many reasons not to attend, and that’s okay. I hope the world is in a better place a year from now, and we can all hang out again.

Thanks so much to @eric, @john, and the rest of the @phparch crew for putting on yet another great #PHPTek!

I enjoyed giving my talks, learned some new things, caught up with old friends and made new ones, and had a blast. See you next time!

The best post-conference-speaking feedback I can get is "I changed how I did things because of your talk."

Yep, I did get that after #PHPTek this week. Victory!

I'm so glad people found my sessions helpful.

Is there an HTMX equivalent for iOS/Android? Where an API returns UI component code? (I am in no way a mobile dev, however a talk I saw at #PHPTek had me wondering)
