I'm not sure I need to, but regardless I'll highlight how much of a legend @OndrejMirtes is:

Last month I saw his talk at #phpuk26 on custom phpstan rules...

Yesterday at #dpc26 I'm in a talk by Paul Conroy who mentions named arguments in PHP, so I message Ondrej to ask if it's possible for @phpstan to detect places people should have used a named argument. 4 hours later we're in the bar hacking the new rule together on my laptop; 30 minutes, 2 beers, new rule, fully tested!

Thanks to everyone who came to my talk at #PHPUK26 yesterday. It was an awesome event with great people.

It was also my first full conference talk and despite being a bag of nerves beforehand, it seemed to go OK. I've got some great feedback as well for improving my presentation style.

I'm giving the same talk (with improvements) at PHP Thames Valley in Reading on Monday.

I had a really fun day at #PHPUK26! Loved all the conversations I had and miss the ones I didn't have the time to have with the people I haven't seen in a while.

Conferences are always a great way to meet new faces and see olds ones while also learning new things! :)

Brilliant day at #phpuk26. This community really is special and I appreciated @DaveLiddament closing comment that it's up to everyone at the conference to support (or if necessary start) local meetups to keep this going

Lots of hands up for people who wish they had more time to spend on Open Source development in this talk by @vanamerongen to close off #phpuk26

I didn't know OWASP had a specific top 10 list for APIs - but thanks to @rob at #phpuk26 I do now!

From Events to Insights

Event Storming, DDD, CQRS, and Event Sourcing are intertwined: the tests not only check the events, but also become living documentation and a bridge between technical expertise and code.
