Full Stack Developer with a big focus on #PHP 🐘. Plays a ton of games, but mostly #Minecraft. Once spoke at a conference.

Chose this instance since #GameMaker got me started in programming 10+ years ago, and gamedev has always been an interest.

Starting the process to move to a different Mastodon instance. First step, requesting an account.

It's pretty clear where my passion is, and it's #PHP 🙂

@mattgrayyes Hey Matt. Thanks for the awesome newsletter! I'm looking into the weather satelite images, and in the blog the WXtoImg link is broken. It seems they have a new home here: https://wxtoimgrestored.xyz/

Hey!

I was recently laid off and I need help finding a new job. I'm a (primarily) PHP dev with experience in ETL, consuming APIs, writing docs, and some amount of experience with refactoring legacy code and building APIs.

I'm looking for a remote, mid-level position where I can continue to learn and grow as a dev and human, within a team of other devs.

I prefer working with PHP, but I'm open to other programming languages.

I also contribute to the PHP manual when energy permits.

I've finally done something I should've done for a very long time: I watched Lord of the Rings!

It's amazing. As expected of course. I have no idea why I didn't watch it before.

Now, time to find out how to become a hobbit. I already look like one anyway.

There's a special excitement you get when a tool you use adds dark mode.

Today, it's Jira. 🎉

Watching a #PHP meetup from home, seeing @Skoop, @rosstuck & others talk about open source contributions.

Brings back pre-covid times, including the time Ross convinced me to try to give a conference talk, which I later did. 🙂

I should get back into participating in the #PHP community. I miss it.

Ingewikkeld x PHPAmersfoort: Contributing to Open Source projects

As a developer there is a lot of open source software you use on a daily basis. But what about contributing. In this panel discussion, Stefan will talk to so...

I need some help with the hardest thing ever: Naming things! I have 3 types of cubes of voxels (or, 'blocks', in Minecraft terms).

1. Is fully filled. If it's a 5x5x5 cube, it has 125 blocks. I would call this 'Filled'.

2. Only has the outside. It has a 3x3x3 hollow space on the inside. I would call this 'Hollow'.

3. Only has the axis, like in the picture. It's hollow, but it's also missing the sides. It only has the outer lines.

What would I call this?

I'm having so much fun developing my #Minecraft mod. I've really missed enjoyment while programming.

Slowly ticking off items of the massive to-do list. Next in line: Rendering.

Rendering is a rough subject so far, so I have a few other tasks lined up as well so I can take breaks while still continuing the project.

Quite happy so far here. There's a lot of positivity, and it's not weird to follow random accounts. Brings me back to Twitter around 2010. It was a great place to meet people, and following popular hashtags actually resulted in fun content. That's the case here now. ❤️

I chose this instance in the style of 'Dress for the job you want, not the one you have'.

Hi! I'm ThomasToSpace 👋 . Web developer. Gamer. Originally started programming in game maker, and then started learning web dev. That became my job.

Guess now it's finally time to follow that Godot tutorial.
