Makes confused expressions while writing code. Sometimes I do it for free, other times I trick Roave into paying me. When I'm not writing code or stroking my glorious beard I'm hanging out with my wife or playing with our dog & cats.

I post primarily about tech stuff, politics, and attempts at humor. I'll try to mark political posts with a content warning.

Despite our best efforts, it’s difficult to future proof our digital assets and
open source projects for accessibility standards. Our code and design may follow
current standards, but will your careful compliance become obsolete when new
guidelines are released? Join AmyJune Hineline for "Beyond Compliance:

Testing your database can lead to slow, complex tests that are hard to write.
Hard to write tests, usually don't get written. There can be a better way of
testing this type of code. Using a PHPUnit Extension and framework-agnostic
database tools, we can improve tests that interact with the database.

I'm beyond excited to announce that I"ll be speaking at @longhorn this year! Come join me on Oct 24 to learn about writing better tests that interact with a database. I'll show how framework-agnostic tools can manage your test database, load fixture data, and make assertions on your data.

If you store the data of others:

1) you are responsible for protecting it,

2) you are responsible for determining if harm could be caused if this data leaked,

3) and you are responsible for deleting it properly once you do not need to retain it anymore, especially if it could cause harm.

This is a moral obligation and, in many circumstances, can also be a legal one.
