Daniel asks what #FreeSoftware #OpenSource could have been procured and developed with such sums and how you feel about when you see those numbers. He also fears this trend will continue.
I had a great time at my first #SymfonyCon in #Amsterdam celebrating 20 years of #Symfony!
And thank you so much @packagist for the ticket. Without you I would not have been able to afford the visit!
2025: oh no, we deskilled our factory labor force and now we can't produce anything in our own country!
also 2025: here's a great idea: nobody needs to learn how to program for real because we now have these great AI systems! why waste years in computer science degrees?
2045: oh no...
Had a great day with very interesting talks at my 2nd @FrOSCon / #FrOSCon
Looking forward to more awesome topics tomorrow.

Complexity has nothing to do with intelligence, simplicity does.

It's often observed that we spend more time reading code than writing it.
What many conclude from this is that we should aim to make that task easier by making code more readable; what we should conclude is that we should aim to create code that doesn't have to be read as often and that doesn't take as long to read.
The goal is write code that reduces overall reading time rather than thinking of the reading time as constant. Move that needle.
The object-oriented model makes it easy to build up programs by accretion. What this often means, in practice, is that it provides a structured way to write spaghetti code.
