• PHP's Biggest Problem

  The PHP website is indeed one of the worst parts of the whole ecosystem. Just look at the landingpage (https://php.net) and compare it with those of other languages. There's not a single piece of PHP code on the page. No "what is PHP", no "why should I use it", and no "that's why PHP is great". It's just a news page showing the latest releases, and a small section for downloading PHP. And speaking of the website:... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Self Hostable Multi-Location Uptime Monitoring

  My initial idea was to leverage the main application’s queue worker by deploying a queue worker remotely and setting up a secure connection between them using something like Wireguard. Vigilant is written in PHP using the Laravel framework, for queuing it uses Laravel Horizon. This is a queuing system built on top of Redis. All monitoring tasks in Vigilant are executed on this queue, it allows for multiple queues... - Source: dev.to / 8 months ago

• The Lost Art of Reading Documentation

  I remember being 15 (18 years ago 🥲) and learning PHP. Stack Overflow wasn’t as big yet, and finding answers often meant digging through forums filled with half-baked solutions, each dependent on specific hosting configurations. There was no universal standard, some hosts supported certain php.ini settings while others didn’t. The only reliable resource? The official PHP documentation: php.net. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Using named arguments in php8 and up

  That's the first I've heard of it, and I like it! I can't tell you the number of trips to php.net to look at argument order for a function. Is it haystack/needle, or needle/haystack? Of course it could turn into the same thing w/ argument names (is it whole_name or full_name?), but I'm going to use it. Source: about 3 years ago

• How to display results from multiple SQL queries in the same table cell?

  Prepare to spend a fair bit of time reading and going back to phptherightway.com and php.net. I've also found this Tutorial from Envato Tuts+ to be quite good. Source: about 3 years ago

• Ask HN: How do you handle release notes for multiple audiences?

  I automate one changelog per project using git-cliff and conventional commits: https://github.com/orhun/git-cliff https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Getting Started with CLI tools in Rust using Clap

  Git-cliff is a terminal tool that can generate changelog from the Git history by using conventional commits, as well as by using regex-powered parsers and you can even change the changelog template itself by using a configuration file. This tool is a great example of text parsing on the terminal and also uses clap_mangen which generates man pages. Useful for anyone who is serious about looking into making a... - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago

• Auto-Generated Customer-Friendly Changelogs

  Solutions exist for this. Our company does this with git-cliff. Using conventional commits, any commit labeled with the subject "www" will appear in our public changelog. Source: about 3 years ago

• changelog-gh-usernames: A tool to replace emails in changelogs with GitHub usernames

  This was primarily aimed to work with git-cliff to generate changelogs for GitHub releases, since tagging contributors would include them as contributors for the release, while also ensuring structured changelogs thanks to git-cliff. As of now, it requires a few extra steps to get it working with git-cliff, but the integration should be much better once the PR for post-processors is merged. Source: about 3 years ago
