We decide that PHP is web-scale, event-driven programming is not just for NodeJS hipsters, we all take the “Are You a Brogrammer” test and Michael Wales crashes the show half way through like a ninja.
]]>Paul explains why the new PSR-X is a handy idea for those who are already PSR-0 users, or even those that aren’t, Zack flips a shit and gets bored of talking about standards wishing everyone could just use Python and their awesome PEP-8, we convince Paul to try swearing for once and we all try badgering Anthony into agreeing with us for some reason.
Nobody wins, but the argument brings up a lot of interesting topics and points of view, and that is mostly what we are here for.
]]>After Chris Hartjes cheated on his /dev/hell podcast by joining us in Episode 3, Chris’ partner in crime Ed “Funkatron” Finkler decided to get revenge and come on the show.
Our other guest Miko Federmann is a brilliant PHP and C developer who is a friend of Phil and Ben. She joins us on the show to discuss the recent hullabaloo known as “PHPness Gate” and the obviously connected issue of sexism in the industry.
The second half of the show is Ed talking through how he personally deals with some of his own issues and gives tips to how other people can do the same.
Next month we’ll be back to bitching about something, telling you about new awesome PHP projects and using lots of swears, promise!
]]>We also talk a little bit about how PHP has been (and is continuing) to move towards a post-framework world thanks to independant framework-agnostic components - and of course we talk with Chris about unit-testing.
]]>Note: The sound quality in this one is just awful, so sorry about that. This is the first time I have tried recording a podcast in a group like this, The quality will be considerably better next time around. If you want to skip this one then fair enough, but please come back for the third episode. Phil
