If you benefit from some content someone created for free, let them know. I don’t care about “the algorithm;” send them an email if you like to get around that.
I’ve been privileged enough to have a number of people let me know that stuff I’ve created has been helpful. Up until this month all of it has been free, done just to help out. So it’s nice to know that it does!
And that feedback can also help them decide which topics to focus their efforts on.
New PHPRoundtable will be live-streamed this Saturday, and it's shaping up to be our most exciting panel yet. We'll be talking about the state of PHP User Groups worldwide with some of the top UG Organizers. Mark your calendar and join us live. https://youtu.be/I9aDTqwhG6g
If you have a feature you’d like considered for PHP 8.2 & you haven’t opened discussion on the RFC, you have until 23:59:59 on June 21st (today/tomorrow!) to open discussion. That will give the requisite time for discussion & voting before feature freeze. https://externals.io/message/118025
The Midsummer Lands – Hex Map 2
This hexmap sits just north of the last one and focuses on the area around Great Elven Lake, and the cities of Gatherstone and Faewall.

I just heard from someone who has built a career on teaching testing and TDD, and a lot of it is because they saw @grmpyprogrammer give a talk at #AtlantaPHP (probably over a decade ago?).
It’s stories like this that drive me to organize user groups!
If a user group helped you get to where you are today, look up the organizers and thank them. It’ll make their day.
If you write #PHP along with #React, you can also get my React TDD book bundled with the PHP Testing and TDD book by @grmpyprogrammer ! https://leanpub.com/b/php-react-testing
Honored to be bundled with him as he is one of the people who helped me get my start in testing.
My son shared this with me. Normally, I don’t read the comments, but they’re glorious in this. https://youtu.be/YEnbJqLaRNw
