Got lucky and ran into @rdohms in the KLM lounge on my way home from Amsterdam, and #phpverse. We hadn't spoken in a while so it was good to catch up.

No selfie.

I really enjoyed the #PHPVerse event today. Great job to @brendt, @naderman, and all the guest speakers, panelists, and #JetBrains crew!

I'm really proud of what we managed to do with #PHPverse today. Thank you everyone

It's the #PHPVerse afterparty at #AmsterdamPHP!

#PHPverse is not a celebration of the PHP community, it's a carefully branded sales pitch.

The lack of racial, gender, and technological diversity makes it clear: this isn’t a community event, it’s a marketing funnel, dominated by J******s staff and L*****l affiliates, disguised as one.

A real community event should reflect the full spectrum of voices and tools that make PHP what it is, not just what sells licenses and subscriptions.

"PHP, 30 years of generating strings on the server"

A big welcome to those new users here thanks to the #PHPVerse mentioning phpc.social :)

I mean… This is a good reason to attend #phpverse tomorrow, don't you think?

Will you be in Amsterdam June 17th, or can you make it there? Join us to celebrate PHP turning 30 after #phpverse at Café Restaurant Dauphine with AmsterdamPHP from 6:30pm - RSVP https://www.meetup.com/amsterdamphp/events/307306474/ #php #phpc
