What happened last week - issue #26

This week: PHP UK, JS World, Twig, AI and more.

What happened last week

I’m a bit late again. This time it’s because PHP UK Conference happening in London. I’m spending two days learning what’s happening in the PHP space, meeting new people, enjoying the city, and… learning a bit about Rust.

Overall this conference marathon is pretty exciting, but I’m also happy that it ends soon, and I will be able to rest a bit soon.

Twig Smoke Rendering — Tomas Votruba

This is a three-part article about creating a smoke renderer for Twig (but it’s also possible to convert to use with Blade or Latte). I never thought it could be so complicated to parse and test PHP templates.

Meet Spaghettify — Jonathan Miller

Finally, a perfect way to use AI. Thanks to OpenAI you make your code worse, introduce bugs, add useless comments, and more. All this with one click of a button. What a beautiful world we live in.

I was at the JS World and VueJS Amsterdam — Maciek Palmowski

I wrote a review of my visit at JSWorld and VueJS Amsterdam. It was a truly amazing experience, and now I want to be there, on the stage.

Nuxt DevTools - Anthony Fu

I was there, in Amsterdam, when Anthony clicked publish. It’s a really amazing set of tools that will make your Nuxt development much easier.

@clack/prompts — Nate Moore

Nate released an amazing package for prompts. I’m really thinking to use it in my Buddy CLI tool. It looks so snazzy.

Eleventy v2.0.0, the stable release

One of my favorite SSG just reached released v2.0.0. There are quite a lot of interesting changes, like faster builds, incremental builds, and fewer dependencies. Congrats to the whole team.
