What happened last week - issue #27
This week: Astro, PHP, AI and much more.
What happened last week
After my conference marathon, I can finally publish my newsletter on time.
I’m catching up on everything I missed for the last two weeks. At the same time, we’re already packing for our flight to Malaga, where we’ll spend the upcoming month. I can’t wait for it - mainly because it will be much warmer.
Last but not least - don’t forget to join Nate Finch and me. During the 4th episode of the Code and Coffee Show, we’ll dive into the topic of serverless functions.

I was at PHP UK in London — Maciek Palmowski
I was at the PHP UK in London. It’s the biggest PHP conference in Europe. I enjoyed and learned a lot from it. Also, I love visiting London.
So, what's next? — Denis Pushkarev
Open Source can be excellent. Thanks to Open Source, we can access millions of libraries and exchange knowledge with other developers. Sadly, it’s far from perfect. Denis, Core JS's creator and maintainer, wrote about his bumpy road. It’s one of those cases where Open Source failed.
Lary "Quickdraw" A.I. Example Thread — Jeffrey Way
Laracasts added a bot to their discussion forums. Lary "Quickdraw" A.I. tries to answer all the questions when they are submitted. Overall, I think it’s a great use of AI. Other users can concentrate on more complex questions.
First look at Nuxt DevTools — Alexander Gekov
Alexander dives deeper into Nuxt DevTools. Really worth reading and using if you are working with Nuxt.
Hello (PHP) World! — Viktor Jarnheimer
Viktor created a fantastic image showing how PHP world looks like. You’ll find everything there - WordPress Prison, Laravel worshippers, elephant park and more. It really made my day.
I started from scratch (again) — Elian Van Cutsem
I had a pleasure of meeting Elian at JS World/VueJS Amsterdam. He’s also a big Astro fan like me and he just redesinged his blog. What’s really cool is the fact he created a very detailed post about it.
