I have been working on many Symfony projects in my career and one of the most common problems where customers call our company is that their software is blocked in the old framework version, or they are not maintainable because it costs a lot to find and fix bugs. Open / Comment

Searching for a remote job doesn’t have to look like this:
spending 24/7 scouring job boards
turning LinkedIn upside down.
waiting for recruiters to contact you.

Instead, the process should be more like this:
sign up on @sixnomads_bot.
state your tech stack, desired salary, and timezone.
receive relevant notifications for full-time and remote-only jobs as soon as they are posted.

Users of the 6nomads bot have already landed jobs in companies like MixMax, Calendly, Miro, as well as a number of YC and Techstars startups.

It's your turn next! Find your dream job now, say thank you later Open / Comment

2020-11-04 17:18:34 Common PHP 8.0 Compilation Error Messages
With PHP 8.0 closing on us, it is high time to check our code bases to see if they compile, at least. Here is a list of common PHP 8.0 compilation messages, and what do to with them.

The errors have been found on a corpus of 1756 PHP projects. Any emitted error was compared to the result of the PHP 7.4 compilation. This means that those errors are fatal in PHP 8, while they were absent, or a warning in PHP 7.4. In both cases, in PHP 7.4, it used to be possible to brush them under the carpet, but not in PHP 8.0 anymore. Open / Comment
