Mac is closed until June 4th. Email disabled on my phone. Slack deleted from my phone. Vacation has begun. Now. How long until I stop reflexively checking for work notifications? 😳

I am overwhelmed with gratitude by the support of the PHP Community today. Thank you for thinking of my family and I as we mourn the loss of my father. We're truly grateful to be surrounded by such a great group of people.

Choose the right tool for the team. Too often ppl choose what they think is the right tool for the job without thinking about the team and the tech strategy. You end up with too many different technologies you have to support and maintain and it causes maintenance problems.

Sometimes, if I’m not on call, I uninstall Slack AND email on the weekend. I am really bad about reflexively checking opening these apps for no real reason.

When the product guys says, "the data already exists" do not make the assumption that the data in question is readily accessible in the format you need for this project. #IveBeenBurnedBefore #TrustButVerify #Hashtags.

Dear Jr, Developers, EVERY Sr. Developer you know and admire for what they know or can do has spent time this week staring blankly at code and screaming in their head "WHY DOESN'T THIS WORK?" It's not just you. :)

We completely changed the auth system, deployed it this morning and, so far, everything is working. Smooth rollouts freak me out.

PSA: when sending a slack to a busy person, never say “hi” and wait for a response before typing what you need to say.
