If you love using data providers in PHPUnit, but find defining them verbose (and potentially buggy), then you’ll love the attribute-based approach in PHPUnit. In this episode, I'm stepping through what they are and why they're a great thing.

Recently, Laravel took a $57M Series A investment from Accel. What might this mean for the future of Laravel – for the future of PHP more generally?

StackOverflow partners with OpenAI. What do you think? 11:25

If you're not aware, on May 6th, StackOverflow and OpenAI announced a partnership where OpenAI will have access to StackOverflow's API. This will allow ChatGPT to be trained, with attribution, from StackOverflow's large corpus of data. If you're a StackOverflow user, are you okay with this? Do you feel comfortable knowing that your contributions, which may be uneditable and unremovable, will be used in this way? Are you not bothered by it at all? I'm not wholly comfortable with the announcement, so am sharing my thoughts in this episode. I'd love to get your take.

Good UI is Worth the Investment 14:45

As software designers and developers, how often do we think about — or even put ourselves in the position of — the users whom we’re creating software for? How often have we had to use a poorly designed software, regardless of whether it was a native or web-based app or API? In this episode, I'm sharing my frustration with poorly designed apps and quirky user experience choices. In so doing, I want to encourage you to do what you can, when you can, all the same; to write software with well thought out user interfaces that lead to good user experiences.

Will we end up with AI-generated technical debt? 49:13

49:13

In this episode, unlike in previous ones, I have a guest on the show. I sit down with my friend Andrew Kew to talk about whether AI is a net positive or negative for us as developers, and for society more widely. It was such a solid discussion that I felt my position become a little more open-minded to AI having a positive impact. That said, it was heartening to remember that, when working with AI, that your prompt needs to be very accurate and detailed so that it will do what you want it to do. And, that as good as it is, it has quite a long way to go yet. More specifically for us as developers, customers still need to clearly define requirements, we as developers, need to understand the domain, and that AI's not a replacement for developers, rather a complimentary tool; a sparing partner if you will.

Building web apps in Go is extremely rewarding. No surprise there, right?! However, as Go’s a compiled language, to see changes, you need to recompile and restart them.
