Self proclaimed code butcher, I won't be satisfied until there's nothing left to remove from the codebase. If the build obviously has to be green, the merge request diff on the other hand better be red!
Staff developer at Connect&GO, I have been using PHP as the main element in my toolbox for 15+ years.

I Used to Hate PHP. Then I Got Good at It.

Session en anglais - Débutant

My PHP journey started with frustration and doubt. From outdated hosts to clunky frameworks, I questioned my skills. But with Composer, Symfony, and PHP's evolution over the last 15 years, I've overcome these challenges and now proudly embrace PHP as a powerful tool. As PHP got better, I did too: PHP 8 is great, the ecosystem is healthy, no reason to be ashamed anymore :)
