The Bob Bloom Show

Researching general podcasting, and the state of PHP podcasting, was a new, and eye-opening experience. My podcasts impart more inherent value to my potential Umbrella Sponsors than I assumed.

I am bullish on PHP. On its current state. On its long term success. There are substantive reasons underlying my bullishness. One reason is the four year old PHP Foundation, which is successfully fulfilling its mission to provide financial support and guidance to PHP language developers. The reports of PHP's death are greatly exaggerated.

This is my third of three episodes understanding the Go programming language's vital importance to the FrankenPHP app server. In this episode, I talk about Go's first-party net-http package, Go Modules, and Go's compilation.

This is my second of three episodes understanding the Go programming language's vital importance to the FrankenPHP app server. FrankenPHP relies on goroutines, an essential feature of Go. This episode is about goroutines.

This is first of three episodes understanding the Go programming language's vital importance to the FrankenPHP app server. In this episode, I talk about my resistance, and resentment, having to delve into The Low-Level Stuff. And, about ChatGPT powering my breakthrough learning this Stuff.

Seeing a video of an integrated AI code generation and deployment platform, triggered a panic attack that AI did indeed make my PHP Serverless Project obsolete. I had examined this last month, in my Update podcast this very question, and my conclusion is the same.

Getting down to bedrock with the question: "what is a process?". An important ancillary question arises: "what is a thread?".

Nova's use of Fortify did not play nicely with my custom Laravel authentication guard. My regularly scheduled life was held in abeyance for a couple of weeks while I sorted this out, refreshed my apps, and moved all my apps back to Forge from Cloudways. My own experience with Cloudways was a microcosm of PHP's dichotomy.

A recent announcement about WordPress has the long term potential of doing something about this dichotomy.

There is renewed interest in PHP's low level roots. The low-level root of PHP is the language it is written in: C.

This renewed interest includes compiling PHP feature code with the PHP interpreter, into one executable binary. And, includes speeding up code execution by way of the C language's process forks.

This all has direct relevance to PHP serverless. Which has heightened my desire to understand C.

FrankenPHP is now under the auspices of the PHP Foundation. This has further heightened my desire to understand the low level underpinings of PHP.

In this episode, I talk about this mini-trend, outline what it means to be a low level programming language, and take a quick look at random access memory. All this as a prelude to a special mid-month episode going over low level concepts in C in a classic textbook.

I have a rather unique viewpoint of serverless in general, and of PHP serverless in particular. A viewpoint that I express in my podcasts, and in my PHP Serverless Project. I have not yet explicitly expressed this viewpoint in one concise podcast, so I wanted to do so now. In this episode, I enumerate the seven things about serverless that I think.
