So, I’m in Chicago for the remainder of the week attending php|tek 2008. The conference is both business and pleasure, since work is paying my way but being here is significantly interesting on a personal level. I’ve really enjoyed developing in PHP even since that first project in which I was forced to work with it, but I’m terribly out of touch with the PHP community in general. There is so much noise out there, and when you’ve already got a small team of developers that you enjoy interacting with, it’s easy to stop searching for the signals out there.
That being said, I honestly believe that it’s a short-sighted snare that sells short both the individual and the team they serve on. That’s part of why I’m here. I’m sure there will be some noise, but I’m hoping for some solid signal in there too.
