I tasked an AI agent with the implementation of an algorithm from a research paper. 15 minutes later: clean code, green tests, plausible visualizations. Hours later: I'm still not sure if it's correct.

What happens when AI generates code faster than you can understand the domain?

I want to make the out-of-the-box experience of PHPUnit's HTML code coverage report accessible to everyone:

If you have red-green color vision deficiency then I would very much appreciate your feedback. Please comment on the issue! Thank you.

🚀 @spriebsch@phpc.social and I just wrapped up our weekly editorial meeting for @phpreads@phpc.social.

Can't wait to hear what you think of Issue 3 dropping tomorrow!

withConsecutive() was removed in PHPUnit 10. The workarounds were ugly. PHPUnit 13 finally fixes this properly:

Here is a video recording of my "Test smarter, not harder" livestream about PHPUnit 13:

Here is the problem with most PHPUnit questions: you either get answers from outdated blog posts, conflicting StackOverflow threads, or AI that confidently gives you the wrong solution.

So I am doing something different.

PHPUnit Office Hours: one hour each month where you can ask your questions directly to the person who created the framework in 2000 and still maintains it today.

Your real-world challenges. Your specific codebase. Live answers you can trust.

I have released #PHPUnit 13:

A moment that perfectly captures what I love about the PHP community. 📸

This photo taken by @asgrim@phpc.social evokes memories of an afternoon at @phpday@phpc.social when @GeeH@phpc.social, @ocramius@mastodon.social, @rob@social.akrabat.com, @ciaran@mcnulty.social, and I were deep in conversation about mutation testing and property-based testing.

It's the combination of collaboration, great discussions, and socialising that makes conferences like this special: you come for the talks, but you stay for the hallway track and the friends who challenge your ideas and help you grow.

The first recordings of presentations of mine have arrived on @phpc_tv@phpc.social and I have started to collect them in a playlist:

So @afilina@phpc.social did a thing that motivated me to write some words:
