In the hospital tonight with Leanna to get an EEG (electrical scan of the brain) to take our “why is Ryan weaker and weaker every day?” research to the next level.

MRI day! And it’s a big one! Is my recent physical deterioration due to tumor growth that will quite likely kill me? Or something else (unexpected brain swelling)

We should definitely highlight #DX improvements more often, not only big features! 👌 @symfony has dedicated articles about Developer Xperience improvements for each new minor version, let's push this as well for #PHP. It deserves it! 🐘

A hidden treasure in Doctrine is the Criteria object which lets us modify the query on a relation, e.g. so $ship->getParts() only returns parts over a certain price. Magic! symfonycasts.com/screencast/…

The Clever Criteria System

We've got this super handy "$ship->getParts()" method: it returns all the parts for our starship. But the fiscal year is coming to a close, and we need to plan our budget

Foundry now has it's own command to load dev fixtures! (previously, we recommended using doctrine/fixtures, which is a great package, but overkill for this purpose)

Foundry 2.6 is released 🎉 We've introduced a new command `bin/console foundry:load-stories` you can use to load fixtures in your database see docs for more info symfony.com/bundles/Zenstruc… @zenstruck #php #symfony

Today I turn 41. Cons: have this mean-ass brain tumor Pros: unlike last year, I’m at home. Also, my MRI from Monday is stable and I watched my baby cousin get married last weekend Plenty to be grateful for
