localslackirc VS Packagist

> Really? Just a git command, a button press on GitHub? So why don't they just do it? Why don't they apply the patches when people send the code in then?

Because the patch was bad.

> Something like a month later the guy just rewrote the patch without even engaging with me.

Do you think he'd have done that if the patch was good? Was his version completely identical to yours?

> Yeah, that made me feel like shit

At least it didn't introduce a new bug to every user… I'm sure collective feelings of the userbase were less harmed in this case.

> Sorry but maintainers don't have the moral superiority to demand free labor

But you have the moral superiority to demand free labour from maintainers, to review, improve, test your patch?

Look at this pull request for example: https://github.com/ltworf/localslackirc/pull/387

How could a thing like that be merged?

When asked to split it, he just proceeded to open tens of pull requests that were all based on the previous one, in a chain. And every commit contains thousands of lines of unrelated changes with what the description is.

Then he got upset.

I find that using slack from IRC, and having the option to deprive some people/channels to notify me is very helpful to reduce the amount of distractions.

I could never understand why people insist on using requests rather than the stdlib (which works just fine).

When async became a thing, I remember hitting some bug in aiohttp so I wrote myself a tiny (just doing the bit I needed) HTTP async client, which I figured was easier than wrestling aiohttp into compliance.

These days aiohttp is quite nice for async, and for sync I just use the stdlib.

I normally use [localslackirc](https://github.com/ltworf/localslackirc) to use slack.

I can grep through the logs if I need to find something. That's really really fast compared to their search on the website.

I also get other advantages such as not automatically being forced to see all the reaction GIFs and being able to silence notifications from certain users that abuse them.

What will we do next time? Actually, the whole package is ready, and all that's left is to publish it on Packagist.

publishing our work on https://packagist.org/

The latter one is based on nix OS using Symfony flex recipes and PHP packagist composer. The flex devenv should work cross-platform on Linux, Windows, and Mac. "The main difference to other tools like Docker or a VM is that it neither uses containerization nor virtualization techniques. Instead, the services run natively on your machine."

Composer is (still) the defacto standard package manager, with the Packagist repo being the standard place to find and install libraries.

Sorta—it looks like they were most enforced by convention until May 2015, when they finally become enforced [0]. Still, that's a good one that I hadn't thought of, and they at least had the convention in place.

Scanning your image for vulnerabilities is a critical step before you deploy it to production. You can use Snyk to scan your PHP Docker image and identify and resolve vulnerabilities. The Snyk Vulnerability Database includes records for all popular operating systems and dependencies, including PHP packages published to Packagist.

No. The only linked commercial thing I know - is Nova admin panel interface lib. But you don't have to use it. (Filament or Encore are free and suitable). Modules are free ( packagist.org and gthub.com ) and you should handle them with standard composer package tool. But you need to code. It is not WordPress like CMS

Once you understand the underlying principles of a concept, you're free to find a library via packagist.org to use.

For strings I use Stringy (https://github.com/danielstjules/Stringy) for arrays I built my own Collection library, but pretty sure there are plenty in packagist (https://packagist.org/)

I guess I tried downloading a old version. and have to download a newer version of apiclient I found on https://packagist.org/packages/google/apiclient with monolog/monolog: ^2.9||^3.0. I'll try that in a second, I am away from computer now.
