The #Symfony 5 book is about creating a "real" project. Not a "Hello-World"-style project. Not just PHP and a database.
The final infrastructure is full of services. Here is the diagram:

Let's take a moment to thank all #Symfony contributors who spent some of their free time to help the project in one way or another. Almost 15 years! 🙏♥️

I'm excited. Very excited. I'm working on a new project. To be announced during #SymfonyCon. It's about #Symfony. It's something you will like. It's something I did in the past, several times. I'm doing it again. Wish me luck. More info very very soon.

Recently, I've noticed a bad trend (is it just me?): websites start to drop Firefox support. For websites I visit on a regular basis (banks, SaaS products, ...), I had to launch Chrome for 1 website a few months ago, to more than 5 now. Please, don't let us down, give us choice.

Today is a very special day. We're celebrating 20 years of #Sensio (@SensioGrey, @SensioLabs, @Blackfireio and @Symfony). Tonight, 600 people (employees, alumni, and people who made this journey possible) will join @sensiogreg and me on Paris's biggest green rooftop. Exciting!

Sad day for the #Symfony community. Symfony would not be Symfony without @weaverryan. Symfony blogget since 2009, core team member, magician at SymfonyCasts, speaker, and more. He needs our support. Time to give back. gofundme.com/f/support-ryans…

Do you think OSS devs are breaking BC in patch releases intentionally (semver anyone)? Nope, they are humans like you, they make mistakes.
It's like saying that you should never deploy bugs in production. Sure. But human beings are not perfect, stop whining and deal with it.

I’ve been merging #symfony PRs like crazy lately. We went from 260 PRs down to about 140 in a week. That includes new features for 5.2 and big fixes across the board. I’m exhausted but I feel great.

This is the first time I find a tab vs spaces argument REALLY interesting. IMHO we should reopen the discussion in the #PHP community at large.
@symfony , did you know this point? Is this relevant for the diversity initiative?

Pro tip for OSS maintainers: don’t use “simple”/“easy”/“of course”/…
Pro tip for OSS users: don’t use “finally available!”/“at last!”/“been waiting for XXX for years”/“3 years and still not fixed?!”/… Help and contributions are always welcome :)

I think about the #Symfony community often. I'm thankful for your contributions. I'm thankful for the commitment and the time given by the core team but also by many individuals helping in some way. It's the sum of small and big contributions that makes Open-Source work at scale.

I've just removed “stupid” words from #blackfireio docs: words like easy, simply, obviously, basically, of course, … Feels great! Especially when some of the features I described a long time ago do not feel so obvious/simple/easy anymore even for me :) /cc @blackfireio

My yearly reminder that you should NOT use env vars to configure your #Symfony application. Use env vars ONLY if you want to be able to change values WITHOUT redeploying your application (aka flushing the cache). Parameters ARE the way to configure applications.

I used to say that documentation is more important than code. Time to refine. Community is more important than documentation, which is more important than code. #Symfony is a community, not just random shared #PHP code. symfony.com/blog/diversity-i…

French also available leanpub.com/en-route-vers-sy…
As for the printed book, 100% of the revenue goes to Symfony SAS to help fund the development of the framework. I get 0.
Thank you for your support ♥️

Never used #Symfony 4.4+ (no-config via Flex and auto-wiring, auto-injection, maker, messenger, Docker support, ...)? You're missing out on a great DX. Starting a project is pure joy, work on YOUR business logic right away. Thanks to the many contributors who made this a reality.
