This is a great Composer plugin, providing an API to find all targets of an attribute by hooking into composer autoload generator for zero runtime overhead. This is not something we could add to PHP itself, but in Composer its perfect

github.com/olvlvl/composer-attribute-collector

composer-attribute-collector is a plugin for Composer. Its ambition is to provide a convenient and near zero-cost way to retrieve targets of PHP 8 attributes. In order to do that, after the autoloader has been dumped, the plugin collects attribute targets and generates a static file. Later, these targets can be retrieved through a convenient interface.

You can now find me on any mastodon instance by searching for @beberlei@beberlei.de and get redirected to my @beberlei@phpc.social profile.

Mastodon on your own domain without hosting a server

There is one thing I would like my own server for: discoverability. Much like with e-mail, I want folks to have an easy address to find me, and one that I can keep giving out to everyone even if later I switch to a different Mastodon server. A bit like e-mail forwarding to your ISP’s e-mail service. The good news is: you can use your own domain and share it with other folks. It will link to your actual account. [blog.maartenballiauw.be]

Interesting article from Paul on a more pragmatic approach towards web application structure and architecture. I was deeply into commands for a while (this blog offers enough evidence), but a more pragmatic approach can bring huge simplifications.

Contra Noback on Application services

Matthias Noback's Advanced Web Application Architecture (AWAA from here on) is excellent throughout. ... Having read through the book, I paid special attention to the sections on Application Services. The pattern is a good one, and you should use it, but I find I must offer an alternative approach to the AWAA treatment of the pattern. [paul-m-jones.com]

This is often a problem when we want to help customers @Tideways that are using slim docker images. They have a problem with the installation or configuration, but exactly 0 way of debugging it.

Docker: How To Debug Distroless And Slim Containers

Slim containers are faster (less stuff to move around) and more secure (fewer places for vulnerabilities to sneak in). However, these benefits of slim containers come at a price - such containers lack (the much-needed at times) exploration and debugging tools. [iximiuz.com]
