ASDF: Multiple PHP versions on localhost

Fri, 11 Jul 2025 20:30:49 +0000

I prefer working with #Docker, but sometimes it’s required to have #PHP locally, and even more - multiple versions of it! There’s a simple way of achieving this: ASDF 😎.

I am excited to announce that I joined uSoftware as a Senior Software Engineer and will provide services for Printify in a Developer Enablement team 🤩!

Open to work

Tue, 27 May 2025 09:55:37 +0000

After four years at GetResponse it’s time for new opportunities! I am looking for a role related to #PHP, ideally in Developer Enablement context, but I am also open for alternatives. Read further for more details.

Pie, new extension installer for #PHP was released! Let’s have a look at it and see what it brings to the table.

40 is a new 20

Thu, 29 Aug 2024 20:40:00 +0000

Four months ago my goal was clear: to feel good with myself again when I hit my 40th birthday. It was true challenge, because last year I barely did any activities, I gained weight and I did not look and feel well. Here’s my story I am truly proud of 😎!

Messenger: consume all transports on Symfony 6.4

Fri, 19 Apr 2024 21:36:12 +0000

It’s hard to believe, but the --all option for the messenger:consume command in Symfony was unavailable until version 7.1 — on lower versions list of transports must be passed explicitly to the executed command. But if you need this, it’s really easy to port this feature to 6.4!

Git Rebase: why you should use it

Mon, 26 Feb 2024 16:14:39 +0000

While working with Git version control system you have quite freedom about how you work with commits and branches. But there are universal practices you should know to keep your repository clean. How rebase can help you with this?

Final word about `unfinalize`

Wed, 04 Oct 2023 16:25:10 +0000

Recently I’ve created pull request to #PHP-CS-Fixer that aimed to prevent installing stevebauman/unfinalize along with friendsofphp/php-cs-fixer, effectively blocking Fixer to be installed as a dev dependency for that tool. That escalated quickly 😅!

Dockerfile: runtime definition

Tue, 28 Feb 2023 22:26:42 +0100

A Dockerfile is to a project what sheet music is to a song - it ensures that the same operations are always performed, in the same order, with the same result.

Docker for local development

Mon, 23 Jan 2023 22:54:53 +0100

Docker has been in the developers’ world for years, but for many people it is still something remote and enigmatic. In a series of posts, I would like to introduce both theory and practice - you will find out how Docker can help you in your daily work, how to prepare an environment based on Docker and how to use this environment.

Organising work in GitHub and Gitlab

Mon, 05 Dec 2022 00:17:25 +0200

In everyday work with code, it is important not to waste time on operational matters. However, how not to get lost in your and other people’s reports and contributions? How do you know what to look at? How not to miss anything? Both GitHub and Gitlab have their own activity monitoring mechanisms - let’s take a look at them!

Saeghe: new package manager for PHP

Thu, 03 Nov 2022 21:45:25 +0100

Today, I came across Saeghe — new package manager for PHP. Official site describes it as “modern PHP package manager that boosts your code”, let’s check it out!

Composer: binary-only Docker images

Tue, 01 Nov 2022 22:35:19 +0100

Few months ago I came with an idea to build Composer’s Docker images, but containing only binary file. Yesterday my pull request was merged, and now it’s possible to use such images in your own Docker builds as the simplest way to get Composer binary in your own image! 😁

Drawbacks behind Laravel Facades

Wed, 24 Aug 2022 22:32:36 +0200

There were many discussions if #Laravel’s facades implement Gang of Four’s Facade Pattern, but I think it does not matter at this point - the Laravel team won’t change naming convention anyway. Naming is not a problem, I see other issues with facades - let’s look at it!

Code Review: good practices

Sat, 09 Jul 2022 18:05:59 +0200

What makes Code Review process good? What should you do, and what you should not? Let me share with you my experience on this 🙂

Gitlab CI Workflows (PoC)

Thu, 07 Jul 2022 23:45:19 +0200

Today I came across fantastic idea that was implemented as Proof of Concept in Gitlab some time ago: CI Workflows! I’m pretty excited about it and really hope it will be shipped soon 😁

Laravel Pint: a study of ambivalence

Tue, 28 Jun 2022 17:44:49 +0200

In recent days Laravel Pint was introduced and caused havoc of ambivalence - some love it, some hate it. Personally I have mixed feelings about it, and I wanted to share my thoughts with the other developers.

PHPStan in virtualised environments

Mon, 20 Jun 2022 12:18:29 +0200

PHPStan 1.7.15 brings small, but helpful feature: support for relative paths in editorUrl for virtualised environments. It’s even better when it makes you a repository collaborator - yes, it’s my initiative! 🥹

Referencing sections in Gitlab CI

Wed, 08 Jun 2022 15:59:53 +0200

Gitlab CI definition might get really complex. In order to reduce redundancy you can use many useful features and syntax sugar, like !reference.

A Year at GetResponse

Tue, 31 May 2022 22:09:52 +0200

I really don’t know when it happened, but it’s been a year since I joined #GetResponse as Software Architect 😵 It was an intense and fruitful time worth summing up!

New in 🐘 PHP 8.2

Fri, 27 May 2022 09:02:25 +0200

PHP 8.2 is set to be released at the end of 2022, but final date will be announced at some point in the future. In this post I will evaluate all the features, improvements and deprecations. I’ll try to keep this article up-to-date with RFCs that will be accepted after publishing.

Reusable code snippets in Hugo

Tue, 26 Apr 2022 00:36:07 +0200

I don’t like code redundancy, so I wanted to create convention for sharing snippets between language versions of the posts (because code is always in English 😉). As it turned out, it’s not that obvious in Hugo.

Docker Compose: secrets available during build

Tue, 19 Apr 2022 20:05:37 +0200

Building images introduces many challenges, one of them is safety of persisted data. How to avoid publishing sensitive data, that should remain private?

Rector and ECS: new configurator API

Sun, 17 Apr 2022 22:47:16 +0200

Rector is a tool for automatic code refactoring. ECS allows keeping coding standards in the project. From few days, configuration of both tools is more developer friendly.

Hugo: i18n with multi-domain site

Thu, 14 Apr 2022 02:52:29 +0200

As I wrote in introduction post - I tend to overthink. I decided to start with absolute minimum, as if against myself. So, how did I manage to design this site?

Hello World!

Sun, 10 Apr 2022 01:04:46 +0200

9 years. It took NINE years to finally create landing page for Codito. Yeah, there was site, but it was always “in progress”, inviting to come back later.

Why I wasn’t able to do it through these years? There are several reasons, but the most important is: overthinking! 😅
