It's looking like rain in Chicago, so be sure to toss a raincoat or umbrella in your bag before you leave! ☔
jstek.io @johncongdon.bsky.social and myself for a complete breakdown of this year's PHP Tek 2026 (@phparch.com). We'll discuss the highs, the lows, and what's in the future, as well as our normal PHP rhetoric and tomfoolery.

Thanks to Savio Resende (and his wife) for these awesome magnets he made for PHP Tek.
I recently had a random thought, and I might be crazy, but are the Golden State Warriors the only sports franchise that doesn't take on the geographical name of the city or state they play in? Technically, there's "New England", but that seems more grounded as a geographical region.
I feel so honored to be part of this @phparch.com team, and I am so proud of the hard work they put into PHP/JS Tek. It was a wild one, but I'll save that tea for the podcast this Thursday.
I'm not someone who prides himself his graphic arts skills. But I have to say, I HATE FONTS. You would laugh at me if I told you how much time I wasted trying to find a font that had a K in this style. Tried several "What font is it" sites and they all failed me. Eventually I found something close.

If you’re coming to #phptek and didn’t already know this, there is a minor league baseball team about 3 miles from the hotel venue. TheChicagoDogs baseball is worth the visit. Tickets and concessions are all reasonably priced.
Chicago bond. Looking forward to see you all at #phptek next week. Not too late to purchase a ticket at phptek.io
