Maintaining PHP Build infrastructure for Windows: Tooling for builds and security updates

Maintaining PHP Build infrastructure for Windows: Tooling for builds and security updates

Most PHP developers never think about how PHP is built. They download it or install it using a command or a pre-built image and get started with their work. That is exactly how it should feel. A build system is doing its job when the final result looks great and works as expected. Behind every official PHP for Windows release is a lot of infrastructure: compilers, SDKs, dependency libraries, extension compatibility, CI pipelines, and security updates that keep the supported PHP versions…

AI and Liability

AI and Liability

AI and Liability Bruce Schneier on the recent German ruling that Google be held liable for errors introduced in their AI overviews: AI agents are agents of the person or organization that deploys them—and should be treated by the law as such. If a company hired human writers to write its summaries, that company would be liable for inaccuracies in those summaries. [...] To allow businesses to hide behind the excuse of faulty AI in those same circumstances would be a massive handout to companies,…

simonw/browser-compat-db

simonw/browser-compat-db Inspired by Mozilla's new MDN MCP service - source code here - I decided to try converting their comprehensive mdn/browser-compat-data repository full of browser compatibility data into a SQLite database. This new GitHub repo includes a Claude Code for web (Opus 4.8) generated script for doing that using sqlite-utils. I wanted the resulting ~66MB SQLite database to be available via the GitHub CDN with open CORS headers. GitHub releases don't have those, but any file…

Quoting Tom MacWright

Quoting Tom MacWright

In the last few months, I've started to see [job applications] that were clearly cowritten by an LLM, link to an LLM-generated portfolio site, which then links to LLM-generated GitHub projects, with purely LLM-generated commit messages. [...] My other reaction is that I don't know anything about these people. They haven't put themselves out there. They haven't said anything true. [...] The perfected, generated, prompted resume is generic and impersonal. It tells me nothing about this person,…
