This also gave me an excuse to test how well my cross-video fade transitions are working inside of my video editor.

Not bad by the looks of it!

Yeah, I've used a macro before to enter my password but that's janky and doesn't always work because Bluetooth doesn't like me.

Even second hand keyboards still run for £60 or so, plus I want the smaller one because the Touch ID board is smaller.

Yeah, I just want a tiny little module that goes on my desk or on the side of my keyboard.

I won't be working on PXP as part of my role, but I am still working on PXP in my spare time. More info on that coming soon!

Thanks Karl!

What I'd really be interested in, in the future, is a compiler for PHP. If I can write the same language for web applications, scripts _and_ systems-level things, I think my (programming) life would be complete tbh.

I wouldn't say the project is dead, just on hold. The idea of a superset language is still really interesting, but at the same time I think there's a lot more movement on the PHP internals now with features that I'd add through a superset, so it doesn't make too much sense.

The short explanation is a fast static analyser (focus on type checking right now) and a language server built on the same engine. This should bring PHPStorm level intellisense to other editors, if not better than PHPStorm. Foundational tools for PHP development imo.

Lol, this would also be quite a good video I guess!

I like the idea of short videos because they're easy to consume.

Most of the stuff I'm doing in my spare time is PXP-focused, so perhaps 15-30 min videos of me working on a particular feature could be interesting?
