Once again, as a perk for joining our list, you receive The Payload a day earlier than the weekly Symfony Station communiqué. But still, check the site tomorrow for the latest developments.
As you know, we share a lot of information so we recommend viewing this email in your browser via the link above.

Welcome to this week's edition of The Payload. It's your review of the essential news in the Symfony and PHP development communities focusing on protecting democracy.
|
There's good content in all of our categories, so please take your time and enjoy the items most relevant and valuable to you. Plus it's December so there are lots of Advent calendars.
|
This is why we publish on Thursdays. So you can savor it over your weekend.

A quick note regarding this from last week -> my best friend is visiting next week so there won't be a communiqué. I'll be busy trying to inject some joy into my life.
|
Their trip was delayed a few days so I did have time for a mini-newsletter this week pulled from my Fediverse curation. But, there won't be one next week.
|
|
My opinions will be in bold. And will often involve cursing. Because humans. Especially tech bros.

Symfony

|
As always, we will start with the official news from Symfony.
|
Highlight -> This week, Symfony celebrated the SymfonyCon 2024 Vienna conference with great success. This annual event brought together the global Symfony community to exchange ideas, learn new things, and collaborate on contributions to the Symfony project. In addition, the upcoming Symfony 7.3 version introduced support for pre-compressing web assets and a new userIsGranted() security method to test user authorization without relying on the session.

Featured Item

In other words, "a reactionary tech boss is a liberal tech boss who hired a bunch of pals only to have them turn around and start a union." And also: "Tech founders say things were simpler when they were running startups, but what they miss is that the reason no one asked their startup to seriously engage with the social harms it caused is the because the startup was largely irrelevant to society, while the large company it turned into is destroying millions of peoples' lives today."

This is something we have seen many times, with rare exceptions like Wikipedia, Drupal, and a few others in our space.
