Adam Culp 🧗🎸🥁👨‍💻

#1 Stop blaming companies for bad code you wrote. Yes there are influences, but it was YOU who created it, not them.

🗓️ THURSDAY 1/29 | Join @adamculp at 1 P.M. EST for a webinar on the hidden costs of enterprise web app modernization, including actionable strategies to keep your project on track. Can't attend live? Register to get the recording! Sign up >> ter.li/gmhn3s #Zend #PHP

The 2026 State of Open Source Survey is live, and the #Zend team and I want to hear how you're using #PHP and other #OSS technologies. Your anonymous answers will be used to build two industry reports, available free next year: surveymonkey.com/r/FT3SWPL

👩‍💻Considering splitting your PHP monolith into microservices? The transition is rarely a simple lift-and-shift. Our latest blog offers key considerations and solutions for a successful migration. Read the full post here >> ter.li/o1v0cd #Zend #PHP

Some thoughts on microservices versus monolithic applications, and when to modernize.

Howdy to my EU friends. There is a new Professional Services Engineer role open at Perforce/Zend you may be interested in. Check in out, and let them know I sent you. ;-) jobs.lever.co/perforce/aad16…

@EricMann @SunShinePHP Not sure what prompted this, but glad it was a bright spot for you. Thank you, Eric.

I'm not a huge fan of Florida. But visiting with @adamculp at @SunShinePHP was the one thing that kept me going there. Would absolutely love to do it again.

@Yuchenj_UW From what I understand that is kinda what @cursor_ai does for you behind the scenes. I'm starting to dabble.

I saw a guy coding today. Tab 1 ChatGPT. Tab 2 Gemini. Tab 3 Claude. Tab 4 Grok. Tab 5 DeepSeek. He asked every AI the same exact question. Patiently waited, then pasted each response into 5 different Python files. Hit run on all five. Pick the best one. Like a psychopath. It's me.

@assertchris Are you aiming at an Enya with a Jazzmaster/Jaguar/Mustang body type result?

@assertchris That will be amazing!

@GlarryInc Sure. I'm really enjoying the bass. Too bad the stock nut was so bad, and the wiring was wrong from factory. Otherwise, I really like it.

@adamculp Can I post the picture in my official website?

Going to learn some bass. Picked up this sweet Glarry GIB on Amazon. Needs a new nut and pots, but otherwise a very nice guitar. c/ @GlarryInc

After organizing multiple programming user groups for over 15 years, I'm forced to let them go. @Meetup is too expensive and not sustainable for community-run user group communities. (It has been too costly for years, but I continued to pay longer than I should have.)

Do you know someone who is looking for an engineering manager or modernization consultant? If so, please review my profile at linkedin.com/in/adamculp/, and let's discuss how I can help. (Or share this post with them.)

Looking for my next opportunity. Please reach out if you can help, or help spread the word. Thank you. linkedin.com/in/adamculp

@LTLFest Thank you for keeping us safe. Unfortunately, my flight home leaves the following day, not to mention lack of hotel room after Friday. I hope there is some way to be made whole, since I can't stick around for the other days.

@assertchris @adamwathan I could make some introductions if interested. I opted not to hold SunshinePHP in early February 2025, so no clash for early 2025. Also, going to see Slayer tomorrow evening in Louisville. :P

@adamwathan @adamculp 👀

Thinking about maybe doing an event in Miami early in the new year 🤔 Like 300-400 people, one day mini conference type thing. Do I know anyone in the area who can recommend some event spaces or someone to talk to who could help organize something?

If anyone has a connection to the Royal Prince Alfred hospital in Sydney or neuro oncologists anywhere that could help direct me to crack these, please, please let me know. We’re going to war, but I need to connect with the experts to help.

Send help. I'm still trying to process this. Help Ryan.
