In the hospital tonight with Leanna to get an EEG (electrical scan of the brain) to take our “why is Ryan weaker and weaker every day?” research to the next level.

MRI day! And it’s a big one! Is my recent physical deterioration due to tumor growth that will quite likely kill me? Or something else (unexpected brain swelling)

Me, 2 days after falling and catching myself with my teeth. Walking has gone to shit but we’re debugging today 💪

By searching their names + obituary, discovered that 2 more GBM (my cancer) online / phone friends are gone. They were both beautiful people i barely knew, but they each meant so much to so many. FU GBM!!!

That’s even more insane. Livecomponents is so powerful, but under-known

This is built with symfony and LiveComponents 🤯. That means zero JavaScript written and no build system. Amazing how far we’ve come worldbuilder.sylvainblondeau.dev

Today I turn 41.

Cons: have this mean-ass brain tumor
Pros: unlike last year, I’m at home. Also, my MRI from Monday is stable and I watched my baby cousin get married last weekend

Plenty to be grateful for

@symfonycasts.com @weaverryan.bsky.social I've been working with Symfony and Doctrine for years, I just discovered a fantastic (and basic) thing thanks to you 😲

Fuck cancer and tbh I gotta get out and walk more now that spring is here… I’m slowing down and that’s unacceptable 💪

Result of the MakerBundle Symfonycasts hack day: github.com/symfony/make...

It's always been my dream to have a business where your support of us translates into support for Symfony. I addition to supporting Symfony financially directly, I love that we're able to do things like this - thank you!

MRI was promising (not a disaster as was possible): tumor is getting killed and has receded back from my corpus callosum. Translation: the trial is still working! Caveats: this can’t cure the cancer & won’t work forever.

But screw that! Today is a day of celebrating! Not dead or immediately dying 💪

MRI results from Monday are unclear: will find out more tomorrow. Now back to work! 😇💪

Internal Symfonycasts hack day next Friday on MakerBundle: CI needs help, need to simplify to ease maintenance, property hook changes on make:entity & more. My cancer has not been kind to Maker, time to revitalize & make(r) it sustainable 🙃

Treatment makes my hemoglobin go to the toilet and energy plummets (all expected). Solution? Become a vampire 🧛‍♂️

Before things went to shit 1 year ago, i was tech editor on a book written by a friend, professor & long-time Symfony evangelist. Got this in the mail: a total surprise. Also: fantastic cover art from @nostarchpress.bsky.social
