The PHP Foundation Is Seeking a New Executive Director

New submitter benramsey writes: The PHP Foundation has launched a search for its next executive director.

The Executive Director serves as the operational leader of the PHP Foundation, defining its strategic vision and translating it into reality while managing day-to-day operations and serving as the primary bridge between the Board, staff, community, and sponsors.

While the programming language PHP is over 30 years old, the PHP Foundation was only created in 2021. The Executive Director will be responsible for maturing the foundation's internal structure and will play a crucial role in ensuring the foundation can effectively support this vital ecosystem.

Interested parties are encouraged to submit a cover letter describing their interest and relevant experience, resume or CV, and a brief vision statement detailing the applicant's understanding of the position, key opportunities and challenges they see for the foundation, and their approach to the role.

Unfortunately, it's moving to TypeScript. As someone who has been a PHP engineer for 20 years, PHP outside of WordPress and a handful for Laravel shops is all but dead.

"Unfortunately"? TypeScript is great. I actually enjoy working with Next.js and TypeScript.

Yes, sort of. Also, a Frankenstein version also lives on inside Meta as Hack where software developers love to repeat OO enterprise anti-patterns like unnecessary layers of abstraction and Hungarian notation.
