The next PHPSW is on Wednesday 13th November! We'll have a talk, followed by another Q&A session.
Scratching an Itch: Scratch File Superpowers
Speaker: Liam Hammett
Do you often find yourself reaching for scratch files — those unsaved, ephemeral windows where you quickly prototype, test ideas, and run snippets of code. What if these temporary spaces could be supercharged to better fit your everyday needs? We'll journey through how I scratched my own itch to build tooling that makes scratch files so much better, saving you time and brain power when writing code so you can focus on your problem and not boilerplate. We'll learn about the power of autoloaders, dynamically requiring packages on-the-fly, techniques and processes to save time, and even building a functioning REPL.
Q&A: Transitioning to Management
Speaker: Lee Stone

SR2 – Socially Responsible Recruitment (https://www.sr2rec.co.uk/) are kindly helping us host this evening. Thanks to them!
Your first time coming to PHPSW? Welcome!
Here's how the evening tends to run:
- Feel free to turn up from 6:30pm.
- We'll have a selection of soft drinks & alcoholic drinks available from about 6:45pm, all free of charge thanks to our sponsors. It's a great chance to speak to people (we're a friendly bunch!) and do a bit of networking. Just speak to an organiser if you'd like an introduction to people, or just dive in and say "hello!".
- At 7pm, we'll do a quick welcome talk and some community announcements
- At ~7:10pm we'll start our talks
- We finish at ~9pm. We always go for a drink somewhere afterwards to discuss the talks and anything else that takes your fancy. 🐘
