Senior Symfony Developer (15+ Years Exp) Seeking New Opportunities — Remote/Contract
Hi r/symfony! 👋
(Yes, I got help from an LLM to summarise my intention)
I’m Emre, a Senior Fullstack Developer with 15+ years of deep PHP/Symfony expertise, and I’m currently exploring new opportunities. If your team needs someone who can architect complex systems, lead projects, or modernize legacy codebases—let’s chat!
Why I love Symfony:
* Built scalable platforms like TRT News (42 multilingual subsites), Sylius-based e-commerce (Bilimkutusu.com), and academic journal systems (Dergipark).
* Contributed to Symfony’s ecosystem as an open-source maintainer and PHP community organizer (founder of AnkaraPHP).
* Ran workshops and conference talks on Symfony best practices (check my [YouTube](https://youtube.com/@delirehberi) for proof 😄).
What I’m looking for:
* Remote roles (open to contracts or full-time).
* Symfony-centric backend work, API development, or fullstack projects (React/Vue/Node.js).
* Teams passionate about clean code, DevOps (Docker, AWS/GCP), or innovative PHP tooling.
My GitHub/LinkedIn:
* [GitHub](https://github.com/delirehberi) (open-source contributions)
* [LinkedIn](https://linkedin.com/in/delirehberi)
* Resume: [emre.xyz/resume.pdf](https://emre.xyz/resume.pdf)
Bonus: I’m also a functional programming nerd (Haskell!), love mentoring junior devs, and have a knack for migrating legacy systems to modern Symfony setups.
If you’re hiring or know someone who is, feel free to DM or comment below. Happy to share war stories about debugging Symfony apps or discuss why Nix + Symfony is a match made in heaven! 🚀
Thanks for being an awesome community—keep making PHP beautiful!
P.S. Open to relocation (EU-friendly) or freelance projects. Let’s build something great! 💻✨

Post reactions management and storage
Hi everyone,
For a cms solution, how to manage reactions on a post ? (Like, dislike, love, etc) in a scalable way ? Since each reaction is at a least write query then an update to a counter etc.
What database ? Or queue system do i need to manage it effectively?

A Minimal Identity Map for Laravel Eloquent | ollieread - PHP and Laravel expert
Eloquent is a powerful ORM, though it's not without its quirks. One of those quirks is the way it handles model instances, and if you're not careful, you can end up with multiple instances of the same model in memory. This can lead to unexpected behavior…

RANT: Can't Really Understand The JS Fanatics
They say in JS you can do front-end, back-end as well as mobile apps if needed all in JS. Is it really?
For every single thing, you need to learn something from the ground up. React's architecture and coding style is completely different than how Express works. I know I am comparing apples to oranges by comparing front end to back end. But the architecture do change right, unlike what JS fanatics claim that you can do it all in JS. They change so much that they feel like these frameworks are completely a different language. Where is the same JS here except for basic statements?
If they can understand to do so many different frameworks within JS, they might as well learn a new language as everything changes completely within JS from framework to framework.

Prevent "out of memory" when I want list of many files
I have many many files at one folder, around 500.000 files. I want to list them, but server has not many memory to list all of files. Is there a way to list all files step by step by paging?

Why are twig variables supposed to be snakedcase
Twig recommends to name variables in snakecase but why would camelCase not make more sense because every PHP variable is camelCase? Also camelCase looks much nicer for variables.
There are also big Symfony projects like Shopware that use camelCase for twig variable names.

I built Larabuild — a v0.dev-inspired tool for generating Laravel Blade components with Tailwind and live previews
Hey all 👋
I've been working on a little tool called Larabuild — heavily inspired by v0.dev, but tailored specifically for Laravel devs who love Blade and Tailwind.
The idea is simple:
You type what you want (“a hero section with a video background and call to action”), and it gives you clean, previewable Blade + Tailwind v4 components — using props, projects, and your design system context.
Right now:
You get 50 prompts to play with
It supports projects, Live previews, and prop-driven components
It's very much in alpha — things might break, but the core works
I’d love your feedback before polishing and building further
🔗 https://larabuild.com
If you're into Laravel, Tailwind, or tools like v0.dev — I’d love to hear what you think or what you'd want added next.
Thanks!

The tool he used flagged high-latency queries, suggested index changes, helped reduce resource usage and improve query performance.

PHPUnit website redesign: a new look for a historic tool
Hi PHP devs,
I'm currently working on redesigning PHPUnit's official website. A must for our projects, but let's face it: its site was no longer up to scratch.
* Modernized interface
* Revamped user experience
* Landing page generated with the help of AI to test a faster, iterative and responsive approach
The main content (the doc) is now elsewhere, so we had to rethink the very function of the site: inform, orient, reassure.
👉 New site : [https://phpunit-restyle-project.lovable.app/](https://phpunit-restyle-project.lovable.app/)
Your feedback is welcome: bugs, suggestions, or even harsh criticism. I'll take it all!
