About us
The Seattle PHP User Group (SeaPHP UG) is a volunteer-run PHP user group, and invites anyone with a desire to talk and learn about PHP and related technologies to gather together, share their knowledge, and promote the PHP community in the Seattle, WA, and Puget Sound area.
This group currently meets monthly to sharpen skills, network with other PHP developers in the area, learn new ideas and technologies, find jobs, and laugh. Check our meetup page regularly for details about each upcoming meetup.
In 2016, Seattle PHP became a 501c3 organization. This means donations you make, can be tax deductible.
How We Communicate
Please review our Code of Conduct.
The Seattle PHP community uses 2 types of communication on Meetup - the Mailing List and Message Board. We use the mailing list for developer discussions — asking/answering PHP questions, frameworks/CMS, Databases, architectural trade-offs, and receiving announcements. The Message Board is great for things like job postings, requests for work, event announcements, and sharing interesting news articles.
If you are a recruiter or you are offering a job, please use the Message Board to post the job opportunities
We encourage you to attend in-person meetups to announce jobs. Connect with people you want to hire! We provide a few minutes of dedicated open mic time at the beginning of the monthly meetups. Thanks for participating!

Dr. Claude-Love or, How I stopped worrying and learned to love the robot.
·OnlineOnlineAt this point, Claude is near ubiquitous when it comes to coding tooling. It has stormed on the scene, taken over our terminal apps, and created more load-bearing phrases than anyone thought possible. We will explore how we've used Claude in our monolithic codebase that started as a Zend Framework 1 project and some jQuery and started to transform it to modern PHP and using Vue with Typescript in place of jQuery. The load-bearing result here is that this talk should leave you with some tips and tricks so you don't have to push back as much. We will look at where Claude excels, where Claude falls down, and how we've shaped our Claude to do the work we need it to do the most.
### Presented by Matt Trask
Matt is an API, history, and coffee nerd right now. Currently a senior software engineer at Gymdesk, and is probably listening to a vinyl record of a band from his youth when he isn't building stuff with Claude. You can find him at matthewtrask.com
