The Old Guard of
summary
A panel recounts the ten-year history of PUG Roma (founded July 2010), covering community meetups, the adoption of Composer (by Jordi Boggiano) as dependency management, public GitHub repositories and small tooling experiments. The session presents a concrete analytics example—a 50-line piece of code that processed 2 TB and ~13 billion events—shows prototypes that were actually shipped, and discusses tradeoffs encountered when migrating away from PHP while arguing PHP remains suitable in many contexts.
