Technology — a classification, not a measurement. An on-box language model (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-FP8, prompt version 1) read this channel’s own recent posts on 12 September 2026 and assigned it the closest of 31 fixed categories, at 99% confidence. This is a model’s judgement about what the channel is likely to be about, not a fact this register measured the way a subscriber count or a view count is measured — it can be revised on a later pass, and it carries no weight anywhere else on this page. How this classification works, and the other topics.

20 posts held, back to 3 June 2021 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 18 pages of Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 20 posts for this entry, the most recent from 11 September 2023. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
505 reactions across 18 posts, in 6 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 69.3% of them.
| Reaction | Count | Share | Share, drawn |

No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 19 of the 20 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 505 reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 20 most recent posts we hold, published 3 June 2021 to 11 September 2023, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.
An Internet of PHP PHP is big. The trolls can proclaim its all-but-certain “death” until the cows come home, but no amount of heckling changes that the Internet runs on PHP. The evidence is overwhelming. What follows is a loosely organised collection of precisely that evidence.

Unveiling the secret power of encapsulation In the world of software development, encapsulation is a fundamental concept that plays a crucial role in building robust, maintainable, and scalable applications. Encapsulation is one of the four pillars of object-oriented programming (OOP), along with inheritance, polymorphism, and abstraction. It provides a mechanism to bundle related data and methods into a single uni…

Avoiding the pitfalls of abstract and common services In the ever-evolving world of software engineering, creating robust and maintainable applications is a constant challenge. One common mistake that engineers often make is creating overly common or abstract services. While the idea of reusability and abstraction is appealing, it can lead to a host of problems, including violations of the single responsibility pri…

Why we should avoid null in software development In software development, null is a term that is often used to represent a lack of value or an unknown state. It’s a concept that has been around for a long time and has been a source of confusion and bugs in software development. In this article, we will explore why we should avoid null in software development and what we can do instead.

Unit testing tips by examples in PHP In these times, the benefits of writing unit tests are huge. I think that most of the recently started projects contain any unit tests. In enterprise applications with a lot of business logic, unit tests are the most important tests, because they are fast and can us instantly assure that our implementation is correct. However, I often see a problem with good tests in projects, tho…

Do generators really reduce the memory usage? Recently I noticed some controversy regarding memory usage with generators. It looks like that many people genuinely take generators as a tool that somehow can get them "a big performance boost" when working with large datasets. Sort of a magician's hat, where one can put any amount of data without affecting the PHP process' memory.

6 Algorithms Every Developer Should Know Hello, I am Richard. I am a developer, and you should know that I’m not a big fan of data structures and algorithms. If you can relate to this, don’t worry; after working on many projects (small and large), I discovered the six important algorithms that every developer should know, and these six will almost always solve every problem in your development process.

Accessing private properties in PHP Private properties can only be accessed by the class that defines the property… right? Actually, PHP has a few ways to circumvent this: reflection, closures and array casting.

Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @phpme. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
Named by 1 registered channel — every channel on the register whose own posts have named this one, by its current username or any other username it currently holds, merged from two separately captured readings of the same fact so a namer caught by only one of them is not missed and a namer both caught is not counted twice. A username this channel has since dropped is not matched — that handle may belong to someone else now, and crediting today’s namer to yesterday’s owner would misattribute it.
Named by
Channels on the register whose posts name this channel's handle.
A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 2 November 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
