Episode 34: Is Sara Pissed?

This time out our Very Special Guest is Sara Goleman, long-time
PHP core contributor, author of the only good book on writing
extensions for PHP and the driving force behind that open source
projects of HipHop for PHP, a virtual machine, runtime and
Just-In-Time compiler for PHP that powers much of Facebook’s
infrastructure.

In our usual epic-length conversation we talked about:


The HipHop Virtual Machine

The soul-crushing experience of the “PHP internals” mailing
list

Ed’s Open Sourcing Mental Illness Summer Tour

The TrueNorthPHP Call for Papers opened up and the code is
open source

Discussions about how the three of us find the energy to give
a shit about everything

Alternate books from the Bible

Comforting sounds to work too

Finally, how can we tell if Sara is pissed?



Also, as a totally random thing from the show notes, you might
want to take a look at Blue Hackers
