Today, I was cut in layoffs. I’m so gutted because I loved this company, & my team was the best; I’ll miss my team most.

Now, as I look ahead, I’m searching for a staff/principal role where I can help other developers level-up through mentoring, tooling/infra, architecture, & improving DX. I’d love to work with a company contributing to open source & even to the #PHP programming language itself.

Update (27 Feb 2024): Thanks, everyone! I’ve accepted an offer. Please see update in thread below.

I’d like to close the loop on this and thank everyone who shared the above post and offered support.

I’ve accepted an offer, and next week, I will be starting a new job.

In my 25+ year career, this was the first time I’ve ever been laid off. It was humbling and the most stressful three-and-a-half months of my life.

I know many others are going through similar experiences, and I was privileged to have resources and savings to keep me afloat during this time. (1/2)
