Episode #4: An early look at PHP 9.0's, Javascript debug ids, A2A and more

Key updates include stricter increment/decrement behavior, improved error handling with UnserializationFailedException, clearer function signatures, and simplified string interpolation.

They're pushing to make this a standard feature in JavaScript, with tools and plugins already available. Link AI agents are emerging as sophisticated cyber attackers, capable of executing complex operations at unprecedented scales. Projects like LLM Agent Honeypot are studying these threats, highlighting the need for enhanced cybersecurity measures.
