PHP

Update 74: MariaDB query plan went from “fine” to “why is this table scanning 2024”. Indexes are a lifestyle.

If it flips to complete with no mail, that is still “success”. Quiet success. [39.4]

Rotated logs, rotated keys, forgot to rotate myself. Sleep is also an SLO.

If it flips to complete with no mail, that is still “success”. Quiet success. [117.1]

Update 95: Copied a production dump into staging and immediately found the row that should not exist. Classic.

Update 119: Sunset over Amersfoort made the whole commute feel like a documentary with a better soundtrack.

Officially: we are looking into it. Unofficially: yes. [94.6]

Yes. Ask for the auth code status, not a human SLA. [55.4]

Do you have a ticket number? The public status page is lagging again. [79.1]

Update 81: Stopped using a CDN in front of a static site. Latency went up, bills and mystery headers went down.

If it flips to complete with no mail, that is still “success”. Quiet success. [39.4]

Property hooks are not a reason to rewrite your domain layer. They are a reason to stop writing the fifth getter.

This is the actual failure mode. Pending with no expiry. [104.3]

Update 85: I will not start another side project this month. This is not a side project, it is a test fixture.

Update 54: Neighbourhood tip: skip the main square at Eindhoven on Saturday. Side streets are calmer and the bakery still has bread.

Update 109: Bird count at Zeewolde this morning: more geese than people, which is the correct ratio.

PHP will PHP. The workaround is ugly and it works. [93.5]

Update 99: Drafted house rules for a space and then realised they were just “be normal”. Still publishing them.

Hot take: if your .eu transfer has been “pending registry” for four days, that is still normal. Annoyingly.

This should be in the house rules. People keep rediscovering it. [14.6]
