👋 To people considering following me, here's what you can expect from me on bsky:

- Tempest, a PHP framework me and others are building
- PHP in general, new updates, opinions, …
- Timeline Taxi, a sci-fi novel I've recently published (and who knows if there's more to come)

Remember how yesterday I optimized my #php replay command to process 14k events per second instead of 30?

Yeah well… someone made a suggestion which bumped that number to 50k events per second.

Aggregate is no more.

Well, actually, it simply has been moved 😁 stitcher.io/feed

I hope the redirect on the RSS feed works as intended. Let me know if your RSS reader is showing weird stuff!

If you're following stitcher's RSS feed, I might have just flooded your feed with a lot of posts from aggregate.

If that's the case, I'm sorry 😞 It was an accident

2 hours from now, I will be taking a deep dive adventure into the OLDEST #php codebase I've ever written.

It's an absolute monstrosity 😬
