Add logging to my kitchen-sink WordPress plugin with handlers for error_log() and Query Monitor. Nice to have info/debug level data while developing and warnings+ on PROD. How are you handling this in your plugins?

After sunsetting a VPS that was used for backup of other VPSes, I decided to have restic send everything to a restic-rest instance (as docker container) on my homelab NAS over wireguard. Amazing how restic can backup to so many destinations (s3, sftp, http) over so many

"Go serverless" they said. "No infrastructure to manage" they said. Now you have: - 94 Lambda functions - Cold start issues you can't fix - Timeouts you can't control - Debugging that's a nightmare - CloudWatch logs that cost $800/month - Vendor lock-in so deep you can't leave

Bun getting acquired by Anthropic is bigger than it looks. Bun had huge adoption but zero revenue and limited runway. Meanwhile, Claude Code depends on Bun for its single-file executable and future sandboxed code execution (and the latter part is probably one of the biggest

Turns out HTTP Host header can have a trailing dot (totally valid too) and nginx will happily forward it to php-fpm making $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] have a trailing dot which then fails all WP multisite domain lookups... First time seeing this on a fresh nginx + php 8.4 setup.
