darkotic··on Show HN: phpClaw – AI agent runtime for PHP with tools, memory and guards
I've since switched to Go for most of my development, but I have a decades old fondness for PHP and seeing what people can get it to do. PHP is dead! Long live PHP!
darkotic··on Pi 1.0
Congrats on the release. I'm looking forward to using Durable with some of my custom extensions and tools. The MCP specs have changed for the better, so makes sense to me with the inclusion.
darkotic··on Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (April 2026)
Tools for llms for developers. Unix philosophy, pipes. Repository maps for a quick overview. Hybrid search for finding knowledge, tools or skills. Linter for tools. External tools provider, not MCP. Having a blast.

darkotic··on PHP Is the Best Choice for Long‑Term Business
I enjoy PHP. I've been using it for about 20 years. I enjoy writing in the language, most likely because I've gotten good with it. It is my preferred tool for creating things and solving problems. <3
darkotic··on Cursor Has Raised $60M
Been using aider with Code and it's so amazing. Also swapping between Zed because it's so fast.
darkotic··on Ask HN: Which alternative to Python for personnal use would you recommend?
You didn't say that isn't PHP, so can we explore that further? I write a lot of my own little php shell scripts to do things. I use laravel zero for a framework of related tools. I wrote a cli RAG app for LLMs using it. You might look into TUIs people are coming out with like from Charm.sh, written in Go.
darkotic··on Writing HTML by hand is easier than debugging your static site generator
I want something that just publishes my markdown files in my Obsidian vault as a static site.
darkotic··on Netlify just sent me a $104k bill for a simple static site
It feels even worse than that if you consider with this being widely known, competitors could make a point to attack Netlify customers knowing it may bankrupt them.

I want to use meilisearch but it takes up more disk space than I'd like unless that has already improved.

darkotic··on How to make a complete map of every thought you think (2003)
I read the Introduction and would love to try a compromise. I'd start writing things down more and revising them for clarity. I wouldn't go all-in.

darkotic··on Curl.io – Share files from your terminal or ssh
Without knowing the hash, it might be nice to just:

    curl -F "@file=/path/myfile.tgz" http://curl.io/send
and get the hash returned with a url.
darkotic··on Show HN: thedaywefightback.js
The official site has chosen a similar plugin that has some additional options you can configure. They've also added good instructions on how to install it. https://github.com/modemlooper/thedaywefightback.wp
darkotic··on Show HN: thedaywefightback.js
The zip contains a subdirectory. Only the subdirectory should be uploaded to your site plugin folder. If you want to upload a .zip file in the browser, only the subdirectory should be zipped first.

The article says it has been fixed in 3.6.1.
darkotic··on You use PHP because you don't know better.
I didn't see anything new in this rant. Was this just a summary of the other "PHP is bad" posts that have crept up in the past 12 months or so?
darkotic··on Show HN: Tavern, Next Generation Bulletin Boards/Forums (Product Idea)
