Currently re-running benchmarks for Bunny to prepare for the first 0.6 alpha/beta. And hot damn, those numbers changed in 10 years. Also running them for php-amqplib to get a fair and proper update. But I'm so hyped for how much those numbers have improved!

It's 2025. If your library still doesn't have types in it (parameter, return, and property), I assume it's abandoned and I should not use it.
There are no exceptions to this statement. Not typing your PHP code in 2025 is irresponsible. No, docblocks are not good enough.

I like JetBrains products, but why in the hell does CLion, which you'd use to work on php-src, not support phpt files, which you would only need to use if you're working on php-src? It instead tells you to use PHPStorm, which... doesn't support the C code that is php-src.
This makes no sense to me at all.

I recently joined a startup. Nearly the entire code base was build by a single person over 3 years, who was learning programming as he went. Yep, he used #PHP.
Is it good code? Not by a long shot, though I've definitely seen worse. But it *works*, runs, and is making money. Now we can work to make it better, and make even more money.
*That* is why PHP is so popular, and still so relevant…

But I do get unreasonably angry at tools that so clearly care about only one specific use case and give a big FU to any other, like the one I'm trying to solve.

What's the preferred easy-to-use benchmarking tool these days for testing full HTTP responses? I know ab (apache bench), but it's also very old so I assume there's a new favorite.
This is for mostly informal tests, so ease of use > capability. Must run on Linux CLI.

in case i need to ask something outside the context of the reddit-posting or video:

Seriously, why has the PHPStorm/IntelliJ Markdown plugin been broken for so many years? I don't want a preview, the settings all day to just show me the editor, so it shows me only the preview for README.md, and split-screen for anything else.
