π Secret Keys Become Application Data on September 20, 2026
π Secret Keys Become Application Data Most Symfony applications I write still treat the model key as infrastructure: ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=... That line is simple because ownership is simple. The credential belongs to the deployment. Operators put it in .env....

β‘ PHP Speed Tooling: Partial Function Application, Tokens and Flow on September 13, 2026
PHP 8.6 is not a stable production release as I write this. The experiments ran on 8.6.0beta2, isolated from the host PHP 8.5.4 CLI, which cannot even parse foo(?). Treat every claim as pre-release behavior that I actually ran, not as a promise about Novem...

π€ Nolife Tokens - shrinking LLM context without destroying recoverability on August 16, 2026
AI coding agents have inverted a familiar performance problem. For years we fought bytes on the wire, HTTP round-trips, latency budgets, and process memory. Those constraints still matter. What changed is that a large share of the cost and failure mode of...

πΎ I Ported Quake III Arena to PHP β From PK3 Files to a Playable Map on August 14, 2026
Quake III Arena is not a toy codebase. It is a full arena shooter with a ZIP-based filesystem, a binary map format, a shader language that is not a GLSL program, collision that is not the same mesh you draw, and movement code that still feels distinctive tw...

πΎ I asked an AI agent to port Diablo to PHP. on August 12, 2026
It actually opens a window. You can walk the streets of town. Click a door and it opens. Swing at a skeleton in the cathedral. Load the original game data from a file you already own. But that is not the interesting part. The interesting part is that the wh...
