I made a small adjustment to my sign up form on my SaaS by removing a required field. This field was apparently tripping up bots. Cause the gates of hell opened on release burning through my daily allowed emails. No, I didn't have bot prevention on sign up. Yes, I do now. Woof. Fuck bots.

Hello darkness, my old friend. I've come to rant at you again.

Linkedin is a cesspool. You're not getting my email mate. Also if anyone is hiring for a senior php dev hit me up.

PHP is just fine. And I'm just a lil ol Sr Engineer who configured this, wouldn't say I have enough chops to be a full SRE or DevOPs...

So I think mine is actually at 8.3 MB (36/301). Read this:

My php library is at 111666 downloads on packagist. Almost got more downloads than my car has miles.
