Extremely low effort tdov.
Oh I missed #TDOV. Well whatever. It's in the bio of my personal account so you all know anyway.
Oh hey this account still exists
Other cool stuff I have learned recently: Value stream mapping. Got a business process that takes a long time because you're waiting on other people? This exercise allows you to map that out and identify where delays are occuring, so you can tackle them.
Today I am excited about: PSR-12!
PSR-2, which PSR-12 replaces was the original extended coding style document, however this came out when PHP 5.3 was the latest version of PHP and as such doesn't account for lots of awesome new features that have been added to PHP since then. PSR-12 is a new standard that, while being similar to PSR-2, defines a style to use those new features in.

I don't know who you are but I ❤️ you!
Shoutout to the one person that uses that package I released 5 years ago who I keep maintaining it for.
Healthchecks should test the service can at least reach required services if depends on. If one of these breaking causes too many healthchecks to fail to handle, then your architecture is too coupled.
It's not a hackathon if you have to work on something for your company, it's just unpaid work.

Did a coding test yesterday. I'm hoping it went okay.

Docker security comedy:
* We must use X base image for security
* X Base image is just from: public image anyway
* It's a fat image so has loads of attack vectors
* Will never be updated because too much custom stuff is built off it and that might break
I really wish PHP had a finally like go and other languages. It'd be nice to have a fire and forget "tidyup after me" construct.
