Hi, I’m Patrick 👋
Tech lead by day, indie maker by night in Germany.
Time to stop lurking and start building in public.
Expect side projects, AI/dev workflows, terminal tools, and the realities of going independent, german bureaucracy included.
Let’s connect. What are you building?

Last week, php2shell turned a routine PHP update into an urgent race across 50+ servers.
Our managed servers normally update nightly. This time, waiting wasn’t an option.
To make things worse, update servers were overloaded. Downloads failed, updates stalled, and every server needed monitoring.
So we put an AI agent to work through our server-management service via MCP.
Its job was simple:
→ Find servers running an old PHP version
→ Detect failed updates
→ Retry until the update succeeded
No manually babysitting 50+ servers. Just a persistent agent working through the failures.
AI is accelerating incidents. We should use it to accelerate our response, too.
@FocusedDaveK I have 32 GB, Qwen and similar models work in some versions, but not in a way that I would use it in any other scenario than for some automated background tasks.
@leo_granetto Yeah, you are right. But this app was really just meant to simulate and measure a full Hyrox workout.
Before I released it, I'd probably add a few more workout variations. And so far, I just haven't had time to do that.
Feel free to take the idea. 😀

In my Hyrox 🏃♂️ training, I'm currently simulating a full Hyrox. I wanted a simple, straightforward way to track absolutely everything here. So I quickly wrote my own app for it.
It works wonderfully. It's very niche, though. Should I release it?
