The whole Fable thing is a good reminder on why having control of your destine on the model and infrastructure is important.

Imagine having a lot of your business running on something that can be shutdown in 3h on a random Friday.

A couple weeks ago, I shared my excitement here about solving a particularly gnarly architectural problem while working on the official PHP MCP SDK. I promised a deep dive into how I did it and how PHP Fibers made the impossible possible.

As promised, here it is 🚀 (Link is in the replies below! 👇)

Fair warning: This is the longest, and likely the most technical article I’ve ever published on my blog.

I didn’t just want to give you the theory. Instead I went all in discussing the exact problem faced, how Fibers solved the issue for MCP’s client communication flow, the full architectural patterns used for cooperative multitasking in the SDK, and a build-from-scratch example of a cooperative task manager.

So take it slow while reading. I promise you by the end, you’ll walk away with a deep, practical grasp of Fibers in real-world PHP. Cheers 🥂

What Exactly Does "docker run -it" Do? 🧐

When a container needs to run an interactive app such as a shell, language REPL, or text editor, the "docker run" command requires two extra flags: -i and -t.

I'm excited to announce that Laravel has raised a $57M Series A in partnership with Accel.

I believe that Laravel is the most productive way to build full-stack web applications, and Laravel Cloud will be the platform for shipping those applications that this community deserves.

The merchants of complexity will try to convince you that you can't do anything yourself these days. You can't do auth, you can't do scale, you can't run a database, you can't connect a computer to the internet. You're a helpless peon who should just buy their wares. No. Reject.

A majority of the worst ranked airports in the world are run by a single company

Interesting thing I discovered making https://t.co/igWjAuMrjv when indexing airports

They're called Da Vinci Airports, but are a French company

Their strategy seems to be a lot like Private Equity:
- buy up airports from struggling governments who need money
- cut costs to the minimum possible while decreasing service quality
- maximize profit by filling up airports over their capacity

Result is airports that:
- lose a lot of luggage
- are very dirty
- are hot cause no functioning AC (is a high cost)
- have overworked staff
- always full of packed crowds (like Lisbon Airport)
- now ranked the worst (Gatwick, Edinburgh, Lisbon)

RyanAir called out Da Vinci recently for being a monopoly, as they own all the big airports in Portugal, and they pushed their fees up so RyanAir decided to remove flights to Madeira

You won't know you're in a Da Vinci airport until you connect to the WiFi which has their name on it

What to do about it?

I think governments should do regular QA on their airports. Even if they're privately owned, airports are the first thing visitors to a country see when they arrive and they judge a country by it

The best airport in the world is Singapore Changi Airport and its owned and ran by the Government of Singapore. Most of the best airports are the same

Maybe airports shouldn't be privately owned by private equity-type firms but should be owned by governments as symbols of their country?
