Just updated my hourly rate for freelance work. I've always been bad at doing this, because I don't want to lose work (especially as incoming enquiries are down), but I have been told that I undercharge and I am probably mid-market whereas my skill-set should put me in the top quarter. There are lots of PHP developers out there but I don't think many have my commercial skills and attention to detail (e.g. documentation and business continuity).

RE: https://phpc.social/@jay/115811048552980980
My proposal to Rector was rightfully rejected, so I’m attempting to incorporate it into PHP CS Fixer now 🤞🏻. Here’s the link to my pull request, in case you want to check it out!

From time to time I'm getting a feedback that Flow #PHP DSL is "ugly".
I disagree! it's just different than what most devs are used to.
Flow DSL is based on underscore, lower case functions that under the hood are creating objects. Yes, Flow is object oriented!

For many simple #Laravel sites, properly configuring cache, headers, and middleware can help mitigate impact of significant traffic spikes from platforms like Hacker News or Product Hunt.
However, if you find that these measures are insufficient, my assistance is available to optimize and enhance your application.

PSA: Check your database indexes today.
I just finished an audit where a single missing index was causing 5s+ load times under load.
Tools like #Laravel Debugbar or Telescope are great for local dev, but you need proper monitoring (OpenTelemetry, etc.) in production to catch real-world bottlenecks.
