I'm about three-quarters of the way migrating my application infrastructure from ArgoCD to Flux, and man, is it difficult. I had to use both Claude and ChatGPT pretty extensively to parse the absolute mountain of error logs I was getting and correct the pile of bugs that I had inadvertently introduced while setting it up the first time around.

I'm too far into this process to back out, but just in case I finish this process and then realize that I actually didn't want to migrate, which platform is actually used more commonly in the industry, so I should actually spend more energy learning it?

Note, even though I do mention that I used two AI models quite a bit, I only used them for parsing logs and deciding what to do. All of the code is actually handwritten.

This thread was created by the Post-Match Team.

A friend of mine owns a restaurant, and one of their employees was responsible for managing the website and domain.

Unfortunately, the employee forgot to renew the domain, and it expired. Someone else has since registered it. i guess it was on autobuy as it was gone the same day. On Godaddy.

The new owner kept a copy of the restaurant's original website, including its branding and content, but added gambling links throughout the site.

The website still looks like it belongs to the restaurant, which could mislead customers and potentially damage the business's reputation.

Is there a way to recover the domain or force the new owner to remove the restaurant's content?

Has anyone dealt with something similar? Any advice would be appreciated

I have a WordPress website used to booking appointments and this was created by a company. I hired a while back.
Now I want to redesign the website, but I’m a complete beginner.
I want to test my ideas without affecting the live website. Should I use staging or duplicate
Elementor draft? ChatGPT says duplicating has more risks, but it seems like I have to pay for staging.

I'm researching how freelancers and small agencies who sell websites to local businesses prospect today.

If you've sent a prospect an AI-generated redesign preview (instead of only an audit or a plain message):

1) What tool or workflow did you use?

2) Did it raise your reply rate compared with a normal message? Roughly how many did you send and how many replied?

3) What annoyed you (quality, cost, time per prospect)?

4) Which channel do you use to reach local businesses (email, WhatsApp, Instagram DMs, calls)?

Disclosure: I'm exploring a possible tool in this area, so I'm biased. I'm not selling or linking anything here.

So I do believe that web dev has changed dramatically in the last year or so and that one probably needs to expand their skills and a front end web developer is probably less of a safe long term career than I believed in the past due to AI. This is a shame as I loved the craft and challenges of front end development.

when I see online everyday how AI is going to remove the need for devs I do tend to end up believing this is the case. But then in my day to day job I see that this just isnt the case.

there have been a few recent examples. So people believe you can one shot things. Like the recent adobe reverse engineering. It looks great at first sight as the UI looks like adobe. All of a sudden you believe adobe will be out of business but when you try it out it full of bugs and doesn’t Really work, essentially smoke and mirrors. Also you look at the code and realise it’s completely unmaintainble due to bad decisions made up front by people who aren’t really experts in web development.

there is something I was thinking about also, when non technical people say “oh but the app already works, what do you actually do at work all day”. It kind of sounds true but in reality it is so far rrom the case - there are always bugs to fix, features to add, packages to update. sure, ai can help with this, but in a big app for example a package update can break something, Claude wont neccessarily catch this, but it will be us Mere mortals who will get a call and need to fix this.

also I have seen vibe coded projects where non experts in managerial roles who are creating software, which they are so proud of despite having no idea how it actually works. Then things start going wrong and things are breaking, it’s not the manager who is fixing it but the devs have to. and since the code has no owner and it’s a complete mess everyone is just one shotting the fixes and adding to the pile of 💩

this post is a little scattered but I’m hoping it makes some sense and people can see what I’m trying to get at

When RoadRunner 3 came out, some people took it as the beginning of the end. Right here on r/PHP:

So EOL for RR soon?

Rumors travel fast, and by now some folks are pretty sure RoadRunner is dead.

Well. Tomorrow is Halloween, and that's a chance to resurrect RoadRunner. 🎃

So I made an interactive pixel-art quest for it. It's a multiplayer game: you make a little pixel character, and everyone's characters walk around the same shared scene, so you see what the others do in real time.

The bar is already open: https://halloween.roadrunner.dev

It starts in a viking bar. The owl behind the counter swears RoadRunner can be brought back: something about pumpkins, a ritual, and a magical place nearby. Grab a mug, find someone to clink with (no clink, no drink: house rules), shoot some flies and listen to the owl's gossip.

🪰 Rumor has it that everyone who swats 100 flies before the ritual starts will get a superpower.

🕓 Saturday, Oct 31, 16:00 UTC: the ritual

Your local time

That's when the doors to the pumpkin patch open and we go through the whole story together, live, with the owl leading the way. What happens after that… you'll have to be there. No spoilers.

Join the crowd, clink mugs with strangers and help with the ritual 🍺

Missed it? Play it again. And again.

After the live event I'll step down as the game master and switch the game to autopilot for a week. No moderator needed: hit the goal of a scene and the story moves on by itself. Bring your friends and play the whole thing from the bar to the very end, then start over, as many times as you like.

You don't need to play. Watching is fine, and it works on your phone. More people means a bigger ritual and more beer.

How it works

The backend is PHP. The stack:

• PHP with the Spiral framework
• RoadRunner: HTTP, KV, locks, jobs, metrics (no nginx)
• Centrifugo for WebSockets
• Valkey and in-memory KV storage
• Prometheus and Grafana
• PixiJS on the frontend

All of it runs on one VDS: 2 × 3.3 GHz CPU, 2 GB RAM, 15 GB NVMe. By my estimate that's enough for about 200 active players. Let's find out tomorrow 😈

How it all fits together, with diagrams and code: https://halloween.roadrunner.dev/how-it-works

Live metrics in Grafana: https://halloween.roadrunner.dev:3000/d/hellowin/hellowin

Yes, the irony of running "RoadRunner is dead" on RoadRunner is intentional.

See you at the bar. 🍺🎃

GoDaddy's customer support is the worst. I have worked in customer support for various software firms for almost thirty years and I know what customer support should be. GoDaddy's attitude towards their customers can be summed as 'get lost.'
I have been unable for several days to log in to GoDaddy. I waited, thinking it would clear up but it didn't, so I finally contacted customer support. Customer support turned out to be an AI bot that said the problem was my browser (Chrome) and suggested several workarounds that didn't work. When I finally got in touch with a human he put me on hold for 30 minutes and then hung up. I called back and was put on hold for so long when someone finally answered, I'd forgotten what I was calling about so I just said I wanted to close my account. He gave me a different number to call and when I called that there was no answer. I'm disgusted.
GoDaddy may be alright if you're highly technical and don't need assistance, but it's a very hard system to use and there are many bugs which they refuse to fix. It's also very expensive compared to alternatives. The smartest thing to do is to stay as far away from GoDaddy as possible.
