I built the fastest PHP webserver in the world

    I'm confused why the copy you generated repeatedly boasts "no nginx, no Redis" as if those things don't exist independently of application servers for a reason, and as if building something that doesn't need these things (when deployed as a single instance) is particularly notable.

    "no Docker" - so what? Docker is a tool. Running containers on Linux has extremely low overhead. No idea what this is about.

    You didn't spend the effort to decorate the slop with your rationale for these choices, so I see no evidence that you built any of this.

      In the context of PHP it is notable to be able to run a production grade web server without nginx/apache/docker in front of it.

      PHP doesn't have a production grade built-in server like .NET's Kestrel.
