I built the fastest PHP webserver in the world

    People have been using pcntl_fork to speed up PHP code since the 90s. It seems good on paper, can produce an "impressive" demo and falls apart quickly on real world projects and use cases. This is nothing more than LLM slop/psychosis.

      What do you mean LLM slop? OP says they built it themselves.

        There are very clear signs this was mostly built by an LLM. Just an example: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Qbix&#x2F;webserver#%EF%B8%8F-architecture" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Qbix&#x2F;webserver#%EF%B8%8F-architecture misaligned lines, the commit history, etc.

          I use LLMs in my toolchain, same as I also use compilers. In fact, I use the LLMs to generate end-to-end test suites, and the test running is automated as well.
