So I tried forwarding one of the emails to the platform’s support… and right after hitting send, my mail provider notified me, that they are now blocking outgoing mail from that mailbox because it looked like I was sending spam 😂🤦🏼‍♂️
Luckily I could unlock it myself, but wow, that escalated quickly 😅

Today I got 2 phishing messages via the DM system of a freelancer platform.
Tricky to spot, because the DMs are delivered as legit emails from the platform itself.
The only giveaway: a shady short-URL. If they had registered a lookalike domain, I’d probably have clicked.

Where's the Shovelware? Why AI Coding Claims Don't Add Up

78% of developers claim AI makes them more productive. 14% say it's a 10x improvement. So where's the flood of new software? Turns out those productivity claims are bullshit.

PHP turns 30 today! 🐘🥳
My story with PHP started about 25 years ago, when I was 13, coding a guestbook 😅
When did you join the party?
