Hi there 👋

Long story short: I finally managed to get SSL certificate from “Let’s Encrypt” and automate the process of certificates renewal. And I would love to share my experience with you! What is “Let’s Encrypt”? “Let’s Encrypt” is the authority that provides free ssl certificates. This initiative is now supported by everyone, so it means that you really get trusted certificates. On December 3 they launched in public beta but unfortunately until yesterday I didn’t have time to fully use it. ...

Recently, I’ve come up with an interesting question that can potentially be used for interviewing candidates :) We have such a PHP class. class Collection implements Countable { protected $items = []; public function __construct(array $data) { $this->items = $data; } public function count() { return count($this->items); } } $collection = new Collection(['one', 'two', 'three']); Which is going to be faster: count($collection) or $collection->count()?

Well, hello! I finally managed to launch my website a month ago and now I launch blog! My blog is going to be absolutely technical one! And as I am PHP developer… Oh, you all know what my posts will be about :) Nice to see you all here! P.S. all posts are on Github. You can pull-request them to improve my grammar!
