   Brilliant for outreach

   I often use the Hunter Google Chrome extension to assist me in discovering the contact details of new outreach targets. The only drawback is that I quite often exceed my free monthly allowance of lead requests.

• PHP's Biggest Problem

  The PHP website is indeed one of the worst parts of the whole ecosystem. Just look at the landingpage (https://php.net) and compare it with those of other languages. There's not a single piece of PHP code on the page. No "what is PHP", no "why should I use it", and no "that's why PHP is great". It's just a news page showing the latest releases, and a small section for downloading PHP. And speaking of the website:... - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Self Hostable Multi-Location Uptime Monitoring

  My initial idea was to leverage the main application’s queue worker by deploying a queue worker remotely and setting up a secure connection between them using something like Wireguard. Vigilant is written in PHP using the Laravel framework, for queuing it uses Laravel Horizon. This is a queuing system built on top of Redis. All monitoring tasks in Vigilant are executed on this queue, it allows for multiple queues... - Source: dev.to / 8 months ago

• The Lost Art of Reading Documentation

  I remember being 15 (18 years ago 🥲) and learning PHP. Stack Overflow wasn’t as big yet, and finding answers often meant digging through forums filled with half-baked solutions, each dependent on specific hosting configurations. There was no universal standard, some hosts supported certain php.ini settings while others didn’t. The only reliable resource? The official PHP documentation: php.net. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Using named arguments in php8 and up

  That's the first I've heard of it, and I like it! I can't tell you the number of trips to php.net to look at argument order for a function. Is it haystack/needle, or needle/haystack? Of course it could turn into the same thing w/ argument names (is it whole_name or full_name?), but I'm going to use it. Source: about 3 years ago

• How to display results from multiple SQL queries in the same table cell?

  Prepare to spend a fair bit of time reading and going back to phptherightway.com and php.net. I've also found this Tutorial from Envato Tuts+ to be quite good. Source: about 3 years ago

• Clearbit Is Now HubSpot-Only: A 1-to-1 API Migration Map for Teams Getting Locked Out

  A few things worth flagging: PDL beats Clearbit's historical rates for US and Western European companies, but drops to ~52% match rate for Japan and South Korea specifically. Apollo underperforms on raw company matching but returns significantly more contacts per domain in Prospector-style queries than Clearbit's Prospector ever did — the tradeoff is more stale titles in the result set. Hunter.io is fast and cheap... - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago

• Reverse Email Lookup Shootout: Hunter, Clearbit, Datagma, and PDL Tested on 500 Real B2B Addresses

  The real conclusion I'd push back on from every vendor comparison I've read: there is no single tool that solves reverse lookup at 80%+ accuracy with clean data. The waterfall is the answer. The question is whether you build it yourself with PDL + Hunter.io + Prospeo, or use a platform like Clay to abstract the plumbing — and whether you're willing to pay FullEnrich's premium for that abstraction. - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago

• How to Build an OSINT-Powered B2B Prospecting Workflow in 2026 (Without Getting Banned)

  Last year I ran the same LinkedIn Sales Navigator export through three enrichment APIs. Apollo matched 61% of the emails. Hunter.io matched 54%. An OSINT-first pipeline I'd built in n8n — pulling from public sources before hitting any paid API — matched 79% and cost roughly $0.003 per contact. The delta wasn't magic. It was sequence. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• Zero-Budget Strategies for Avoiding Spam Traps with Go

  Start with diligent email list hygiene. Remove invalid, dormant, or unengaged addresses regularly. Use free verification tools like NeverBounce or Hunter.io — many of which offer limited free API calls — or build your own heuristics. - Source: dev.to / 5 months ago

• Complete Tutorial on Mailto Links: What They Are & How to Use Them

  By putting a mailto link out there, you also share your contact details with any legitimate outreach specialists that wish to reach you. Finding all your company emails hidden in the html code is as easy as a single tap on a hunter.io widget (many similar tools are also available). - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago
