About
HowPCRules is a developer's notebook, kept in public since 2017.
What you will find here
Step-by-step tutorials from real projects: running several PHP versions on one server, scraping a website into a database, designing a database schema, Docker Compose, mobile development. Since 2026 the blog also reviews AI models and coding tools.
How posts are written and checked
The older tutorials were written by hand, from the problems they solve. Since 2026, posts are researched and drafted with the help of AI tools. Because AI tools can state things that are not true, every review is checked against its sources before it goes out, and each fact links to where it comes from.
In October 2026 every 2026 post was checked again, claim by claim, against official announcements, model cards and documentation. Wrong or outdated facts were corrected, figures no source could confirm were removed, and each post says at the end what changed.
Older posts
Tutorials from 2017 and 2021 stay online as they were written, because the ideas still hold. Each one carries a note that commands, versions and prices may have changed since.
Corrections and contact
If you find a mistake, email info@howpcrules.com with the post and what is wrong. A correction is never made silently: the post gets a dated note saying what changed. New posts also arrive by RSS.
