I can't say good enough things about alpine-ajax.js.org It has completely replaced my need for Livewire and Vue. It's much simpler than HTMX, at least from how I use Laravel with it. This library is everything I've ever wanted for developing mainly CRUD projects. Thanks @imacrayon.com.

Had a dream that I won an award for inventing a BBQ flavored cracker.

I work with an individual that owns both a SaaS and a second business that is one of the top paying customers of the SaaS. It's like the business equivalent of this meme:

Lots of cool, practical, uses for RegEx here: www.bennadel.com/blog/4532-th...

I’m excited to see how many test I broke on Monday!

My new favorite pasta is mafaldine. Where has this been my entire life?

Started the year with 222 emails in my inbox. I'm down to 80 now. Productivity is through the roof, I've never felt more alive.

Just pulled a Ruffles chip out of the bag that was so big my wife and I gasped 😆 It was the middle cross section of a whole potato. I ate it and then realized I should have taken a picture.

I’m ready to delete so many extensions.

I installed Monument Valley on my wife’s phone and told her it was a chill puzzle game she might like. She walked off tapping on her screen, and a few minutes later I heard “oh, fuck yeah” from the other room 😂

I came back, disconnected everything, did a deep clean, and improved the cable management. I let it all dry out overnight and, so far, it looks like everything survived.

I accidentally spilled a full glass of water all over my desk and the cables underneath. I just cut the power and walked out of the office. That’s enough work for today I guess.

CSS Wrapped 2024 is here! Just like last year, we – the Chrome DevRel team – have published CSS Wrapped, our end of year overview of all the new #CSS and Web UI features that landed in Chrome and The Web Platform in 2024. 👉 chrome.dev/css-wrapped-... is the place to be!

finally finished downloading my limewire wrapped after 20 years

I listened to a lot less music this year and I wasn't really sure what would be in my Wrapped. I like that Spotify stopped labeling the whole year with a single genre, every past year I just got "Bubblegrunge".

My mom created a wishlist on snowbodyknows.com yesterday. She got tripped up in a few places while on boarding, so I made some tweaks to smooth out the process. Moms are the final boss of UI/UX. If you haven't tried it out, snowbodyknows.com is mom-proof now.

I guess the LLMs know about Alpine AJAX now. We've made it! We're in The Matrix!

Even if I hear just a little bit of Wolf Like Me by TV on the Radio, it’s stuck in my head for at least a week.

It's December 1st, and you know what that means: For the next 24 days, we'll publish articles about HTML by 24 authors. You can read them on the website or subscribe to the RSS channel. Enjoy! htmhell.dev/adventcalend...

This weekend I upgraded snowbodyknows.com to Laravel 11 and rolled out a new onboarding flow. Now it’s even easier to get started exchanging wishlists with a family/friend group. The whole app is open source too: github.com/imacrayon/sn...

Last week I bought white pepper to use in a recipe. Tonight I realized I own three full containers of white pepper. I consider myself a fairly organized person, but now I’m questioning everything. If anybody needs to borrow some white pepper I’ve got you covered.

Bluesky now has over 20M people!! 🎉 We've been adding over a million users per day for the last few days. To celebrate, here are 20 fun facts about Bluesky:

I’m ready to delete so much JacaScript

I'm calling it. On Twitter, it's "scrolling" On Bluesky, it's "skydiving"

Pro tip: Use bigmood.blue to absorb all of the internet, Clockwork Orange style.

PHP 8.4 is two weeks away! Here is what’s coming: stitcher.io/blog/new-in-... Property hooks and the new array helpers are what I’m looking forward to the most.
