I am NEVER renting a horse, @ianlandsman.com 🤣

Very excited to welcome back our favourite Woopi resident and @laracasts instructor, @simonswiss.com to #LaraconAU this year. Can't wait to dig in to React, The Laravel Way together!

This was a fun interview 🙌 If you speak French, you might learn a few things about my origin story in the world of webdev 🤗 If you don't, you can use a translator 😅

📣 I got news 👀 In February 2025, I am joining laracasts.com as a full-time instructor 🎉 I'll be teaching you Tailwind, React, frontend stuff and probably a lot more. Going back to my true calling — creating high quality developer screencasts 5 days a week ❤️

THIS is worth dealing with the giant spiders, snakes, sharks and all the crazy stuff we have here in Australia. Hand feeding these colorful visitors brings so much family joy every single morning 🤗

So I wasn't just trippin' that all our bills seem to only creep up 😅

No matter what tech stack or community you're into, this is a must watch and must share talk. I was sitting in the front row, and I'll never forget this talk ❤️

My @laracon.au talk video is out 🔥 And look at this gorgeous OG Image 😎 laracon.au/talks/simon-...

Just listened to @calebporzio.bsky.social's son say goodbye to the microphone, and it was extremely cute!

You'll be hard pressed to find a team with more combined knowledge around React & Design Systems. The level of design & engineering is almost intimidating — but at the same time so welcoming and supportive. I can seriously not say enough good things about Thinkmill and its people 🤗

Upgraded to Tailwind CSS v4.0 beta over lunch, while eating a sandwich. Finished the migration before I finished my sandwich 🤣 `npx @tailwindcss/upgrade@next`

Walked into a basketball game and instantly ended up on the club's live stream 🤣

They're back!

In case you missed it yesterday, we had @dyrynda.au and Greg Skerman on the @navbar.bsky.social podcast, to recap the amazing @laracon.au 2024 that happened last week 🤗 www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIxn...

Went for a before school/work surf with my son this morning — in boardshorts 🙌 This is life ❤️

The view at the top of that hill... If you know, you know.

Made new friends tonight! They were shy for 20 seconds — but the seeds were so yum that they got cool with the dogs, cat and humans real quick!

Change of plans — we're going live at 12:30PM AET today.

Lunchbreak walk with my feet in the Pacific Ocean is a cheat code 😊

HTML ❤️ CSS

My daughter made me a custom bracelet 😍

Ok so Southbank Brisbane is absolutely stunning. Late afternoon weather is divine too!

Hotel pool passes the vibe check ✔️
