Asked AI to write a few tests for me. One of them failed because of lazy loading. Here's the suggested fix:

Not bad for a little side project 🙃

Built a shitty version of interviewcoder.co in about 1 and a half hours using AI. I never touched Electron before. Next up: figuring out code highlighting and key bindings for solution scrolling. this was pretty fun yall

I'm so excited to share a stealth project I've been working on: Laravel Up and Running, the audio book. People thought I was crazy to narrate a code-heavy programming book, but I think we've done an incredible job; take a listen to our sample to see! laravelupandrunning.com/audio-book

I'm working with the PHP Foundation to create a new page on the PHP site: "Why use PHP today?" I'd love your input on who needs this page, and what they need to hear: gist.github.com/mattstauffer...

Thinking about hiring a part-time video editor. Tasks: edit 4-12 min highlight videos from daily VODs, create 1+ shorts (30-60s), and design thumbnails. Consistent work every weekday. If interested, DM! 🐘

This sentiment from @jamesclear.bsky.social feels true: "Bad things happen loudly: the injury, the flat tire, the mistake that gets you criticized. Good things happen quietly: the completed workout, the healthy meal, the ten minutes of writing. Nobody talks about the little moments that add up."

If you're like me and not using Twitter much, you might have missed the fact that @calebporzio.bsky.social is going crazy on the Flux date picker component! x.com/calebporzio/... Part 1 - Video split into 2 parts due to bsky limitation.

Toast notifications on Laravel Cloud have a sliding darker background that subtly indicates when the notification will disappear. Inspired by that, I decided to try implementing something similar using @calebporzio.bsky.social Flux. It turned out pretty great!

Google allows me to install a watcher on a calendar, and notifies me about changes on it (pretty cool). But why can't they send me the id of the event that changed, instead of sending a post request to my app WITH NO INFO AT ALL and now I have figure out what changed on god knows which event?

hey @calebporzio.bsky.social 🤝

Created a GitHub workflow for automatically bumping composer dependencies on a side project. I usually do it manually once a week, but it's nice not having to think about it anymore 🙂

I’m biased but this new homepage looks beautiful!

I'm looking to buy headphones I can use with the Focusrite audio interface. Bonus points if the audio quality is good for playing guitar. Any recommendations?

New File Manager for Livewire is here! 📁 Easily manage files with Livewire integration. Perfect for Laravel devs looking to streamline their workflow. Check it out!

I've been working on a "monitor" that makes setting up Kafka consumers with laravelkafka.com even easier. No need to create commands for each consumer. Just define an array with options you'd like to customize: it spawns your consumers and makes sure they restart when there is an unexpected crash

Want to create a culture where people feel empowered to creatively solve problems instead of just taking orders? Your people need to feel safe. This year at @laracon.au I talked about culture, psychological safety, and a whole lot more.

Are there any go-to tools out there for migrating a MySQL database to Postgres, assuming the schema is exactly the same (or, as close as it can be between the two DBs)? I've seen a few possible contenders but figured it would be easy to ask around before deep diving. Thanks!!

Just shipped my first rich text editor. I'm super proud of it. Even if you don't use Flux, taking a peak at the blog post I just wrote up is worth your time: fluxui.dev/blog/2024-11...

Is it just me or landing pages are harder than actual coding? Like, I can write logic for days, but write a catchy headline? I'm out. Give me a complex problem over figuring out what to say on a marketing site any day.
