I said months ago that I wanted to start pairing regularly with new people, but client work got in the way. Summer is shaping up to be a relatively peaceful time for me, so now is a great time to get this started. Use this link to grab an hour! calendar.app.google/RthNTaLYCA9Q...

Hey everyone, @gros.co and I had planned on doing the draw for our extra @laracon.us community bundle ticket today, but I had to go to the hospital to get my gallbladder removed instead. You've got one more day to go to laravel.recipes and register

Hey everyone, @gros.co and I have an extra ticket for LaraconUS next month. Comes with hangouts and merch. If you want to be in next week's draw to win it (along with $500 towards your travel) goto laravel.recipes and register. The entry form is on your home page

Today's "Slack Chat Quote of the Day" goes out to @coulb.com: "You know a Boolean is just an enum with two cases"

Today I acquired 4.5 million shares in Artisan Build, Inc. AMA

The LaraconEU stream starts at midnight Vancouver time... Guess I'm not sleeping tonight 🤷

You can tell scientists apart from Roman historians by how they pronounce "Molecules".

Today is my 38th birthday, and all I want is a job at Laravel 🫣 Oh right, and health and joy and all that stuff too

He's doing it. He's fkn doing it

I can't wait. This will super charge the abilities of Laravel devs

Running `./vendor/bin/pint --diff=main` in CI could save you a **ton** of time... 👀 github.com/laravel/pint...

Hotdog wiener counts as a vegetable when you're solo-parenting, right?

Day 4/4 of Christmas family feasts is in the bag. If you need me I'll be asleep for the next week. ✌️

Any of the other Dads out there excited to find out what they bought for their kids tomorrow?

First consecutive day of hosting large family events done, only four more to go

It's the Sunday before Christmas, and I too am contributing to the abnormally high density of dads at the shopping centre

Lol Simon is way too humble. We were chatting recently about some things we're working on together, and I casually dropped that "I love working with clever people" and he literally snort-laughed

Historically, I've never really been a huge Christmas guy because of over-commercialization, etc. But kids' joy has really shifted the lens through which I see it. We asked Allison about Santa, and she excitedly exclaimed "I LOVE Santa, and Santa LOVES me!"

Is there anyone here who lives within 4 hours of Basel by train who wants to have lunch with me and @projektgopher.com tomorrow? We are planning to get on a train and go… somewhere. Help us decide where. Lunch is on me.

It's funny how much of parenting boils down to gaslighting your kids. Wife and kids were meant to fly to Palm Springs 2hrs before I fly to Zurich so that I could help wrangle them through the airport. ...

It is with a heavy sense of sorrow in my heart that I have to announce the decommissioning of one of my most beloved t-shirts. I got it ~15 years ago at a Judas Priest concert on their Nostradamus tour. My wife has informed me that there is a small hole in the armpit.

Generally, when we're working with Broadcasting in Laravel, like with Pusher or Reverb, the Laravel app is simply sending events to that service over http(s) which is then broadcast out to all connected clients over web sockets. 1/x

👀 Resonance has successfully authorized a PHP client to broadcast to Pusher using the wss protocol instead of https!

Less than a week now until I head to Zurich (with 2-3 days in London in the middle) to get some serious work done with @gros.co so we can get some stuff SHIPPED. 🚀

Being a freelancer is so weird. I went to pick up our food for family pizza and movie night. The lady says "have a good long weekend" as she's handing me our pizza. I literally have no idea what holiday she's talking about.

Fun little 45 minute stream. I defs need to practice chatting while playing. Thx @techenby.com for being my only viewer today!

No idea if this is going to work, but let's reflect on this week's #laravel work while playing some classic Tetris! www.twitch.tv/projektgopher

Bonding time. Teaching the new generation how Daddy used to play

You can learn a lot about a person by which movie they know Tim Curry from

Sometimes if my brain needs a moment to cool down or process a problem, I'll fire up a game of classic Tetris on my RaspPi. If I were to start a daily/weekly stream where I play some Tetris and we can all chat and reflect on code, would that be something any of you are interested in?

My top 3 favourite features from PHP in order: 1 - the `match` expression 2 - trailing commas in function signatures 3 - constructor property promotion

In life there are certain moments that can confidently delineate your existence into a 'pre-event' and 'post-event'. This is surely one of those moments for the 'little man'. Today he was introduced to worms 'n' dirt.

If a parent tells you that 'boy energy' doesn't exist, they're dirty liars. This kid has no fear. Such a completely different personality than his big sister

The secret project that @gros.co, @simonhamp.me, and I, are working on is starting to take shape 👀 Shouldn't be long now

Follow me to learn how I increased my follower count by a whopping 1,200% in a single hour!
