Stream is starting! Come on out and help build a reproducible, custom Linux setup for developers! twitch.tv/alexandersix_

Just a reminder: last stream of the year tonight at 7pm EST! We'll set up a Laravel dev environment in our custom Linux install & start testing our setup script! After that, I have a laundry list of tweaks and customizations, so come hang out! (stream link in replies)

Last stream of the year is going to be tomorrow, 12/30 @ 7:00p EST! We'll get a Laravel dev environment set up on our custom Linux install and finally test the automatic full-install setup script! Still a long way to go for the entire project, but this is a huge milestone!

Merry Christmas, everyone! Hope you all have a relaxing, restful holiday surrounded by those you love: family, friends, pets, and your @filamentphp.com applications. In all seriousness, I’m so very thankful for all of you and wish you all the best as we round out this year!

How about one more stream before the holiday break? After our custom Linux install exploration last week, it's time to start setting up our own custom install script so anyone can use it! Come hang out and help shape the outcome of our dev-focused install tonight at 7pm EST!

Our Linuxmas celebration is starting now! Get your hot cocoa and your favorite cozy sweater, and come hang out and celebrate Linux for a while! twitch.tv/alexandersix_

Streaming tonight at 7pm ET! Tonight we're starting our Merry Linuxmas celebration! Come hang out, listen to Christmas music, and play with some fun new Linux software! Wear your favorite holiday sweater and get that mug of hot cocoa ready–it's going to be a jolly night!

Back to streaming again tomorrow night, and since I'm between projects, I think it's about time I started working on a custom Linux setup. I'm leaning into tech I've never used before, so come hang out and let's learn together! Follow me on Twitch at twitch.tv/alexandersix_ for go live alerts!

I'm live on Twitch building a custom, from-scratch Neovim setup! Come hang out, help build, and maybe learn a thing or two along the way about the fun new features in the latest Neovim versions! twitch.tv/alexandersix_

Alright, yeah, it's happening – I'm back streaming again tonight at, let's say 7:30pm EST! We're going to do something a little different! Come hang out and let's set up a new Neovim configuration from scratch with all the new goodies that have been added! Follow @ twitch.tv/alexandersix_ !

The Q4 delivery date can't come quickly enough! I might have overdone it on the CPU, but hey, now I might be able to keep all my browser tabs open without issue 😅 We'll have to stream the unboxing and setup! Obviously, we'll put Omarchy on it 🔥

No stream tonight–Leia had a procedure done at the vet today and is going to need some time tonight to come off the anesthesia. And let's be honest, she's the most productive one on stream 😅 Probably going to stream tomorrow instead, so stay tuned for that!

It's a great team, if I do say so myself 🔥

Missed stream? Things got...interesting 😅

Come hang out, I'm live over on twitch.tv/alexandersix_ ! Going to be working some more on getting git worktrees integrated into Laravel, and we'll be doing it on my brand new Omarchy install!

Started a new short-form podcast about game design, inspired by @calebporzio.bsky.social's Notes On Work. Every week I'll talk about a hard game design problem, something interesting I'm working on, or a game that's inspiring me. notesonplay.transistor.fm

Going to be working on two things on stream tonight: - Better git worktree support in Laravel - Finishing my Omarchy install for Laravel (as-needed)! Come hang out at 8pm EDT if either of those things sound interesting to you! 😂 Follow at twitch.tv/alexandersix_ for notifications!
