Look what just came out! @mjwhansen.com got to hang out with @ianlandsman.com and @aaronfrancis.com on @mostlytechnical.com this week. mostlytechnical.com/episodes/swe...

Okay, so I'm pretty sure I've found the best way in the world to create dynamic Open Graph images! And I've turned it into a little product that I'd love to show you 🤩 Check out this quick video tour of Ogkit.dev to see how it works 👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoVr...

My personal rules for surviving Ikea: 1. Never buy the cheapest option. Even if on a tight budget, buy the *second* cheapest 2. Once you’ve left a floor, there is no going back 3. Never impulse buy something in the Self-Service warehouse 4. The cinnamon rolls smell a lot better than they taste

For @laravellive.dk I had this crazy idea to build and host a full-blown Jeopardy game with physical buzzers and all. Of course 100% built with Laravel.

Is there anything like Frontend Mentor but for Laravel? www.frontendmentor.io/challenges

We just removed code examples from our docs for a third-party Geocodio library that hasn't been updated in 10 years(!). We now only show code examples for our first-party libraries.

I'm on a 9 hr plane ride and I'm bored, so here's a thread about product management as different forms of government

I'm happy to report that Claude Code works exceedingly well on plane WiFi. I wasn't sure how much data it was pushing back and forth, but it's surprisingly smooth!

It’s been a minute since Laracon 2017 😀

It’s Laracon time! @mjwhansen.com and I are officially on the way to Denver. Looking forward to seeing you all soon. Don’t forget to swing by the @geocod.io booth

Preparing the last few bits for Laracon. This is going to be good! What are you wrapping up before Laracon?

I hate how much I love being complimented by Claude Code when it reviews my PRs "The changes are low-risk, technically sound, and enhance both the logical structure and user experience of the documentation."

Everybody has a box of cables (according to @mjwhansen.com) Today it saved the day. Lost internet this morning, and walked in to see the router looking decisively unwell. Quick internet search says bad power supply. Go to the box o’ cables and fetch a matching power supply. The internet is back!

Not sure which features to prioritize? Want to understand your customers better so you know exactly *what* to build? It’s WILD that Michele is running a $5 sale. What a steal!

Absolutely loving the new "plan mode" in Claude Code. Makes it much easier to build out an architecture/strategy before jumping into the implementation phase.

My new favorite Claude code slash command: /ship

The first single from my album is out! open.spotify.com/album/6WZqyL...

We’re excited to welcome back @petersuhm.com 🇩🇰. A Laravel developer since 2012, Peter has built multiple SaaS products and now works at Tailwind Labs, the creators of @tailwindcss.com. His latest focus is how AI can enhance and accelerate the way we build software. #laravel #laravellivedk

Our car felt like it was going much faster than the speedometer was showing. Turns out it had reset itself to mph instead of km/h overnight. There’s no units on the display, so it wasn’t obvious at all 😆

One of my dogs was totally vibe coded His barking feature was clearly never reviewed or tested before going to prod. He’ll be completely asleep and then without any provocation or sound, just randomly start full-throated barking

Please welcome Jakob Steinn 🇮🇸 as our next speaker - a Laravel expert and software architect. He leads the technical efforts at Good Tape, creating scalable transcription pipelines and bringing more than ten years of development experience to his work. #laravellive #laravel

Well this was way past due. $ docker system prune -af ... Total reclaimed space: 1.524TB

He’s back 🎉 We’re delighted to welcome back @isakberglind.bsky.social 🇸🇪 from Campusbokhandeln to Laravel Live Denmark! After his outstanding talk in 2024, we can’t wait to hear him share more of his Laravel expertise on stage again. #laravellivedk #laravel

On this day, 13 years ago our little app: "What's Open Nearby?" hit a major milestone of 1 million total HTTP requests. Today, Geocodio serves 1 million HTTP requests every 2 minutes or so. This still continues to blow my mind 🤯

We’re excited to announce @johannesguent.bsky.social 🇩🇪 as a speaker at Laravel Live Denmark! Known for his passion for open-source and smooth developer experiences, Johannes will bring fresh insights to the stage.

Excited for the next Copenhagen Laravel Meetup tonight www.meetup.com/laravel-cph/...

We look so young 🤯

Heads up Europe founder friends: North America did daylight savings last weekend, so for the next two weeks, there’s temporarily a one hour less time difference! 🎉 Good time to have alllllll the sales calls and customer interviews with your US/Canada customers

It's finally starting to feel like spring. Just got the first seed tray started and the first two raised beds seeded! Naturally, all tracked and managed by my little side project. I love when technology can get combined with getting your hands dirty.

Next speaker reveal! 🎉 @danharrin.com, the creator of @filamentphp.com, will join us to showcase Filament 4, the latest evolution of his popular admin panel toolkit. #laravel #laravellivedk

I'm on the phone with Apple Support (I don't think I've ever had to call them before). They of course have hold music like everybody else. But they actually give you a choice of music genre! "Press 3 for Jazz" Love it!

TIL: Upgrading from Tailwind 3 to 4 is as simple as `npx @tailwindcss/upgrade` -- I've been totally avoiding looking into upgrading, because I thought it would be tons of work. Turns out it was really easy!

dude we’re on the front page of Hacker News right now!?!

Collleen and Michele are back!!!

The absolute most difficult thing I had today was logging into a secondary user on a Windows 10 machine. Why oh why is it not just listed on the login screen. And why did I have to prefix the username with .\ in order for the login to work?

oh hey, @geocod.io is finally on Bluesky!

TJ did a fantastic write-up on how we combine the excellent productivity we get from Laravel and the raw performance and control we get from Go!

Next speaker reveal! 🎉 @sandro.gehri.dev 🇨🇭, full-stack developer, open-source contributor, and creator of OpenAI for PHP & Laravel, will take the stage at Laravel Live Denmark!

Our first speaker is a true Laravel rockstar! 🎉 MArcel Pociot @marcelpociot.bsky.social from Beyond Code 🇩🇪 returns to Laravel Live Denmark! The mastermind behind Laravel Herd and Tinkerwell is back to inspire once again.

See you soon Laracon!

@petersuhm.com Got spiffy new social share cards! THANKS! laracondb.org/speakers/pet...

Kinda interesting browsing the small changes implemented in the Laravel core to make the DX even better for Laravel Cloud

I analyzed 292 Laracon talks. What do you think the most frequently discussed topic was?

Who’s excited for Laracon EU? 🙌 Make sure to ask me for a Laravel Live Denmark sticker (or maybe even a slick Laravel pin?). Will also be bringing the very last few decks of the Cards Against Artisans game!!

Just replaced the charging inlet in our car and I did not get electrocuted. Where do I collect my reward? 😅

Attention speakers! The call for talks is now open. Submit yours on our homepage by February 15th, 2025. #callforpapers #speakers #laravellivedk #laravel

Telling Claude what you want to visualize in Grafana, and having it generate a full JSON config complete with InfluxDB queries is a killer combo!

Yes, Mike and I have been marketers for more than a decade. Yes, we've come up with crazy marketing plays such as Card Decks, Dev as marketing projects, and Lego Cars. But we still found use out of saasmarketinggym.com. Come join us in the gym. We're signed up for at least three more months.

We are proud to announce that Laravel Live Denmark will be back in Copenhagen, 21-22 August 2025. Read more at laravellive.dk #laravellivedk #laravel
