We were blessed on this lovely Star Wars day

Me watching my AI agents cook 🧑‍🍳

Spent some quality time with @leaht.codes in NYC ☺️ Delicious Malaysian food, Italian sweets, and some bookstore browsing ☺️🙌

Happy Sunday! Going to a football watch party today. Do you think they'll notice if I read a programming book the whole time?

Ok I'm really enjoying working through “How to Prove It” so far 📝 I didn't realize just how much I missed solving math problems and taking notes

Because I need more math in my life

I finally caved and ordered a calculus textbook for fun

Another year and I'm still trying to finish Designing Data Intensive Applications 😅

Happy Thursday! Started the day off with a stream and now I'm pumped for the rest of the day and week 🔥

I'll be going live on the @laravel.com channels today (1/8) at 12 PM ET with @zuzana-k.com from Larabelles! We’ll talk about the origin story of Larabelles and what it’s all about Hit “Notify me” to get an alert when we go live! www.youtube.com/live/gtt5Xx5...

So excited for this!! Join us on Friday at 1 PM ET to learn more about the new version of Laravel Wayfinder ✨

Update: I made it up to module 4 out of 15 for the Udemy course! There's hope yet that I'll finish it before the end of the year

Happy Sunday! I started working through a Udemy course that I bought back in 2024. Will 2026 finally be the year that I complete my first Udemy course? 😂

The spoils from my bookstore outing earlier! I'm in the mood for thriller books again, so let me know if you have any recs! Or just general book recs 🫶

First blog post of the year is live! It’s an in-depth retro of my 2025. A year that was filled with many wins, but also many life-altering moments. It’s hard sharing struggles on social media, but I really leaned into vulnerability in my post. I hope it resonates ♥️ tinyurl.com/38mzdh2y

We launched Laravel Wrapped today! I had so much fun working on this project. It was a huge effort by the whole team and I'm proud of what we accomplished ✨ Make sure to check out and share your Wrapped if you got one (check your email)!

We must ship. In 2025, Artisans around the world did exactly that. Laravel Wrapped is here with the story of what we shipped together in a historic year for the ecosystem. wrapped.laravel.com

14M requests. 50,000 sites. 1 engineer. @ghost.org chose Laravel Cloud to run their new site directory, Ghost Explore, with zero infra management. See how Ghost's founder @johnonolan.bsky.social runs a production app without a big ops team: laravel.com/blog/14m-req...

Updated Inertia site shipped this week! And it is 🧼

It’s a good day to use Laravel ✨

Women only want one thing for Christmas

We're 11 months into the year and I'm crushing most of my annual goals, but I still haven't finished a single technical book....

Happy Tuesday! I'm back in my natural habitat (with a monster in hand) and ready to ship 🚀

If you like to see us cover more "advanced" topics on the Laravel YouTube channel, what would they be?

From math teacher to DevRel ✨ I had so much fun being on the Laravel podcast and sharing my journey. Make sure to listen to the episode! Links: share.transistor.fm/e/50090fe4 and youtu.be/cHnIeDwb9IE?...

POV you have a meeting with me but it’s Halloween 🎃 👻

Learning about Inertia.JS and @laravel.com from @leaht.codes @commityourcode.bsky.social #CYC25

Excellent talk at #CYC25 by @leaht.codes on the advantages of using Inertia.js #100Devs🔥

@leaht.codes teaching us the simplicity of InertiaJS #CYC25

Locked in last night, now today I'm locking out 😮‍💨

We launched Laravel Learn! 🎉 On /learn, you can find a Laravel Bootcamp mini course and a PHP fundamentals mini course We worked super hard on this and I'm excited for everyone to try it out 🫶

On today’s episode of LeahTBakes, we have a loaf of chocolate chip bread 🍞✨

Inside of me are two dogs: One who wants to work on side projects all weekend, and one who doesn't want to touch my laptop at all

I DID IT! First loaf is a success 🎉

I’m truly honored to be featured as Laravel’s Artisan of the Day 🎉 I love creating content to help others grow with Laravel, from articles and newsletters to short tips and long form educational videos.

Headed to Denmark! Do you think people can tell that I use PHP? 🐘

Happy Saturday from me and all of my Ikea goodies ☀️

Happy Saturday! Started out the day by going to a state park and then finished by stopping at a bookstore 📚

Not as pretty as my cone from the other day, but the ice cream of the day is chocolate peanut butter + Oreos Buying an ice cream maker was a great decision 😂

How I'm working today 🍃 The left monitor is all business and the right monitor is in mountain mode

Went to Target for ONE thing and somehow left with an ice cream maker 😅

I built a ridiculous 1000 pixel display that takes an hour to draw an image and I'm now asking the internet to draw on it (what could go wrong?) Please submit some 40×25 pixel art at kilopx.com!

Happy Monday! I caught up on some sleep over the weekend, and now I'm ready to ship things 🚀

Laracon US kicked off the second half of my speaker tour🔥 August: speaking at Laravel Live Denmark in Copenhagen September: speaking at Commit Your Code in Plano, Texas November: speaking at Laracon Australia in Brisbane If you see me at any of these, make sure to say hi!

Getting through the post-Laracon crash by touching some grass 🍃 And repping @laracon.au while doing it

The amount of swag/merch that I brought home from Laracon is next level

And just like that, Laracon US 2025 is a wrap ✨ I had such an amazing time and am so thankful to be a part of this insanely talented team. And beyond honored to be one of this year’s speakers! Laravel forever ♥️ #laraconus

One of my favorite things to do is to introduce my friends to the wonderful @laravel.com community I'm so thankful for this community and how much it’s changed my life, and I’ll always try to share it with anyone I can ♥️

Traded the bugs in my code for mosquitoes and bears 🐻

When you're trying to ship code but you really just want to ship yourself to bed
