Agentic programming with LLMs finally answers the question "What if context switching was my entire job?"

TIL: You can namespace constants in PHP. 🤯 #php #laravel

I'm still looking for a couple of great #Laravel devs in Mexico! I'd appreciate any referrals!

No cheating! Draw an ampersand from memory with pen and paper. Post the result.

Today I learned about NPM Provenance, and how it helps prevent some supply chain attacks but it turns out its widely un-used and even some orgs don't use it yet (looking at you @laravel.com) If you run any NPM repo at all, you should look at implementing it! docs.npmjs.com/generating-p...

*Before the invention of sliced bread.* “This is the best thing until sliced bread.”

I'm concerned. I deleted my Twitter account ages ago. I have been logged out for months. Today I visited a link which took me to Twitter and I was surprised to see I was logged back in with a valid session and fake follows. "tWiTtEr HaS fAkE uSeRs AnD iT iNfLaTeD iTs VaLuE" What a fucking joke.

It's #Elixir time! 🍷 — Join me as I chronicle this journey from the perspective of a long-time PHP dev (link in replies) 👇

The existence of em dashes and en dashes implies the existence of el dashes, oh dashes and pee dashes.

Just received my first personal message which was clearly written by an LLM (that I know of). Not sure how I feel about this.

I think if I were building a company in tech right now I'd be going out of my way to avoid using any kind of walled garden as a company dependency. Slack, Github, AWS, SalesForce, anything that is difficult to swap out for a competitor or something self-hosted.

I was hoping this was an invalid email address (according to RFC5321) but it’s not, sad face. I haven’t linked this anywhere else but in making e-mail.wtf I created a little validator UI for myself: e-mail.wtf/validator.html

⏰ Just a few days left! Guess which #LaraconAU speaker belongs to which talk and you could win a premium hoodie 🐘💚 Deadline: Sunday, Sept 14 at 11.59pm 👉 forms.gle/PPJnqbmsa48...

Today I learned that the word “stopgap” has been around since at least the 1500s and is not, as I assumed, the name of a caulking product available at hardware stores.

It's a thought recession.

I checked the tech conference agenda for you so you don't have to. AI. It's all AI.

I love the bookmarks feature, but pre-bookmarking all @jcsalterego.bsky.social’s posts was a bit on the nose. Did the @bsky.app team learn nothing from Apple and the U2 album.

You don't *have* to have Alan Watts speaking in the background of your ambient electronic music track, just saying.

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge? It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

Kids primary school plays music before the bell as a sort of “soft bell” to ease them into the transition. (Probably common, I don’t know). This week they played a few tracks from K-pop Demon Hunters. On Friday it was Golden and the kids absolutely lost it. I’ve never seen anything like it. Wild.

Anyone know who I have to talk to about a payout for being a paid agitator for Big Radical Left? Honestly I could use the cash.

Formaldehyde implies the existence of casualdehyde, smart-casualdehyde, and black-tiedehyde.

Not gonna lie, I'm always on a roll on Linkedin

People complain that the email spec is old and hasn't kept up with the times, but they forget that in the first implementation we had to print them out, mail them and then the receiver had to type the raw text manually into their computer once received.

I forgot to pack my sunglasses when I left the house. A glaring omission.

life is so hard man

People just don't appreciate my kind of humour. My kind of humour being jokes that aren't funny, or in fact aren't jokes in any appreciable sense of the word.

It's hard to scale group chat apps since for any group chat with n members, another will form excluding each member, and for each of those subset groups, a further group chat will form so on and so forth recursively. i.e. 2^n - 1 group chats must exist for every group chat of size n.

"It's gonna be everything you ever dreamed of." I dunno though, I've had a lot of pretty weird dreams.

What is the most mid thing?

Does anybody else measure their stress level in terms of "Sudden and intrusive desire to learn to be an Air Traffic Controller recreationally"?

Sometimes I think about how all software can be represented as a chunk of binary data, and so can integers, and so really any piece of software is just an integer. A *quite big* integer, mind you, but an integer nonetheless. We're just moving numbers back and forth on the number line.

Prompt engineer seems like the first job AI will actually replace.

Hmm, is it just me or is the @laravel.com docs website currently empty?
