some friends & I are live playing PEAK & REPO tonight www.twitch.tv/spacelampsix - come say hi!

After over 3.5 years at my current agency, I finally get to Laravel New today. 🤯

Ah yes, my windows gaming PC decided it didn't want to boot into windows today. (boot loader can't be found in the BIOS) When it rains it pours I guess. (yeah its my fault for using windows to begin with but)

this is a reminder to check your vehicle registration expiration date! Mine was totally not expired by over a month :^)

I moved all of my apps from AWS app servers to a cool Laravel VPS server on forge. Just saved 36$ a month or something like that. 🔥

i was stuck on a direct flight (PHL -> SAN) in economy across the aisle from an unsupervised 3 or 4 year old. Yeah ... it was a long flight 🥴

Ah yes, another day of replicating an excel template into a web UI form with fields that auto fill based off of other fields. WOOOO 🫠

gah damn buying a house is so freaking complicated

The new Laravel Forge is 🔥

Hoping that maybe in 2026 nintendo will bring back Street Pass for the Switch 2 from the 3DS 🤞

Just pulled an 8 hour coding day at work - time for a 3 hour coding stream :) www.twitch.tv/spacelampsix

Whenever I order 3D Filament refills from Bambu Lab, it ships out of Trenton and gets to me wicked fast. An order I placed late Monday night is expected today 🔥

Our first Vendor Market today! w/ @shaniarob.bsky.social

If anyone has experience with Laravel Cashier w/ Paddle & know any good resources or references outside of the docs, please send them my way! Big-ish things happening over here. Maybe? Lol

10 hour gaming extravaganza! w/ @gabrieldontsnap.bsky.social @mizauste.bsky.social @shaniarob.bsky.social www.twitch.tv/spacelampsix

I am live on twitch - twitch.tv/spacelampsix playing mario Party Jamboree with some friends! We are starting a Mario party League, where across 10 different Mario Party games, we are going to play on every map and tally scores across them all. It's gonna be a ton of fun!

I am live on twitch - twitch.tv/spacelampsix playing PEAK with some friends!

I am setting up a "life" discord server for my fiancé and I. I was able to use Claude to generate code to auto have Google Calendar events sent to a specific channel via webhook integration using "google app scripts" (didn't even know this was a thing). It was so easy 🤘. Too easy... 👀.

Well. The third strike came in. 3 strikes in a week on videos over 6 years old means my entire channel will be deleted, VODs included. I tried to private all my videos but still got a strike. If anyone can do anything to help me please let me know. I am very unhappy.

If you DM your address to @kyledoes.dev he will send you a sweet postcard from his travels!

Our next meetup will be September 25th! Still finalizing the location, we'd love to see you! phpxnyc.com/meetup/2025-...

doing some programmer-ing over on =) twitch.tv/spacelampsix

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

Just got around to seeing the new Fantastic 4 movie. I actually really liked it. What did you all think?

My postcard wall grows stronger everyday! I love the way its turning out 😎 (pssst: if you want one from my most recent trip, shoot me your address!)

@shaniarob.bsky.social and I are officially engaged! I proposed this morning at Mt. Rainier! I was so so nervous, but she said yes!! (now shes stuck with me 😉) More pictures to come :^)

Hey neat! Look who’s on the Laravel blog! blog.laravel.com/under-larave...

Heading to Seattle tomorrow for a week. Let me know if you know any cool things to do =D

I wrote a little something about my experience this year at Laracon and the goals I want to work towards before the next one! kyledoes.dev/blog/post-la...

this is not a sustainable business model

I became "important" at work a few months ago and just got back from a week of PTO for Laracon US. Anyone wanna guess how many emails I came back to 😂 🥴

I got back from Laracon yesterday & I am super pumped to get back to work on some of my side projects. I am live on twitch right now working on some Laravel & Livewire code for songrank.dev ! Come hang & say hi! www.twitch.tv/spacelampsix

Laracon hasn't even started yet and chatting with all of yall has me more motivated than ever to continue workin on my side projects 😅🎉

Denver, I've arrived 😎 - how the hell are we?

Laracon bound 🔥✈️ - flight leaves in an hour! 🎉

I am playing some modded PEAK with some friends over at www.twitch.tv/spacelampsix - come hang!!

New Post 🤘 I wrote up how I decided to handle managing assets on my personal website with AWS & CloudFlare. Let me know what you think!🙂 kyledoes.dev/blog/laravel...

I have 3 ideas for blog posts and I just haven't sat down and typed them. I need to get at least 1 out before Laracon US😧

Another week of prints 🙌

🙌 Huge Breakthrough 🙌 songrank.dev ranking algorithm has been converted from Vanilla Js ☠️ -> Livewire 🚀 This means: - Auto saving rankings progress 🎉 - Progress indicator 🔥 - Less abandoned rankings 🫣 Looking to release it on Monday! Stay tuned for more too 🤫

Tonight I decided to work on a feature for my portfolio website. No Claude, No Cursor, No Co-Pilot, No LLMs. Just wrote some code and had a blast. It was refreshing thinking for myself. 😅 Could I have done it faster with LLMs? Yeah, most definitely -but it was a nice break. 🤘

When the bugs fight you so much that you hit claude's context limit ☠️

Some prints from my first week with the Bambu A1 ... and some failed prints 😅

I ran into a super nasty SQL issue at work today. The kind that usually takes an hour to debug then an hour to fix. (At least for me 😅) I gave Claude the stacktrace and 4 sentences worth of context. It spit out the solution and made it better too. It saved me so much time, but made me feel like:

Newest addition to the office 🔥

Nothing beats finding an really hard to reproduce bug. It's like catching the mole-person who has been living under your sink stealing your Oreos, but your wife and the cops don't believe you, forcing you to concoct a system of cameras and string to catch him in the act. Anyway, love my job 💪

Happy DHMIS day :]

Happy to announce I've been promoted to Senior Solutions Engineer at Retail Insights LLC! I'll be working closely with our biggest clients to plan, architect and develop solutions for their business needs. 😎

Working out of my parents house today to help my brother out while he recovers from a surgery (hes fine) - I forgot my usb hub, so I'm listening to everyone on the speakers today 😅

Not official yet, but its looking like I'm up for a promotion at work! Exciting stuff :)
