Perhaps its time for new boots..

This blows my mind every time I check it 🤯

Livewire 4 is hereeee :^)

as soon as they push ads into web based AI models (Chat GPT, Claude, whatever) its all joever bro.

silly season is over and all i wanna do is go back 🫠

it is hilarious how poorly the epic games launcher runs on my machine... (i have an i9 with 32gb ddr4)

there is a special place in hell for those folks that follow you in their car to your parking spot at Costco and wait there, cause parking lot traffic, and rush you while you load your car with your groceries while you leave. 🙃

I made a little "year in review" video on songrank.dev - give it a watch if you're interested in stats behind the platform! youtu.be/ZIF1Bt6Wlok

This one is embarassing, but I finally fixed a song rank bug to exclude "deleted tracks" from playlist rankings on spotify. Sometimes spotify steps in and removes artists' tracks, but they still linger as "deleted & unplayable" in playlists and are not removed from the API

@kyledoes.dev took an idea from the podcast and really ran with it! laraword.dev

laraword.dev is live! Laraword is a little wordle clone for Laravel Artisans! There is a daily game, free play, leaderboards, etc. Go check it out! :^)

latest little update on my Wordle clone where all of the terms are Laravel development terms. Added a word bank and free play mode. Leaderboards coming next :^)

imposter syndrome hitting different today 🤙🏻

for fun I started building Wordle but its just laravel & php terms, packages, keywords and more. using Laravel & Livewire with Filament! gonna add leaderboards next :p

Big thanks to Aaron Belz from the PHP/Laravel community for the standing desk upgrade 🙌 Now running a dual-desk setup for work & play 😎 (still working on a better layout for them, lol)

Wow! My app songrank.dev just hit over 1000 users! No advertising or promotion - just word of mouth and google search, lol. Thank you everyone who has checked out song rank. I never thought this little app I built for myself & friends would've gained so much attention. More features are coming soon!

Wait, Laravel has WHAT NOW wrapped.laravel.com/share/my-wra...

My top podcasts this year!

Mostly Technical got my top spot. More in my #SpotifyWrapped. www.spotify.com/wrapped-shar...

I hate windows 11 but yet again i installed it

I may finally have a reason to try out laravel cloud! (May have just landed my first client 🤯)

But what If they ACTUALLY drop half life 3

I know there are more people using Laravel in the northeastern US than are on this map! Head over to laramap.dev and add yourself today 🤝

Shake shack is so mid bro

dr pepper cherry zero sugar is DANGEROUS

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!)
