Tinkerwell calls me a Query Goblin. I speak fluent Eloquent and my queries have queries. #TinkerwellWrapped 😂

Hey @cmorrell.com I saw a truck the other day with an Interachi sticker on it!

Got to see some an amazing northern lights in the Twin Cities last night!!!

@mattstauffer.com I don’t know whose idea it was to make these @tighten.com fidget toys for Laracon but it was genius. I have another fidget spinner that I rarely use, but I use this thing multiple times a day, and I don’t even like noisy/clicky keyboards.

@tjmiller.bsky.social any plans to add support for the OpenAI conversations API? Specifically, the part where we can pass a conversation ID. platform.openai.com/docs/guides/... I’m happy to submit a PR for that… Just wondering if you had bigger plans

Sounds about right 😂

It’s been a while…

@laravel.com @thehanktaylor.com the new monthly changelog is a great idea!! Any chance you could add RSS support for those of us that still use old-school feed readers?

From bush to dish in 24h: picked some wild black raspberries and made fresh ice cream 😋

Anybody using Prometheus and/or OpenTelemetry in their Laravel apps in production? Do you measure *everything* or just specific routes/jobs/etc. of interest?

Laravel friends: anybody know of good testing setups to hunt for scalability issues before they crop up for real users? I'm less concerned with stress-testing (concurrent requests) than I am with issues caused by large database volume (both mysql data and redis cache).

Had a blast with my @phpxmsp.com pals tonight! Special thanks to @cmorrell.com and @shanedrosenthal.bsky.social for flying in to give some fascinating talks

Prompted by somebody asking how to learn the Laravel ethos, I put together a list of resources that have been extremely helpful to me: andrewrminion.com/2025/04/lara... #laravel #learning #podcasts

What are your favorite AI tools for development these days? Evaluating some to start using soon with our team on a Laravel + Vue + Tailwind site.

@dyrynda.au @jakebennett.bsky.social I just started the Laravel News podcast. I had my own full-time business for nearly 5 years and it was actually much harder to take time off than it has been for me as an employee.

This is such a great approach!!

Great talk by @davehicking.com at the inaugural @phpxmsp.com meetup tonight! Thanks for the reminder to step back and ask questions.

Wow...this is really cool!!

Starting a thread of Ubuntu tips and software as I start using and discovering them...suggestions always welcome!

A bit cold but still a good day out there

Anybody have tips and tricks for using Ubuntu as your primary dev machine? I’m used to macOS…

Current status:

A running thread of some of my favorite books over the years:

Which would you try first?

We're so excited to welcome @davehicking.com as our first speaker! He's fresh off Laracon AU and ready to talk about being a healthy developer. Join us January 23 RSVP at phpxmsp.com

Can you tell I love @raycast.com? 😂 Raycast Wrapped is pretty cool

@joe.codes I’m curious about that first-party Laravel VS Code Extension…any word on when it might be released? Need any beta testers?

Had a great time at the First Lego League competition on Saturday. Our team didn’t place but learned a lot and enjoyed the process.

Ha…this is pretty cool! blueskyroast.com/roast/andrew...

Anybody else decorate two trees? We have the color-coordinated “pretty tree” and the “family tree” with all the other “random” ornaments 😆

Playing this classic for the first time in years. Figured it was time to teach the kids

It's official - the first PHP×MSP meetup is scheduled for January 23. We'd love for you to join us! ☑︎ RSVP at phpxmsp.com/meetups/2506...

Tinkerwell users: I occasionally see “PHPStan extension detected; enable PHPStan?” pop up in the status bar, but I can’t seem to click it to activate, nor can I find any docs about it. Anybody know anything about it? @marcelpociot.bsky.social @dianawebdev.bsky.social

Post your workstation setup.

Building a side project with FluxUI and Verbs to try out event sourcing. Thanks to @coulb.com and @cmorrell.com for something else to focus on tonight 😂 and @calebporzio.bsky.social for making the UI so easy!

Yes! I was a poll worker for a number of elections while I was in college. Many of them don’t do this every day and are just trying to remember and follow all of the county procedures and rules.

Whatever happens, try to do the right thing, try to protect people weaker than you, try to stand up to bullies, try to speak truth to power.

👀 585 starter packs listed. Sure there are still more to collect, but excited to see so many here: blueskydirectory.com/starter-pack... #buildinpublic #starterpacks #starterpack

Us programmers all know timezones suck, but what if I told you they suck less than you think? 👀 This is a great read from Ulysse Carion 🌍 ssoready.com/blog/enginee...

Time to get started…

@mijustin.bsky.social still adding people to your Laravel starter pack? Any chance you could add me? Thanks!

Beautiful fall day today!

Use Horizon and batch some jobs? Need to cancel a batch without clearing all the other queued jobs? I did…so here’s a package to do that: andrewrminion.com/2024/09/lara... #laravel #horizon

I’ve just update the Laravel starter pack (with some great suggestions from @cmorrell.com). Lots of good people to follow here: bsky.app/start/did:pl...
