Happy #BlackHistoryMonth ! Feb 23: Q: Not everything is racism! E.g. Black folk die young because of high BMI from their bad diets! That's on y'all! Right? A: Black people in the UK have higher BMI than white people, and live *longer* than white people. 🙂🙃 Read the whole linked thread.

The new Tailwind homepage is a real stunner my goodness tailwindcss.com

If you want to learn Rails or get better at Rails this is definitely a course you want to check out!

Excited for the launch of Geocodio's new technical blog, Code and Coordinates! @codemonkey.io kicked it off with a post on how we keep 300M+ addresses up-to-date. (Spoiler alert: it involves Laravel, SQLite, and crabs.) www.geocod.io/code-and-coo...

Did a little write-up about this past year before I officially shut the laptop for the rest of 2024 blog.joe.codes/2024-year-in...

THESE ARE YOUR COMMIT YOUR CODE SPEAKERS!! Tonight was a very impactful night. These are some of the biggest influences in my life. Some paved the way for me in the beginning, some continue to pave the way now Some, strangers that have become life long friends! #CommitYourCode

THIS IS THE COMMIT YOUR CODE CONFERENCE!! This is what this is all about for me. 🥹 Developers from different backgrounds coming out to a conference and hanging out together! This is COMMUNITY! Super proud of how this all came together. #CommitYourCode

@aaronfrancis.com was amazing at @dthompsondev.bsky.social's #CommitYourCode conference! I've heard his Publishing Your Work talk before, and it is even more powerful than I remembered. Worth rewatching the previous recording or this one when it is posted!

In the next few weeks we'll be kicking off work on new Laravel starter kits. Here's what I'm thinking... I don't think the starter kits should be packages. Instead, I think they should just be GitHub repositories you clone. All of the code lives in your application, no "install" commands. 🔨

Oh that's right, it's Black Friday! Buy my book for cheap, or don't. Kindle is $€£ 5 bc it's nearing 5,000 copies sold! I'd set the paperback at that price, too, but I'd make negative money so Amazon won't let me. So it's $€£ 9.99 www.amazon.co.uk/Deploy-Empat... www.amazon.de/Deploy-Empat...

I think I had a migraine Monday. It was awful. I just laid in bed all day. It is pretty rare for me to throw up but I did Monday. Thankfully I already sleep with an eye mask so I just used that during the day to keep out lights.

Thanks so much @marty.friedel.au! Also thanks for your help and tips! 😃

🚨 Tomorrow: Laravel Worldwide Meetup Tune in when I talk about improving your test suite with mutation testing in @pestphp.bsky.social And @rissabubbles.bsky.social tells you everything about "Crafting Compelling Laracon Talks" 📆 26. November ⏰ 17:00 UTC meetup.laravel.com

It's that time of the year again! 🎉 If you haven't had a chance to buy either of my books previously, you can grab them now. Will be updating both the books for free with whatever has changed in Tailwind CSS v4 in Jan. Do share if you think this might help someone. Links below because no space 😀

Wanna keep up with the laravel team and our ongoing work? @jbrooks.uk got you covered with a laravel employee starter pack 😊 go.bsky.app/B7uyDAf

ICYMI: I did an Interview with Eric Barnes for the @laravelnews.com Creator Series about all things Laravel Security. It's a great chat, covering a bunch of different security topics, including my most embarrassing moment on stage. 🫣 laravel-news.com/securing-lar...

I *think* I managed to create a @larabelles.com starter pack! Just a few people to get started, please share for reach and let me know who to add! go.bsky.app/ESR8LRp

Working on a little starter pack of Laravel Community members who aren't primarily Laravel Developers. If I've missed anyone obvious please let me know! If I added you to the starter pack and you're like "hey screw you I totally am a Laravel dev" also let me know! go.bsky.app/FNCmkUa

If you haven’t done so already, go into settings and then Accessibility and turn on “”Require alt text before posting”

Today I did something I wasn’t sure I could do. I stood on the @laracon.au stage, on holds bared, and shared my experiences with anxiety and depression. I’m speechless at the reception it received and have been in and out of tears most of the night. (cont…)

This was the most moving talk I have ever seen. The bravery and vulnerability Marty showed discussing his struggles was incredible, I had tears down my face the whole time + off/on for the next hour. The standing ovation was very well deserved, and the content personally resonated. Well done mate ❤️

I don't know what this is. I really don't. I just knew the only way I could cope was to write and this was what came out. joshcollinsworth.com/blog/childli...

Welcome to #LaraconAU day one - it's here at last! Doors open at QUT Gardens Theatre at 8.30am Check in and grab your badge at the door, swag bag, and t-shirt on your way into the foyer for breakfast 🌊

@taylorotwell.bsky.social and @jessarcher.bsky.social showing off Nightwatch onstage @laracon.au! This is so exciting and I can't wait for this to be available! The Laravel team is just unstoppable this year!

Show me something cool/fun you've built on the web. ✨ I'll go first: My son Marty and I built a browser game called Table Flipper to help folks burn off office anxiety/anger. 😅 megamaker.ca/tableFlipper/ My son Jamis made this video trailer for it. (And my son Liam helped play-test it)

I promised a video series on Trix & Laravel, and I only started working on it a few days ago. Here's the first video where I walkthrough the Workbench app inside the Rich Text Laravel package and dive into oembeds (which is based on Campfire): youtu.be/M0Z9WFbY-8U?... More videos coming!

trying to follow a bunch of PHP / JS developers. drop your “hi” below. 👇🏻

It's wonderful to see so many of my #laravel friends here! No matter what happens with other site I'll be able to keep up with my friends! 💜

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...

Ooh… another really nice Bluesky tool. I was able to find over 100 accounts based on my Twitter follows: chromewebstore.google.com/detail/sky-f...

For my talk called Tapping into the Power of Junior Developers I made this Early Career Devs Survey: forms.gle/vaz8QX9YDJ7S... If you are an early career dev I'd love to hear from you! Else I would love for retweets and shares to get the chance to hear from more early career devs!

Definitely feels pretty threatening sometimes!

Wow it seems like a bunch of Laravel people are joining lately. Happy to see so many familiar faces here too! Welcome! 🥳

@alexandersix.bsky.social hey!! You made it!! 🥳

LaraconUS was wonderful! Incredible talks! So much inspiration! And I really enjoyed meeting so many fantastic people in person that I had been following and talking to online for years. 💜
