Hey! I just came on because I’ve had a few people reach out and ask. 1) I’m not going to Laracon, nor will I be going again. 2) no I’m not shooting Laracon, Hank told me he can find someone to do it for a fraction of the cost. 🥷📸✌️

A look into what I’ve been up to this past month. Going back to what I love and dreamed of doing leaving high school. No more boring conferences photos for this guy ⚽️📸🥷

It’s been one of the most productive and happy stretches of weeks I’ve had in years. I’ve completely ditched twitter and stopped being the sole maintainer of what I thought were friendships is the most freeing and mentally healthy things I’ve ever done. Highly recommend it. 🥒💅🏻

This mornings walk was incredible

Statamic 6 is here! 🚀 A redesigned Control Panel, a modern Vue 3 + Inertia foundation, a new UI component library, a long list of architectural & performance improvements, and that's just scratching the surface. This is a new beginning, ready for what comes next. ❤️

I live in a fantasy land I think. Sometimes it’s just so surreal.

How I feel right now having listened to Taylor talking about the #Laravel AI package coming soon.

The more non technical people build apps with AI the more skilled developer work is created. Embrace the change and challenges of this new paradigm. I got a week’s worth of work done in a single day yesterday. How can you be bullish on AI?

Sales and orders now complete. There’s just no stopping me anymore.

See you there 🫡 laracon.eu/tickets

The iOS mobile app (swift/native) for @50sq.bsky.social is coming along so well. I’m so happy and excited to get this done and out.

I just finished up a call with someone who had vibe-coded an error into a revenue-generating application that cost the company 6 figures in (fortunately recoverable) lost revenue. It's recoverable because two developers with a combined 40 years of experience managed to unwind the problem.

Christmas Day trying out the new jersey ❤️ 🇩🇪⚽️🇨🇦

Happy productive Friday! I made more progress on my Lightroom Classic plugin for @50sq.bsky.social Wanted to give you all a quick peek of how it works. This is such a game changer for me! Let me know what you think! www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0LC...

Happy birthday @joe.codes It must feel kind cool to be legal drinking age in the US finally?

Hey @laravel.com folks 👋 I want to gift someone a lifetime licence to Beyond Code’s Tinkerwell App! Ideally, I’d love to find someone who’s just getting started or would really benefit but might find it a bit out of reach financially. Who’s in ❤️??

I’d apply but no write good.

If you're a dev or otherwise *extremely* familiar with #Laravel and you're a great writer, we're looking for the next addition to our GTM team 🔥 apply.workable.com/laravel/j/9F...

I want to share one of my favourite photos form @laracon.au. its one of someone I am so glad I got to meet and hear speak. You go to a tech conference and listen to talks and once in a while you hear one that breaks you down emotionally. Thank you Ryan (rvx.works) for your amazing talk!

I made a new version of the @laracon.au recap video to show @thierylaverdure.com what it would look like when he comes next year. How much better is the video with him IN it. RT for reach and to add increased pressure on him to attend.

I can’t say enough about how amazing, welcoming and incredible @laracon.au was. Thank you @dyrynda.au for allowing me the opportunity to be there! Already counting down the days until 2026!

I haven’t been on here much over the last couple of weeks, but it has once again been my enormous honour, pleasure, and privilege to host you all in Brisbane for @laracon.au May you all take small steps, make big shifts, and find that little extra as you #LevelUp Safe travels!

Hacked on a utility called Tether at the weekend. Clone a package down, run Tether, select the package you wanna link and it'll configure a Composer repository & symlink Vite assets. 🔗 It's pretty scrappy, but hopefully it's useful to someone! github.com/duncanmccle...

It started with a single photo at Laracon. Then the stickers. Then the movement. Historians will study this moment for generations.

I wrote up a few thoughts on HelpSpot turning 20 today ianlandsman.com/helpspot-tur...

Dream role with the dream team and Nuno.

📣 The Laravel Open Source team is hiring! If you want to help create an incredible developer experience that impacts hundreds of thousands of software engineers, let's chat 🤙 apply.workable.com/laravel/j/15...

I'm always impressed by just how many people who've never maintained any open source software are so wonderfully generous with their advice about how to do it correctly

I never imagined I’d get to see my favourite childhood team play a playoff series so close to Vancouver! The Mariners have become my favourite team to watch, so this opportunity after what felt like an endless game to clinch for the M’s last night is surreal.

Bit over a month until #LaraconAU and we’ve published the full schedule < 80 early bird tickets left, plus community sponsorship options to get your company in front of Australia’s best and brightest Laravel people ready to #LevelUp! 📅 laracon.au/schedule

Still one of my favourite features that I added in @50sq.bsky.social is surfacing duplicate photos in my media library. Uploading thousands of images at a time, your bound to make that mistake. 💅

Curious what it looks like to implement the new Inertia Infinite Scroll component? Have 3 minutes? That's all it takes. I whipped up a little demo: youtu.be/gQB6DdPHzSY

I just popped on here to say that @thierylaverdure.com is not only an amazing developer he is also an amazing human and so much fun to work and learn from.

Was asked by @ninjaparade.bsky.social to turn this photo of @dyrynda.au into a meme.

Been thinking about using random-but-deterministic images on our #LaraconAU badges this year, and when I asked @taylorotwell.bsky.social how he did it he said "Vibe code it" Here's the result of Laricon; vibe-coded and live on Laravel Cloud laricon.laravel.cloud

My talk from Laracon US is live 🥳 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1tD... In 10 minutes & 66 (!) slides I cover everything from academic libraries📚 to Y2K-era dotcom puppets🐶 and why your taste & judgement will matter more than ever before.

I got SSR working for 50sq today. Now when you share an image or gallery link you’ll get a nice preview. 😱 app.50sq.com/g/01k2jrbnjk...
