How much has your process for “writing code” changed in the last 12 months?

I’ve been seriously thinking about switching phparser.com over to #WASM, purely on the basis that I know NOTHING about it. Spinning up docker containers in job classes and then feeding back to the front end using #Laravel Reverb has been way more performant than expected. #php

Is AI at NFT levels of disdain yet?

I’ll be in London from around 4pm tomorrow for Laravel Live UK if anyone wants to hang out?

Next time …

I’ve been quiet on here, mostly been tinkering with Arduino and 3D printing to make sim racing gadgets like this.

Seriously considering Rivermind Lux

So true ...

Vibe coding …

I may have just purchased a 3D printer, I have a business idea but know nothing about 3D printing, let’s go 😀

I'm not sure, but I think I have an early winner for "UUID of the year" ba3c79cc-5d94-4213-aa41-2f614ba90c33 Let me know if you've seen anything better? has to be from 2025 though as we crowned 38db57db-8243-4129-bdec-56017397b62b the winner of 2024

Pretty happy with the first pass of Shale, just need to build on the AWS Bedrock concepts a little more, however adding additional models is really easy now. github.com/shale-php/sh... #Laravel #AI

Built my weekend project, my back hurts too much to race now.

Started working on a Laravel package last night to interact with AWS Bedrock (AI with loads of models to choose from) in the usual Laravel way. #Laravel

So far, PostgreSQL is just MySQL with some nice bells and whistles, I like it

Okay, FINE! I’ll learn PostgreSQL 😂

Need to upgrade my 2019 16 inch MacBook Pro, should I go to the MacBook Pro with the M4 chip or maybe the MacBook Air? Or something else? Guess all I need to run is docker, PHPstorm etc

Been given a rare pass from the wife, 2.4 hours of Spa endurance race coming up

Created 85 slides to convince people that testing is worth doing in a talk I am giving in a few weeks. Kinda hope it's enough, it should be ... probably ...

If you use a spell checker all the time does it mean you’re no longer learning new spellings since you don’t internalise the correction?

When you're married to someone named Jason, this happens A LOT.

Laravel Idea 10 is out! 🚀 It's probably the most significant update ever!

I introduced someone to the service container in Laravel along with service providers today, they were blown away. Reminded me of how I felt when I learnt about those things for the first time.

Played way too much Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 this weekend, most of that was brewing potions and picking herbs 😂

Ticket for Laracon Live UK booked for June in London 👍

Tomorrow I start building a talk I am giving at the end of the month about getting into testing software.

Yesterday I was building a tool in Laravel for handling packets / UDP to decode data from Lorawan devices, was interesting to go a bit lower level in PHP. socket_recv() socket_create() etc

Energy levels todo anything productive this weekend: 0

Just registered php.town - excited to build something for the community.

I wrote some stuff about PHP Generators richardbagshaw.co.uk/blog/php-gen...

About halfway through writing a blog post about PHP generators, and LazyCollections in Laravel. I’ve not written much until recently, feels good to be writing again.

Time is the ultimate currency, not money.

Sad, but true

Pest’s --coverage option now works with --compact to hide fully covered (100%) files from the output. Hope it helps—enjoy! ✨

Tried DeepSeek AI tonight, I am impressed, just need to dig out a couple of spare 5090ti cards now to get a local install going.

I got to use Generators and LazyCollections in PHP / Laravel today. Always feel smart when using those haha

Yeah thanks for sending me that email to tell me that I’ve unsubscribed from your emails.

I have some availability left that I need to fill for my freelance schedule, so if you’re looking for a Laravel / PHP developer for a project, or looking for someone to build on a fixed rate give me a shout. #Laravel #PHP #JS #Testing #API #Rest

Just don’t write bugs? 🤷

Thanks god someone launched this saas, stunning idea! getfullyear.com

Recognise …

Sunday, the day where you just wait for Monday.

What a time to be alive, PHP more popular than JS

Livewire Volt, don’t get me wrong, I love Livewire and Alpine etc, but Volt feels like a step backwards.

Laravel model classes, A or B and why? A) App\Models\Group::class B) App\Models\Groups::class I have an opinion on this, but won’t post until later, I wanna see other people’s thoughts first.

Bought so many courses and books recently, now I’m paralysed with fear incase I read the wrong one first.

Lmao, we’ve all been there Jeff
