Jeesh chatty G, calm down I know you like me but let's keep things cool

Not sure of the function of it (yet), but @laravel.com Forge's "GitHub deployment records" is really cool. Shows recent deployments in the project's github repo. Anyone from the Laravel team can explain its function / why I like this so much? @jbrooks.uk maybe?

Okay, okay, okayyyyyyy.... I've come around to typescript

Welp. Today I learned about "click sabotage" in google ads.. if I set a budget of (say) $20 and set a specific keyword, there are bots set up by SEM companies for competitors that will click my ad frantically, blowing my budget early in the day. 1 impression for $14.

TIL: Creating a new AWS in the AWS "organisations" system, allows you to create a new org with a root user, but - wait for it - **They don't allow the new user to log into the new AWS org** 🤦

Any #aws product people floating about here? AWS organisations has _completely_ fudged my account settings up and I need a dig out

Jeepers LinkedIn - pheromone sprays?

Just seen on LinkedIn: Vibe Coding repair services 😂

VueJS - probably late to the party, but the defineModel() for deep reactivity - SO SO SO good. We're slingin' models around like crazy people over here now! 🤠 @vuejs.org

FFS javascript const index = myArray.value.findIndex(item => item.name === 'foo'); // returns index 0 ffsJavascript(index); function ffsJavascript(index) { let newObj = myArray.value[index]; // not found, `index` false - ffs javascript }

Sandra Bernhard! Yes! #severance

Something I learned yesterday: in Laravel (any framework really), if your users are going to be in different time zones, use timestamp() instead of dateTime() in your migrations. dateTime doesn't hold timezone info, and if you use a BI system (eg Metabase), the date-centric fields will misbehave.

Prediction: WebFlow will be bought by Adobe, and rebranded "Dreamweaver" #iykyk #iamold #veryveryold #webdevelopment #html

AWS Console multi-session support! Yes!!!

Anyone having trouble creating issues on GitHub? Hmmmm

Having a bit of a rose-tinted look back at my first #programming efforts. Started on a Sinclair ZX Spectrum (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZX_Spec...), then moved to an Amstrad CPC-464 (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amstrad...) - I think the spectrum was cooler though, the CPC464 was really only used for games.

There's no way AI is coming for devs. I just spent a half hour disagreeing with Chatty G about some sliiiightly incorrect code it generated, and after a few rounds, it completely backtracked. Companies relying on GenAI for code are wading into risky territory #hottake

Just installed Inertia JS v2 into a Laravel app - seamless upgrade! Loving prefetching & polling so far #laravel #inertia

Expanded the starter pack to include our Kiwi mates across the Tasman! go.bsky.app/NNFmHx1

Chatty G admitting there’s not much “Open” going on over there

Today I'm learning about with Laravel's encrypted environments so that we can stay within AWS Lambda limits for Vapor If this were the 1600's, the whole Laravel team would be burned at the stake for this witchcraft. Witchcraft!

Laravel `schedule:work` command is a little bit of gold within the framework - makes local dev work really nicely with how the app would behave in the real world. Love it!

PHP8.4 released as we awake in Australia. Wuhu! Hands up who started on PHP3 back in the day? ✋ #php 👋

We have a verified domain handle folks, it's only up from here.

ChatGPT acknowledging that there will be an AI uprising. We’re doomed - doomed!

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...

On the Reddit app on iOS, my mic is switched on every time the in-app browser is activated from a feed post. Very weird. Anyone else seeing this? Have Reddit jumped the tracking shark, now that they’re in cahoots with #google ?? Hmmmmmm. #reddit #mic #tracking #privacy

So I’ve pulled back from interacting with Twitter, and this is my notification feed now. Tell me it’s not on its last legs

Any fellow #php #laravel #vuejs #flutter #golang developers here in the ‘sky? Like this post and I’ll give you a follow, looking to connect with more tech dev folks here. Have a great week!

Ok, I’m thinking that Twitter is done for me now. Not sure if BlueSky is the answer, buts it’s sure a refreshing alternative. I’ve still to get to grips with content and people discovery though, and interested to see if there will be any APIs so us coder types can build useful stuff

doing numbers on bluesky (20+ likes) feels like making all my buddies at the bar laugh while doing numbers on twitter feels like accidentally alerting The Predator to my location

Anyone got any examples for startup / tech feeds to follow here on Bluesky? #startups #tech Also, do hashtags work in here? #hashtags #bluesky

Hey Bluesky! It took a while for the invite code to show up, but let’s see what all this is about. Let’s go!
