@brendt_gd “Salutations, 6 year olds! Who wants to see me process 6 MILLION records per SECOND?!”

Today I'm speaking at a pretty amazing conference: my 6-year old son's class who are learning about professions. 😁

@jeffrey_way @PovilasKorop I totally agree. I think the long form videos that will succeed now will be more geared towards architectural decisions, and how to keep large apps ai compatible by following good patterns, and ruthlessly guiding ai along the implementation

@PovilasKorop I think any long form video involving coding by hand is effectively dead at this point.

With AI, devs get quickly addicted to ready-made things. It's affecting my video numbers. Longer videos explaining the PROCESS and the WHY are losing. Shorter videos with ready-made tools/skills/prompts get highest views. Gonna go for a walk to think what to do with it.

Maybe the real consciousness was the tokens we made along the way

@joshcirre @peterramsing Mine was called conductor. But yeah Liam built one too. I might pick mine up again at some point because I have plans to make it integrate for natively with composer. github.com/artisan-build/…

@peterramsing Ahh. Makes sense. I probably should be more wary of everything I have installed globally. 😂 composer needs a npx alternative. I know a couple of people are working on one but nothing has taken off. @ProjektGopher you were building one right?

Timeline Component and Progress component are themeable with TweakFlux too. Because Caleb makes everything so clean. tweakflux.com

@aschmelyun I bet that an animation even this simple was so much fun

Playing around with some animations between segment displays. The chip you see in the video is a MAX7219, and lets you control 8 separate displays with a single data line!

@jeffrey_way I wrote Whisky specifically for this! github.com/ProjektGopher/…

Assuming you're letting AI write 90% of your code at this point, I think there's a good argument that you should put up some guardrails for yourself. Example: Add a pre-push Git hook that aborts if your tests fail. (You can always `git push --no-verify` to skip.)

Hey @dr4goonis I found a scratch file in a project of mine reminding me to ping you when I launch Resonance. Well, uh, it’s been like a year and a half but I’ve finished it, haha. github.com/artisan-build/…

@paulredmond When I get a moment to breathe I’ve got “final orbit” by cmdr Chris Hadfield on my coffee table. Excited to dig into that one. I hope it’s good

I've read three books in a row that I thought were pretty meh. That said, I really want the next book I read to be amazing. I know you can't promise that (maybe you can), but what suggestions do you have? Only stipulation is it has to be fiction and not a Romantasy.

Looks like I'm headed to Boston in a few months

I posted my RFC to r/php and there is some absolutely spirited discussion around it. reddit.com/r/PHP/comments…

I’m positive I’ll regret this, but I’ve posted this week’s two videos of mine to Reddit. Let’s see how it goes…

I have a completed rfc ready to go, but I'm feeling overwhelmed by the number of steps needed to get it considered. Does anyone have a link to some literal step by step guide on getting your rfc submitted so that I can overcome my executive disfunction here?

The problem these changes solve weren’t obvious to me at first, but TJ is doing some really good work here. This system is so well thought out

@mateusjatenee I’ve never had enough time to execute on my experiments before. I feel like a superhero right now

funny how all the people who are crushing with LLMs were already crushing without LLMs

@aschmelyun So cool! I was going to use that extension to make a front end for my pure php Tetris implementation. Hadn’t even considered that we could simply emulate the 6502 and load the ROMs directly!

Someone has made an NES emulator in vanilla PHP, this is actually insane

@Sairahcaz2k Thx, man! It's been really fun to build

@ProjektGopher looks pretty cool

I've been building a layered rendering engine and component library for building TUI applications named Parfait. Here's a sneak peek!

@faissaloux Je vois ce que tu as fait là 😅

@ProjektGopher Parfait!

@m1guelpf love experimenting with crazy stuff

@ProjektGopher crazy

@aarondfrancis I had completely forgotten that you'd extracted that into it's own discrete package 🫣 I'll 100% use this as I continue to clean it up!

@ProjektGopher please tell me you used solo/grapheme

@aarondfrancis Thx man, I knew you’d understand the pains of grapheme width 🙃

@ProjektGopher This looks great
