You've heard of @laravelphp Jetstream We've all built amazing software with it. But Starter Kits are so 2020. Today, I'm ready for you to try slipstream.codes Early Access is up now. And it's free.

No better feeling

Laravel was so far ahead of the game with Laravel Boost tbh. Like almost a year ahead. Still so much work to do. The definition of who can be a Laravel developer is about to get very broad.

Every wondered which model is best for Laravel and how much does Boost actually help? We had the same question - here's what we found out. 👀 laravel.com/blog/which-ai-…

@Authenticbekah @R_R_Hutchinson I hope they tip well, or at least give you 5 stars 🤩

@R_R_Hutchinson Mostly playing taxi for my kids and grocery shopping but hoping to get an 11 mile run in too.

Happy Friday! 😊 Any weekend plans?

@Authenticbekah Good. Me too! ♥️

Trying to remind myself of this daily! ❤️

@Authenticbekah Stephen was right all along

My 7 y.o. drew this bear. I think we need to read less nature books that talk about the dangers of wild animals. 🫠

@Authenticbekah Surely not 😅

@SeanPTalbot Oh dear, we are all annoying from time to time. I know I am.

This is literally me. 😭 Also, happy Monday! Well, if there is such a thing as a happy Monday, let's be real, but I wish you a good day nonetheless! Hopefully today goes better than we think. 😊

#poetrycommunity Do people still buy books of poetry? I recently had a writing friend recommend I self-publish a book of my poetry, but I'm on the fence about it, especially since I already post my poems on my blog.

@Authenticbekah @ChuckS65 Cool! 🎸🤘🏻 You planning to post some videos?

Thank you @ChuckS65 for encouraging me to get a ukulele! I've been enjoying learning to play it. 🎶 🎵 Since I already knew how to play the guitar, it hasn't been too hard to pick up, which has been nice. 😊

@Authenticbekah Aww, void kitties are the sweetest 😻🐈‍⬛

I'm kinda late for Caturday, but here is a photo of Zephyr, nonetheless, giving me some kind of look. Lol 🐈‍⬛🖤

@Authenticbekah I, too, identify as a Captain obvious 😅

Good morning! 🌞 Happy Wednesday! 😃 Captain Obvious reporting to inform you that we're halfway through the week. 🤪 The photos are from yesterday from a park me and my kids went to with some fellow homeschool friends. ❤️

@Authenticbekah Here's to the thick & thin ☺️

the #velocity at which you can be discarded by someone you called 'friend' while heart wrenching in the moment especially if you don't know what you did is a blessing in disguise the real ones stay by your side thru thick & thin while fake friends aren't worth the time #vss365

@SeanPTalbot Yep 😭🫠 oh the tortures of the mind. 😭🫠

Seriously though 😭 who else can relate?

@Authenticbekah Same 🫠 Combined with the ability to set my own schedule, it can get dangerous

Relatable 😭😴

I made my very first dollar as an entrepreneur on Gumroad ❤️ very proud to have built something they love over there and to have them as a partner.

🎧 Recorded a new morning walk this morning, hard one to share because I'm sure people will want to roast me for it but have been transparent up until now so publishing it anyways.

2021: it can’t even autocomplete a line 2022: it can’t even write a whole function 2023: it can’t even pass a coding interview 2024: it can’t even build an app 2025: it can’t even handle complex projects 2026: oh no

Overwhelmed by the support over the last 24 hours, not something I was looking for and expecting when I recorded that podcast on a whim. Thanks so much to everyone with words of encouragement, the new sponsors we've brought on, and people who've used their platforms to help in any way, I'm extremely touched ❤️ I feel like I have to make it clear though that we've still got a fine business (even if things are trending down), just not a great one anymore. Had to make a really crushing change and did everything I could to do it in the most generous and gracious way possible, but at the new size we're okay. We're comfortable, and things like our partner program are helping a lot to fund the framework more directly instead of selling products that are more at risk of disruption. We don't need anyone to rescue us, we've got lots of time and space to try new ideas and see what works 🙏🏻 I'm optimistic we'll figure out how to get things moving in the right direction, but even if we just have be a smaller business with less budget than we've had in the past that's okay too ❤️
