@aschmelyun @laravelphp Congratulations!!

A little life update: I'm joining the team at @laravelphp! I'll be working on the cloud platform, and am excited to be alongside such an incredibly talented group of people.

GIVEAWAY TIME! 🎉 I'm giving away 3x 1-year licenses for @phpstorm! To enter, just drop a comment and tell me your favourite PHP package. I'll choose 3 random winners on Monday 4th May 😄

Stop hanging around shitty people. Let go of people who hold you back from your full potential. Shittiness is contagious. Removing a shitty person from your life is addition by subtraction. Cultivate your friend group like a garden and remove the bad weeds.

@LaraconUS @TightenCo @LarabellesPHP @Geocodio Hope to see you at the Larabelles Day 0 event at Laracon US, sponsored by @Geocodio and @TightenCo! luma.com/0j18sp8t

@ericlbarnes I’m really liking these personal channel videos!

Made another video because I think it's fun to do 😅 This time it's my office setup: Camera, Lighting & How I Make Videos for Laravel News. youtube.com/watch?v=OWL9aX…

@aarondfrancis @willking Practice, lots and lots of practice.

@willking How are they all so good at it

How come when I look for something it simply doesn't exist but when my wife looks it's right there in plain sight where it always is

@jackmcdade @adamwathan Ditto to TinkerCAD, but if you want to go a little more "code-y" you can try openscad.org

@adamwathan TinkerCAD is the easiest and so far has been able to handle everyone I’ve tried yet. Fusion has a pretty steep learning curve. Haven’t needed anything it can do this far.

Want to try designing some really simple stuff to 3D print, like some slat wall hooks for my tool room for example. Is Fusion360 the best thing to learn first? Something simpler?

👋 PSA / Message to all Saloon users We've published 3 CVEs affecting all versions of Saloon, including one rated high. We strongly recommend upgrading to v4 as soon as possible. Upgrade guide (v3 → v4) docs.saloon.dev/upgrade/upgrad…

@AshAllenDesign Here's a repo where I've started playing with SFC and MFC if you're interested: github.com/techenby/sunny

@AshAllenDesign Yeah I'm still developing my personal "best practices" for this structure, but I _really_ like the configurable namespaces.

Livewire developers, which type of components are you using in your projects? 😄

@DCoulbourne I would be super interested in a blog post on how you implemented the AI data scoping for tidyup.agency that y'all talked about in the latest episode of Talking Businessly!

@willking I know someone who could make that for you, do you want me to see if they're open to commissions?

Want. In my office. Immediately.

Woah! Check out this incredibly detailed explanation of Blaze internals. Great job figuring all of this out @gcavanunez

You may have heard of Blaze, the new tool from the @LaravelLivewire team that speeds up Blade. But did you know how it works? From folding to function compilation, we break down its optimization strategies, and even build a mini version to understand it. tighten.com/insights/blaze…

@JustSteveKing Yeah, I gathered that too. I'm curious if they added helpers or similar to help with DX.

@techenby From what it sounds like, it's a simpler implementation using URL parameters to scope teams instead of sessions and a current_team_id

Hold your hand up if you're waiting for the new Laravel 13 and updated starter kits to build something?

contrast-color() is landing in Chrome 147, making it Baseline Newly Available in all modern browsers. This feature takes any color value and returns either black or white—whichever provides the highest contrast against the input color. i.e. color: contrast-color(purple) returns white ⬇️

@zeddotdev Duster

If you write PHP for a living, which formatter do you use?

@JustSteveKing @typecraft_dev I’d say the only reason to get the P1S is to save some money.

@techenby @typecraft_dev I'm on the fence between the P1S and P2S right now. I don't need it for anything in particular, but don't want to get the older model for the sake of it.

What should I do with this?
