Did you know your iPhone has a secret button? 🤯 It's the back of the phone. Tap it twice (or three times) to launch any shortcut you set. Settings → Accessibility → Touch → Back Tap → Double or Triple Tap Try it. You'll use it daily.

@adamwathan It’s not just the taxes. Getting a mortgage when you’re self employed is awful. High rates and huge admin fees.

As a Canadian whose life has been completely changed by entrepreneurship, it's hard to describe how disappointing this graph is 😕 Hopefully we can turn this around, it's in everyone's best interest to cheer for, celebrate, and support your builders.

@enunomaduro Why use database as a cache? Isn’t that the same as not caching. I agree with your take, just don’t start caching until you need to.

stop overengineering.. just use a database databases can handle auth, queues, drivers, caching, sessions, and more keep it simple 🤌🏻

@EricLagarda @enunomaduro @taylorotwell I feel your Swift testing pain

Not a bad test suite, right? Do you think we’ll reach 2k? I think so xD After working with Swift and writing tests, nothing beats coming back to Laravel and actually enjoying testing. Go Laravel and Pest! @enunomaduro @taylorotwell

@jamesm This is awesome

✨ Introducing Nestle Bring your Ring devices to your Mac’s menu bar. Still polishing a few features, and aiming to ship v1 soon. → nestle.cam

Today we're releasing Inertia 3! 🚀 It's packed with new features, a better developer experience, and fewer dependencies. Here's what's new 🧵

@laracasts If you need any help, let me know. I do this all the time. Least I could do for everything you've given me.

My personal mission is to get this Laracasts app up on the iPhone App Store and ready to download by mid next week. Never submitted to the App Store before. Hope I figure this out. 🙃

@sdw You create masterpieces 😍

This resonated with me so much. The times they are a changin

The weirdest response I've seen to AI is people saying "AI can't do X very well"—and just stopping there. With every other technology, we instinctively added "yet." Why does that word suddenly disappear when we talk about AI?

Trump will not take over 🇨🇦 for a very simple reason. Canada is a fairly liberal country. Even our conservatives are liberal by American standards. Canada becoming the 51st state would be a very large problem for Republicans.

@LiveDigitalArt Splinter Cell

@taylorotwell Thank you so much Taylor. This is going to be great for independent creators.

Next week's Laravel installer release will allow you to create an application using any community maintained starter kit available on Packagist. 🏄‍♂️

@chris__sev Love it!!!

Now available in Laravel Cloud 1-click Inertia SSR

@ianlandsman If I didn’t follow you, I don’t think I’d be seeing this content. How can we get more of the Laravel community over on Bluesky???

Does anyone know if @laravelphp Cloud supports SSR for Inertia apps?

@marcelpociot @nickmdiego I think I need to do a video on Herd for WordPress devs

@nickmdiego I'm biased, but Herd is great 🙂

Calling all WordPress developers. What's your primary local WordPress development tool? If Other, please note what tool you're using in the comments. Also interested in your favorite features of each.

@jeffrey_way Love your dedication to testing. Every time you learn a new tool, we all get better 😀

Taking a few hours today to learn about Playwright, and whether it's significantly better than Cypress (my current ETE tool). Working through: - The docs - playwright.dev - Nuno's stream - youtube.com/watch?v=gINpEk… - Kent's FS testing course - testing.epicweb.dev
