@jeffrey_way OMG, just launched my first app and decided to do SSR. The biggest pain is components that are client only. I had a helluva time getting flatpickr and Datatables (datatables.net Datatable component) to work. Still running into a blank page from transactional email links

Laravel + Inertia folks act like adding SSR support is just a matter of clicking a checkbox. Maybe that's the case for brand new apps, but if you're applying it to an existing codebase, there are *so* many little gotchas to watch out for.

@jeffrey_way I would definitely agree with that statement. Honestly, I think it's just a better place to work. Unfortunately, I can't tell you why, but there is a decided difference. Even the employees that have to stand outside and take drive thru orders are polite and friendly.

What’s the best explanation for this clear discrepancy?

@Kleenex Your boxes are terrible and the plastic comes off the opening and has been for months. Your website and phone line are also terrible. You guys are only worried about selling the cheapest crap at the highest price and don't give a sh*t about the consumer.

@YouTubeTV please resolve this as quickly as possible. College basketball is starting, and I will be forced to cancel if this isn't taking care of soon!

@johnmkoster @Alpine_JS @LaravelLivewire This looks awesome! Thanks for your work!

I've been a bit busy over the past few months! I've still been hard at work on Forte, a new Blade and HTML parser, but also a secret project built with it! High-level, I've been working on a browser-based development tool, focused on @Alpine_JS , @LaravelLivewire and @laravelphp Blade.

@UPS, Friday you emailed saying my package would be delivered Tuesday. Sunday, another email saying delivery Monday. Monday I got an email saying it would again be delivered Tuesday. Wow, are you really so disorganized? I'll think twice for my shipping needs in the future

@taylorotwell Yes, please!

Should these two commented lines be uncommented so that a SQLite in-memory database is the default when running tests on new Laravel applications?

@PovilasKorop Saw it live... It was very impressive!

That. Was. Impressive.

@jeffrey_way It's a mess to start. It's tough for me to always see the shortest way to an outcome without some iterating first. Cleaning comes later.

When you're working on a new feature or component, do you find that your code is pretty clean out of the gate? Or is it mostly a mess that you have to refactor into a more manageable state?

@espn I'd like to send an email to you to voice my displeasure at you showing a top ten MCBB matchup on a paid service like ESPN+, but apparently, there's no way to do that. You guys can't handle all the negative comments, but you can take everyone's money to subscribe to espn+

@NoContextHumans No answer, it's just a statement.

Who knows the answer?

@jeffrey_way Seems like history doesn't matter when you don't teach or try to erase certain things that happened in the past simply because they don't align with our views now.

Not the fault of the generation, imo. The responsibility rests entirely on the school system and parents. At no point in my 4 years of high school did any of the teachers discuss why it's essential that we learn about history. Instead, it was the usual fluorescent-light-soaked room with a seemingly depressed and monotone teacher: "Open your history book to page 210 and read aloud to the class. NO TALKING." - while half of us were falling asleep or staring at the clock in 30-second intervals. What did they think would happen?

@espn your login is broken once again. I'm pretty sure you have the money, time and developers to get this fixed for good. Thinking about moving all my fantasy football leagues to a reliable service provider.

@espn can you please get your log in process figured out? It's ridiculous that I can't log in today and have had issues almost everyday that I've tried to log in over the past few weeks. This is fantasy football season!!!

@dagorenouf @logologydesign Respect, my friend. Sorry, it didn't work out for you, but as I'm sure you have realized, your health and enjoying life are more important. Spend some quality time with your wife, family and friends. Commiserate over your failure, but don't dwell on it. Good luck!

My wife and I decided to give up on our startup @logologydesign It was a tough decision to make, especially after spending 5 years and almost all of our savings to bootstrap it. But the reality is that despite our best efforts, we never found a way to grow beyond survival profitability. Sure we had some wins, and I'm proud that we brought it to ~$3k revenue per month (+ $5k from my twitter course). But with the cost of living + running a business in France, it's barely enough to survive. And because our product doesn't have recurring revenue, we have to find 100+ new customers each month. This puts us under massive pressure. We thought of trying to switch to a recurring revenue model and invest in SEO, but with the uncertainty caused by A.I (both for acquiring customers and designing logos), we don't feel confident it would be enough. We could also try to raise money and hire a couple of people to offload some of the pressure... But after 5 years of fighting, we're exhausted, out of motivation, and out of money. So we decided it's better to call it quits 😞 I feel ashamed to not be one of the "successful founders" I see on twitter every day. I feel stupid that all the time and money spent wasn’t enough to make it. I also feel silly for celebrating that we reached profitability a few months ago... then a couple of months later it was already back below survival level 🤦‍♂️ I stopped tweeting this past few weeks because I feel like a loser and a failure. I’m afraid people will lose interest in me if I stop sharing motivating tweets. But at some point, I had to face the truth that I just can’t do it anymore. Last February I suffered a massive burnout. My heart rate started going crazy every time I stood up. I had to lay in bed for weeks and it was so bad that I thought it was long covid. Now I'm able to walk again but I need to take it slow and monitor my heart rate for random spikes throughout the day. The burnout also triggered a problem with my eyes. For the past month I get dazzled by bright lights like computer screens or traffic lights. Even just a sunny day is difficult to handle. I went to the eye doctor and they said spending so much time looking at screens without rest eventually damaged my eyes, and I'll need to wear glasses to see normally again. Destroying my health like this was not what I envisioned when we decided to bootstrap a startup 5 years ago. Our dream was to build a useful product, make a living on our own terms, and help other founders do the same. We were idealistic and thought having a good idea + working hard was enough to succeed. But competing in the crowded logo niche means that we struggled to make ends meet from the day we launched. We also made some bad strategic decisions which meant we had to overwork constantly just to stay above water. We didn't have time for hobbies, fun, or even romantic time with each other anymore. We spent every waking hour worrying about how to get our next customer. In the rare vacations we took, we couldn't relax because we kept thinking about it. Every. Single. Day. Somewhere on the way to chasing our dreams, we got lost. Instead of trying to live the life we wanted, we started sacrificing everything we cared about just to reach “success” at any cost. The burnout I had was a wake-up call that we can't keep going like this. The glasses I wear will forever remind me of the limits of my body. So that's why we're making this drastic change. My wife will keep the site running while she figures out what she does next. She might simply go back to designing custom logos like before, so if you need one just hit her up @LucieBaratte. (it starts at $3k but she's one of the best in the biz) On my end, I decided to go back to a job. I never thought I'd do this but I really need to put a stop to the crazy hours and constant financial pressure. I hope working on a product without having to worry about money will make work enjoyable again. I think someday I'll come back to building startups, but for now, I have no motivation for it. I need time to recover and live a simpler life for a while. Now even though it's a difficult time, there's one positive thing I'd like to mention. When I was at my lowest, dozens of friends I made on Twitter supported me. I exchanged DMs with many founders who gave me insights and perspective, and made it 10x easier to find a way out. Having followers is nice, but when I hit rock bottom and stopped tweeting, it wasn't worth much. However, the friends I made along the way had my back and it made all the difference. So I just want to say THANK YOU to all who supported me during this tough time. You truly are the best part of this journey 🥲 I'll be back with new tweets soon. Lots of lessons I want to share. Love you all 💙

Not sure if anyone else is still fighting with udemy.com and Google blocking the app when logging in using OAuth, but, if so, you will have to remove access for udemy in your Google account and then you will be able to log in again using OAuth.

@udemy I can't log in to my account because of something Udemy.com is requesting from my Google account via OAuth. I seemingly can't contact you in any way unless I'm logged in, but I can't log in. This needs to be fixed!

@udemy how do i get around Google's OAuth issue? Google is blocking login to udemy.com because 'the app tried to access sensitive info in your Google account'

@PovilasKorop This will have helpful information as well...stackoverflow.blog/2023/02/13/cod…

An email I received that got me thinking. Need your help to answer that, will be beneficial to others as well. What are the best ways to learn CLEAN and WELL ORGANIZED code? The topic is so broad and deep that I struggle to give *practical* recommendations. Anyone?

@PovilasKorop @PovilasKorop I'm sure it will be great, as all your content is, and many people will find it extremely enlightening!

Got an idea for a new course. At first it seemed weird and outdated, but pretty sure there's still a huge market for it. Take a free Bootstrap theme and slice its HTML/CSS pieces and pages it into a real Laravel project. Video step-by-step, of course.
