@markjaquith but in all seriousness, I've never seen a movie twice in the theatre. 😅

@markjaquith In this economy! 😂

What movies have you seen in theaters more than once during their initial run? I’m seeing Project Hail Mary again on Sunday, but before that the last one I remember was seeing The Little Mermaid twice in 1989.

@EmmettNaughton That’s the kind of spam I’m looking for. 😅

@ericlbarnes none of them are offering a round of golf....

Calendar invite spam is getting out of control. 😡

Want to start a Laravel meetup in your city? Watch this. 👇 @TMoney1371 says Laravel will help you get organized, get listed on their site, and even cover pizza and drinks! Reach out to @samsappenfield1 to get started.

Looks like my @laravelnews interview at @LaraconEU just went live 😁 youtube.com/watch?v=bSaJpJ…

@TyNoryan Oh no! 😟

@ericlbarnes I killed a smart TPLink switch a few months ago because the power bricks for them look identical and I plugged in a POE power into a Non-POE switch. It waved me a little spark and went dark forever. All it takes is a different connector plug, like diesel vs gasoline. 🤦‍♂️

Everybody needs a cord box… until you grab the wrong cord and spend weeks wondering why your whole setup is broken 😅

@CraigThirtyFour @ninjaparade 😅 yeah. Yaz took it so I don’t have context on what day or location.

@ericlbarnes @ninjaparade Wait is that me? I have no recollection of this

What happens when you hand out disposable cameras at Laracon US! Thanks to @ninjaparade for sending them.

Anyone found a decent way to manage and combine all their dm's across all the social services?

It's out! My New FREE Laravel 13 "crash course" for beginners! laraveldaily.com/course/laravel… SHORTENED it 3x: only 29 mins (Laravel 12 course was 93 mins). 1. I explain concepts, not syntax 2. I use Claude Code to generate code, not write from zero 3. I build THREE practical demos

@PovilasKorop Great way to restructure it! 🙌

@pascalbaljet @ShaneDRosenthal @DutchLaravel He is everywhere!

@ShaneDRosenthal live at the @DutchLaravel meetup!

@jessethanley @codyschneiderxx @Bento Can confirm. 🫡

@codyschneiderxx No @Bento is best

if you build an email marketing platform that allows you do everything through the API you will make so much money

What a manic start to March! 🙌 Laracon EU in Amsterdam → Laravel London, back to back. The community never fails to deliver. Great to meet so many of you 🤝

This is one of those interviews where I'd like to do it again. @TMoney1371 has a lot of business wisdom that I didn't even get to ask about. 😢

@fideloper @taylorotwell Hopefully no spiders this time. 😂

@taylorotwell omg I'm old

Casual 13 year break between Laracon talks. 😏

Shipped the Laravel package for OG Kit! Tell a friend 😁 ogkit.dev/docs/laravel

@tobias_petry That's a great idea. Sort of like socks. Just throw them all away and buy multiples of the same color and brand.

@ericlbarnes Many years ago I threw out all cords and replaced them with a few high-quality ones that would support everything - like every feature, maximum speed etc. Was awesome that I could just grab any cable. Must do this again with all the different USB-C ones again...

15 minutes of me and @ericlbarnes what more do you want

@EmmettNaughton @IanLandsman @taylorotwell Might be a few bucks more. 😅

@ericlbarnes @IanLandsman @taylorotwell Just imagine the cost NOW to hire both you and @taylorotwell! A little bit more expensive now.

. @IanLandsman hired @taylorotwell and me at the exact same time, without telling either of us. "Who is smarter than me? Not many people, come on." 15 years later, one of them is very successful. 😅
