@netflix Can’t wait to participate in paying for this through increased subscription costs!

Today, Netflix announced our acquisition of Warner Bros. Together, we’ll define the next century of storytelling, creating an extraordinary entertainment offering for audiences everywhere. about.netflix.com/en/news/netfli…

@aarondfrancis How did you pull this off with two sets of twins!?

I just got back from my Vision Quest where I spent 48 hours completely offline. I spent a lot of time just... staring at trees. Weird things happen when you sit on the porch for hours with no music, no phone, no books. I feel like my brain literally rewired itself. Five stars!

@David_J_Bier I disagree with Trump on almost everything and I am celebrating this decision.

The most anti-legal immigration administration in American history continues to threaten US prosperity and freedom. This action would kill the H-1B visa and ban some of the highest-value employees in America. Utterly incomprehensible.

@marcelpociot @laravelphp That’s good because I’d be screwed if it didn’t 😀

If you were wondering: @laravelphp Herd works great on macOS 26 🚀 herd.laravel.com

@adamwathan Definitely no bubble here. No sir

Are there any other open source apps we could fork and move the tabs to the side then sell for $610m? 🤔

@jackmcdade I’ve sold sites on the premise that WordPress is “free and awful” and Statamic “isn’t free but isn’t awful” and also the fact that I can do stuff faster in Statamic it actually costs less. Someday I might just pay for the license since it would make my life easier

I've spent the last year or more trying to market Statamic without comparing it to another product or saying anything negative about WordPress. Simply just showing what it does. It pains to me say but this approach gets basically no traction these days. The people want 🌶️🌶️🌶️

@calebporzio @taylorotwell My only question is: Are you going to Chuck E. Cheese’s?

🚀 Wire:live is...well...LIVE! If you're into Livewire or anything adjacent, come hang out in Buffalo on October 28-29 and hear awesome talks, work together, and eat some wings 🔥I'm gonna demo all the latest coming to Livewire 4 and tag a beta on stage

AI demonstrates the sunk-cost fallacy perfectly: Just one more "this doesn't work!" prompt, you think, and it'll fix it!! But often it won't, and now you've wasted 30 minutes begging that you could have spent learning how to actually fucking do it yourself.

@samlambert It makes me sad to say this, but sometimes this still is

back in my day this was our vercel

@AskPayPal I’m getting bombarded with fraudulent payment requests. I am forwarding to phishing@payal.com but I want to stop these altogether. This is absolutely ridiculous that PayPal facilitates attempted fraud at this level. How can I make these stop?

@MattRudkinWX I have Bluesky but I am having trouble finding the people I want to follow there. It should get better over time as more people start to make the switch.

Twitter is a total dumpster fire anymore... just full of bots. My main focus is Facebook, but am curious if anyone has explored Bluesky. Worth it? Any other platforms worth going to? I may do an in-depth blog off of my app, given the active user #'s. Thx for feedback!

i am increasingly skeptical of open source that is directly tied with vc

@andrewfromtx Also notice me not calling you out for not disclosing that you are the creator of a competing WP shopping plugin. I didn’t do that because I was able to get that information myself by going to the obvious source of that information (ie your profile description)

@andrewfromtx The good thing about open source is that people can review the code. To say there was zero disclosure given doesn’t make sense to me. Also I’d file this under “no duh” because if I made a plugin I would also have put my affiliate link in there. Nothing is free.

I can't believe Woo had an affiliate link in their Stripe gateway this whole time with zero disclosure. I've been working in WordPress for over 10 years. I always assumed Woo made their money through extensions alone. What else is Matt hiding in the code? #WordPress

@calebporzio A

Hit me

@enunomaduro Billing by the hour

breaks my heart when i see people not using the `--parallel` flag on pest; why would you want your tests to take longer?

@ThePrimeagen @taylorotwell Your talk was inspiring and it was awesome to meet you in person and shake your hand.

i have been to a ton of conferences in the last year and each one has been so great, but i must say that Laracon was something special. I have never been around so many kind and encouraging people. @taylorotwell you have built something truly special and i am very honored to have been part of Laracon this year

@ThePrimeagen I dunno. I'm pretty used to living indoors.

is your goal to make money at programming? eww, gross do it for the love

flip.it/l5vNaD I can’t think of anyone who wants to be president less than Michelle Obama and that’s why she’d be perfect as president

@UPS Your driver was like a block from my house with my temperature sensitive VISION SAVING MEDICINE that I have to pay $600 for out of pocket and then all of a sudden your driver bailed out of delivering it. Absolute insanity!!! This is the second day in a row you've done this.
