music feeds the soul that we need now just gonna make this an ongoing thread of covers because I feel like it and because editing this thing I'm editing is tedious

Please don't be Atlantis, please don't be Atlantis...

hell yeah, I've been using PocketBase as a personal knowledge base and love building with it. I'm hoping to learn to build some extensions to pull in vector, nlp, textrank, etc..

I know it is a somber morning (as it should be), but today is also Rome’s legendary birthday: April 21, 753 BCE. 🐺

Thought of a way to use Fragments Engine to tag songs with my mental mode and some context and other things and then use Recall to create a playlist to match my current mode on the fly, the music I'm listening to would adapt in real time. This is what unbridled imagination looks like.

I think I'm migrating to Go 60%, PHP 40%. I still can't deal with npm and pyenv. Maybe a little Rust and Kotlin. #go #php

Crazy. I converted a Zombie fight game in 9 minutes to a Desktop app. #laravel #php

I have been enjoying Nuno's recent live youtube/twitch streams. He's got a friendly, great personality and takes his time exploring things, doesn't pretend to know everything, and seems to have fun doing it. #laravel #php #ai

Just published a new video where I tried out Typesense — seriously blown away by how fast and smooth the search is. And yeah, it’s free and open-source. Kinda wild. youtu.be/Dnovj-DR_tY

Post-Process Query Results Elegantly with Laravel's afterQuery Method

This is the real secret of life -- to be completely engaged with what you are doing in the here and now. And instead of calling it work, realize it is play. #alanwatts #aliens #now

If you have never read the Epic of Gilgamesh, here's a link to an open access edition! I would also highly recommend (one of the few books I've ever read more than twice) the translation and essays by @sophushelle.bsky.social

something something ... it's got what plant's crave.

Ancient archaeologists find a clearer version of the bible text. #elon #hittite #musk

Leveled Up! Blockchain :check: Game :check: AI :check: and no one else wants to talk about it. haha. #ai #dev #blockchain #ai

Enheduanna from Gemini Flash.

@augmentcode.com It looks like you are paying Google Ads for the phrase "Aider AI" a competing product. #ai #aider #code Aider is free. That's pretty dirty.

Highly recommend learning to play Senet. It's a surprisingly fun and strategic game.

Great to see. Anytime I mention #ai in the #laravel discord, it's like a bad time on stage with medieval villagers and rotten tomatoes.

Pocketbase Blueprint: This was a FUN project. I built a Pocketbase (go) tool. It can read your laravel blueprint draft.yml files, which is a fantastic way to define your project, and migrate your models and fields to Pocketbase collections. #pocketbase #go #laravel #blueprint

Ok I prototyped and played Morning Routine for the first time this weekend, and I'm optimistic. It's a silly, social card game that takes 15 minutes. Small enough that it could retail for $15. Simple enough that an 8 year old could play with their grandparents. It's fun and it makes me laugh.

Well then, let's take a look. Shall we? #php #stdlib #laravel #symfony

A new tool to help build custom documentation, especially for AI use, `repomix` has become one of my most used tools as a developer. #ai #rag #docs #repomix

Once again loving this interpretation of Caesar’s last words #IdesofMarch 🗡️

My availability is still limited. My favorite projects are modernizing legacy apps. I love fixing and updating old projects. If you've got something like that, I may be interested in helping. #php #laravel #symfony #go #mysql #postgresql #ai. 🚀 🪐

if i see one more `pip install` i'm going to... do something.

#epicurus The only time you look in your neighbor's bowl is to make sure that they have enough. You don't look in your neighbor's bowl to see if you have as much as them.

Goravel: A Go framework inspired by Laravel https://www.goravel.dev/ (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43306797)

If you find yourself worrying a lot lately, instead of saying “what if” switch it to “even if” and gain back your autonomy and power.

I wanted something like Jupyter for PHP, blending together Markdown notes with interactive code blocks. So I hacked this together last night 🔨 If there's any interest, let me know and I'll continue to a polished release! Goal is to include both PHP + JS(X)

Word of the day is ‘lickspittle’ (17th century): a person who fawns upon someone in power for personal gain.

Testing Claude Code and it's pretty amazing with Sonnet 3.7. Well done #anthropic. I wanted to build a tool that reads local files and with the help of a LLM, classify which category directories in my GaryDecimalSystem that it belongs to.

Genetically altered 'woolly mice' express several mammoth-like traits, including the animal's iconic coat. The cuteness, meanwhile, is a complete coincidence. That and more of the best in @science.org and science in this edition of #ScienceAdviser: www.science.org/content/arti... 🧪

I see I have enough followers now where if random people think they yell at me and swear at me, the world will change. I have news for you: I am a tired mom who works at a public university with limited power in my field. Please call your congresspeople and volunteer vocally instead.

Monday was fun: - Launched 3.7 Sonnet - Wife started at AWS, first job in 10y, since moving to US - Son's birthday

Bricks from ancient Mesopotamia may seem boring, but there is more to them than mud and straw. A short thread on some fun facts about bricks in ancient Mesopotamia from my book, Between Two Rivers.
