Anyone using shoelace.style? I'm working on a UI for a #Laravel package and I like the idea of a non-Vue, non-React frontend using web components and maybe alpine.js and Tailwind.

If you have a lovingly crafted Laravel app that you’ve either balked at launching or are having trouble getting traction on, I want 30 minutes of your time. Hit me up in the DMs.

Dropping some invites to io.rsvp/home this week. I guess it’s fairly specialised, but if you’d like a play, drop your email in!

I convinced my wife to join me on a Season 1 re-watch. I can't wait for season 2. Especially love that they are releasing like 3 episodes per week... #andor www.youtube.com/watch?v=duN-...

I'm looking for my next thing, and I need to move fast. I have several years of experience in developer relations from startups to the enterprise, and I'm particularly skilled at distilling complex topics into something easily understood by newbies and non-technical folks alike, on stage or off. 1/3

Folks, i'm a web developer who is badly in need of work. Full-stack, mostly PHP on the back end (Craft CMS, ExpressionEngine, Laravel, WordPress). Very nitpicky about markup and accessibility. Passionate about database schema design. Remote only, but freelance or regular employment are both fine!

I find most of my time spent in the early/planning parts of a #Laravel project is spent figuring out ways to *NOT* be clever. Some time spent RTFM -- occasionally jumping into the api docs -- and I'll eventually find there is a simple and elegant solution hiding in plain sight.

Do I have to learn React? I feel like I'm going to move from Vue to React and Lucy's going to pull the football away again... I like Vue. It's fine.

Man I hate when the perp says "you have no proof" when the detective is arresting them/monologging.

I've got a few hours per month of web development contract/retainer availability for anyone looking for support or maintenance on their sites (WordPress, Laravel, most other PHP frameworks) Get in touch if you need any assistance with that side of things!

@joe.codes last year I bought the Boston PHP X domain with the best of intentions of getting that rolling but shit has hit the fan time wise for me. If you happen to hear about anyone who would make that work send them my way.

Does anyone I know work with Hashicorp's Vault? We're running into a serious issue and could use an expert for a second set of eyes

Two bits of advice: 1. Get your financial house in order before you have kids. It is hard to spend as much time with your kids as you want AND build financial security. 2. Don't wait until you have your financial house in order before you have kids. They are great. You'll figure the rest out.
