One of those annoying problems i've encountered is how to dynamically load Vue components, but avoiding having to essentially eager load everything upfront. Welp, after a long weekend, 10ish hours 😅, 4,545 browser tabs and dozens of chats with AI, I finally cracked the riddle.

It’s funny to think how the internet is the Wild West, and as software developers we play cat and mouse with people trying to hack or DDoS our apps pretty much 24/7/365. Sure, some of it is easily blocked, but sometimes it is sophisticated, and blocking whole countries is an ok solution.

Well played, Steve Thomas

Outrageous!

Hello, Bluesky!👋 We are finally here! Get ready for some amazing giveaways, announcements and general good vibes. Larabelles rock 💪 🔥. Check out our website and sign up to our newsletter if you haven't already done so. A new issue will be going out later this week, don't miss out! larabelles.com

Inspired by @justinjackson.ca’s Laravel starter pack, I’ve thrown together one of Australian Laravel folks! Keep in touch with some local people sharing your affinity for the Laravel framework, between Laracons. Missed people? Let me know! go.bsky.app/NNFmHx1

TIL that people live stream on IG / TikTok holding up products and saying “this one is 5 bucks”, then someone comments “buy” and then the streamer sends a PayPal link to the buyer. And this actually works and takes market share from established ecommerce sites. Frankly I’m impressed 🤯

Annual “holy shit it’s December” moment is currently underway. Equal parts panic (about the various 2023 wip items that I want to tick off) and opportunity (what do I need to fix for 2025 and let’s do that now). In other words, starting a new list before I finish the old list 😂

Climbed a hill, saw a snake. 10/10 would recommend

Introduce yourself with four video games.

I put together a little starter pack for Australian / Australia-based Laravel developers. Who's missing? go.bsky.app/NhZesH6

Nice to see Bluesky at #3 and X at #74 for top free apps in Australia! Of course a gambling app sits at #2 😂 With events like Laracon putting Bluesky on people’s radar, here’s hoping to see more AU developers here 🤞
