Kuztek - How I ended up building a Laravel Hybridly site for a year - Work Journal July 11, 2025 2024 began with a plan to dive into Statamic sites and turned into a complex Laravel Hybridly project that became one of my most challenging and rewarding builds.

Blogged about some of my work from the last year or so: kuztek.com/blog/laravel...

My mother suggested some of her pecan pie as lunch, wasn't gonna say no.

Thursday: where I spent 40 minutes on a video call with my dad to try and troubleshoot minivan troubles only to figure out that my wife's key was missing the small electronic chip so the immobilizer was kicking in. Yay!

It's that time of year where you can't help but listen to Snow by @sleepingatlast1.bsky.social and be grateful for all of life's blessings and challenges.

Yeah, I was more of a Newsboys stan myself.

Figma to Tailwind and Alpine.js work for a custom WordPress plugin today.

Just another Thursday up here in Canada so living in @vuejs.org and Hybridly land today.

3. Mostly classic, but once in a while I have to mess with site editing

Today we are going to do some find and replaces for the pmxi_posts.unique_key values of WP All Import so that we can run a new import spreadsheet without breaking the relationship between existing users and the post types we are importing.

Probably 3 where the party was a McDonalds party, likely a few others where we just ate at a McDonalds later.

Definitely had one in the train car that was at Lougheed and Boundary McDonalds.

You wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they raised me.

Ball hockey, parkour, ultimate frisbee, bouldering. I don't enjoy running or working out but those things are fun.

Had sites on Geocities and Angelfire that shared animated gifs I found elsewhere. Then used Frontpage express before getting Dreamweaver.

Seems like you had a worthwhile commute.

I used something like this to record the new songs debuting on the radio when I was a kid.

Spent this morning working on a big Laravel Hybridly project and then in the afternoon switched over to a custom WordPress plugin that uses tailwind, alpinejs and blade templates.

@jchristopher.bsky.social pretty sure I searched for you today or yesterday and couldn't find you.

I head upstairs to see how the boys are brushing their teeth before school and find this.

Cat with its eyes closed.

Good morning.
