BBC basically sitting unchallenged on Christmas Day, absolutely owning it. The politicians who like to speak about how irrelevant it is in an age of Netflix might want to take a moment to reflect.

This is my favourite thread
Come on #teampapaya. Well deserved. #f1

It was a pleasure working with their talented team and finding out ways to help tell this story.
Even if this felt like a good future to me (it doesn’t), I don’t think I trust that team to deliver and continue without having their heads turned by a new thing a year later.
A collage of the Mutual team at their Winter meet up 2024
This weekend (most of) the Mutual team met up in London for our winter meetup. We had a great time at Gravity Max with lots of food, slushies, making fools of ourselves on the interactive floor, arcade games, and minigolf. #remote #agency #culture
Is there anything more satisfying than emptying the tank after shampooing a carpet? Maybe jet-washing the patio. But they're both top-tier-satisfaction.
That seems very clear to me
It does require a certain way of thinking, for sure.
One thing I like is the ability to change the deployment script. So you can make it run `php craft up` on deploy, and have it run any migrations and project config changes automatically, which is elegant.
Others probably let you do the same!
Traffic from Bluesky's @bsky.app to @theguardian.com is already 2x that of Threads
In its first week on the platform & with 300k followers, Bluesky traffic from @theguardian.com posts is already higher than it was from TwX in any week in 2024, where the account had 10.8m followers, but🧵
Laravel Forge is great for managing DO droplets and setting Craft up on them. Don’t let the Laravel name fool you, it isn’t exclusive to Laravel powered apps 👍
Upgraded a site to #tailwind 4 beta (not prod) and the upgrade script made it pretty effortless. So far, so good. My only hesitation is if the CSS config approach might have non-obvious limitations down the road.
Good to see you here @1stevengrant.bsky.social
Got a PC monitor on Black Friday to play #ps5 and it turns out you can play a lot better when you can actually see the game!
I’ve really enjoyed using it so far. It seems really elegant and got out of the way. Paring it with Bun seems especially speedy.
I work from a conservatory (with a bit of insulation) and I am feeling all kinds of gwenders today.
#craftcms is a great way to go. An active community, rich plugins (but less reliance on them) and a far more modern codebase. It’s commercial, but in our experience the cost of the license was less in hourly rate than fighting silly issues with WP and similar.
Spending hours with ChatGPT can save you minutes of reading the documentation.
I realise I didn’t explain “why?” About running it in a deployment script.
1. It reduces the risk of human error of forgetting to apply changes
2. Running it in script is less likely to time out than running it through apache or nginx which might have higher execution timeouts
Ideally you’d not use those and have “php craft project-config/apply” in your deployment scripts. But generally “apply changes” is what you want.
CC @craftcms.com as I’m sure they’re interested in this for optimisation.

My response are listening to a case study who's finances were wrecked by this.

Another house viewing cancelled.
The housing market seems so weak at the moment and people don’t seem to be serious.
The dream of moving before the wean arrives is pretty much over now 😬
To add to this, consider staging/production to be sacred environments where CMS setup is locked. A golden rule with Craft is to only tweak CMS in dev environment. If you work in a team then little and often works best to make merges nicer.
Does every website really need to use React just to show some static data? @jason.energy thinks we've made web development unnecessarily complex.

Ooo I like the green. I went for the yellow.
