Meh, who cares. You gotta save some money on the conference budget somewhere right?

Hey! I just came on because I’ve had a few people reach out and ask.

1) I’m not going to Laracon, nor will I be going again.

2) no I’m not shooting Laracon, Hank told me he can find someone to do it for a fraction of the cost.

🥷📸✌️

True but alas I’m now “too expensive” for Laravel so I’ve decided to close that chapter.

Wish them the best finding someone that gives a shit as much as I used to. 🫡

Academy City Sports | Every Athlete Has a Story We shine a light on the dedication, passion, and triumph of amateur athletes. These are the stories that inspire.

This is exactly what I wanted to do as well it’s why I created my own “publication” so I have a good excuse to shoot more and write more.

A look into what I’ve been up to this past month.

Going back to what I love and dreamed of doing leaving high school.

No more boring conferences photos for this guy ⚽️📸🥷

It’s been one of the most productive and happy stretches of weeks I’ve had in years.

I’ve completely ditched twitter and stopped being the sole maintainer of what I thought were friendships is the most freeing and mentally healthy things I’ve ever done.

Highly recommend it. 🥒💅🏻

This mornings walk was incredible

Hahahah we have the same chance of snow as Seattle. That said an inch of snow would do nothing here.

Ya my part of Canada is. Eastern Canada got the epic snow while we had sun 😂

Probably not tbh. In Vancouver we don’t actually get snow and when we do, it’s not pretty.

Hi, Canadian here.

I don’t have ice or snow here so can’t really related.

Thanks

Statamic 6 is here! 🚀

A redesigned Control Panel, a modern Vue 3 + Inertia foundation, a new UI component library, a long list of architectural & performance improvements, and that's just scratching the surface.

This is a new beginning, ready for what comes next. ❤️

I think someone needs to validate that there’s only one of you because it’s insane how much you get done.

When?

I live in a fantasy land I think. Sometimes it’s just so surreal.

When.

How I feel right now having listened to Taylor talking about the #Laravel AI package coming soon.

The more non technical people build apps with AI the more skilled developer work is created.

Embrace the change and challenges of this new paradigm.

I got a week’s worth of work done in a single day yesterday. How can you be bullish on AI?

Sales and orders now complete.

There’s just no stopping me anymore.

The iOS mobile app (swift/native) for @50sq.bsky.social is coming along so well. I’m so happy and excited to get this done and out.

I know the feeling

I just finished up a call with someone who had vibe-coded an error into a revenue-generating application that cost the company 6 figures in (fortunately recoverable) lost revenue. It's recoverable because two developers with a combined 40 years of experience managed to unwind the problem.

@zuzana-k.com ask Leah why she was against feeding the poor seagulls the fries she wasn’t going to eat!

Christmas Day trying out the new jersey ❤️

Sadly Pedro is in Porto so I’m not. 😅

Wow what an achievement. I hear he’s the best in history playing Sunday games that start at 3:30PM as well. What a beast

What I loved in NYC is the people with umbrellas would force/push you towards to part of the sidewalk that didn’t have the awnings/cover so they can be “extra dry”

Happy productive Friday!

I made more progress on my Lightroom Classic plugin for @50sq.bsky.social

Wanted to give you all a quick peek of how it works. This is such a game changer for me!

Let me know what you think!
