There’s something so refreshing about working with people that share the same passions as you. I still can’t believe I get paid to build stuff with Laravel alongside some of the smartest devs I’ve ever worked with @givebutter. Laravel to the freakin’ moon 🚀

It’s weird how controversial clean code has become. I get a lot of tech bros are just feature factories with fingers and ergo keyboards, but having maintained codebases born in the same decade as me has absolutely SRP-pilled me. SOLID/CUPID still belong in software today.

“I love Jira. Stand ups should be no less than 45 minutes and we should parking lot every single item talked about. XML is the only way configuration should be defined. Everything after jQuery was a mistake.”

Oh my god… Livewire colocation bringing back the Angular 2 circa 2016 vibes is all I’ve ever wanted. I’m converted.

My timeline for the last three months: “Just shipped my JS app! All it took was a meta framework on top of a framework, 7 AWS startup wrapper services, 2 ChatGPT wrapper services, and I only pay $900/month in hosting for my 100 users!” Damn JS devs… y’all live like this?

“Make sure you call the abstract factory logger builder factory to get a logging context, then call the proxy facade factory factory to queue messages with the factory builder logger message abstract builder factory. We love DDD! Dr. Bob is our deity we pray to.”

I can’t tell if the “pack it up, it’s over” on LinkedIn about vibe coding are real or not, and at this point I’m too afraid to ask.

I feel like a sham getting paid to write .NET while all I can think about is Laravel. 😅

Having had to build this type of component from scratch back in the early Angular 2 days, I’m forever grateful to shadcn giving us a whole gosh darn functional calendar. For free. And it just works. This is awesome. 👏🏼

Sometimes I build things and I have no idea why. So, here’s an alternative to the docs artisan command that no one asked for. Full-text search Laravel docs right in your terminal! github.com/JoeyMckenzie/a…

Quick update on @laravelphp starter kits 😊 We've noticed a few warnings/errors when you try to utilize SSR (inertiajs.com/server-side-re…) with the Inertia starter kits. We should have an update/fix for this out very soon. @_joeyMcKenzie thanks for all your help with this so far 👏
