One month at Laravel and it's been incredible! 🚀
In Amsterdam hacking away with the team before Laracon EU. The speed at which we ship high-quality features is mindblowing - almost as fast as deploying with #LaravelCloud
😉

This mini-app on Laravel Cloud has already checked over a hundred million Bluesky posts 😮

The last one was by @cboxdk.bsky.social and his first day at Laravel :-)

Joining a team of A-players has been overwhelming (in the best way!)—imposter syndrome definitely hit hard. But I’m ready to embrace the challenge, learn new things, and contribute to work that impacts so many.

Here’s to new beginnings and endless opportunities!

Today marks my first day as a full-time employee at @laravelphp! 🎉 After 3 months of working evenings as a contractor alongside my full-time job, I’m beyond excited to now focus 100% on this incredible journey.

Thank you Duncan. 😀

Thank you Florian. Stocked to be part of it. 😊

Big thanks to TV 2 Regionerne, where I’ve had an incredible journey implementing a new CMS, migrating ~1M videos, and delivering seamless operations.

Now it’s time for new challenges, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to join the Laravel Cloud team! Let’s build something amazing. 💻✨

🚀 Excited to announce that I’m starting a new chapter as Senior Infrastructure Engineer at Laravel!

I’ll be working on building and scaling the infrastructure behind the best hosting platform for Laravel projects, leveraging Kubernetes, AWS, and custom solutions.

Extremely disappointed with #PayPal #Zettle terminals. Second device now, and after sitting unused for a few months, it’s locked because it ran out of power. Support’s solution? A 10% discount on a new one! How can a battery-powered device be designed to brick itself when running out of juice? 🤦‍♂️

I second this 😎

TV 2 Fyn Sammen gør vi Fyn bedre.

🚀 The 5th site is live! 🎉 TV 2 Fyn marks another milestone in the Statamic rollout for TV 2 regions. With 2 sites left, my final weeks will focus on handovers before I wrap up nearly 5 amazing years. Excited for some holiday downtime before starting a new chapter! 🎄

Have a look at Cilium, Hubble, Tetragon, and Falco to see how it’s been implemented in some amazing projects.

Recently, I’ve been deep diving into Kubernetes security and only just discovered eBPF. It’s simply brilliant!

The ability to hook into Linux kernel events opens up incredible possibilities—not just for inspecting network traffic but also for detecting unwanted executions. A true game-changer!

PHP 8.4.0 has just been released! An absolute legend of a language, making life easier every single day. 🐘
