๐Ÿ˜ฎ Iโ€™ve still not been fortunate enough to experience a parmo. I have often contemplated whether the 10 hour round trip to Boro is worth the trip though.

Whatโ€™s in the mega fat bastard nosebag takeaway meal deal? I feel like you north easterners do dirty takeaway better than most. Certainly better than we get in the south west

So sorry Evan. I feel weโ€™re so close to losing our boy and itโ€™s going to break me. No words can help I know, but remember how much he was loved and how much he loved you. โค๏ธ

Just time to learn how to use NativePHP ๐Ÿ™„ weโ€™ve been talking about it this week though

Agreed, weโ€™ve just done the same. Smiled ear to ear throughout every episode, beautiful stuff โค๏ธ

The fight videos ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ relentlessly on my feed before I left. I feel like the first time youโ€™re served one youโ€™re like WTF and pause for a few seconds and they take that as a marker to just keep on piling them in your direction.

I mean generally yes, but what about when you have soft deletes? Surely deleted_at HAS to go at the end?

My experience of flux so far would suggest you lean towards the single modal just for performance purposes. Not hating here, I like flux a lot, but Iโ€™ve definitely noticed a lot of components having an impact on load times

Maybe you need to go less niche to get it off the ground? Creators in other languages must still share the same issues. Also maybe opens doors to some different collaborative content, like working with someone where they build the front end and you do Laravel backend?

Personally Iโ€™d suck up the extra cost and go for the Pro. I got nearly a decade out of the MBP I had before my M4 because I just bought a little bit more spec than I needed.

Iโ€™m hoping that same tactic plays out this time. And the M4 doesnโ€™t even break sweat with the stuff Iโ€™m asking it to do now

Lots of internet drama in Laravel community this week. Lifeโ€™s far too short to care what other people think of your tech stack.

If your clients are happy, and youโ€™re happy, the rest is just noise.

Why is it that sometimes your brain just doesnโ€™t tell you to check the fundamental things?

I definitely agree with the sentiment of this post. At the very least there should be a โ€œI donโ€™t want thisโ€ option in all these new implementations that stops it and then doesnโ€™t aggressively try to get you to change your mind ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

On the terminal thing though, I love Warpโ€™s ai suggestions ๐Ÿ˜‚

Thanks. Will put a version online and share it with you once Iโ€™ve got it a little more polished

Bit more of a play with @imglab.bsky.social tonight.

Already switched out all the images on the Saint website to use this (page insight results were ๐Ÿš€), and so been making a little Laravel Livewire tool so that I have a bit of a UI to change settings and get relevant URL.

Bit of fun to end the day

Sounds good. Iโ€™ve signed up. Looking forward to it

Whatโ€™s the format? As in will you be working on something specific at these times? Or do you have a list of things to pair on?

Really interesting read Marc. Food for thought ๐Ÿ‘

For the record, I definitely think youโ€™ve made the best Laravel CMS.

Really starting to get into the swing of combining Statamic stuff with bespoke Laravel and that gives you some serious power under the hood.

Iโ€™m here for the ride ๐Ÿ™Œ

Iโ€™ve been looking at this a little recently for an upcoming project, also for a non profit, and Iโ€™ve so far not turned up much thatโ€™s less than 3p a text ๐Ÿ™„

I will let you know if I find anything
