They could make an episode of Modern Marvels about my son’s process of eating all the applesauce off his toast without eating any toast

Also as a metalhead I gotta say this instrumental metal soundtrack that’s been playing all over the venue is epic 🀘

Today, I’m extremely excited to introduce @litebase.com! Something I've been working on for a while that I'm proud to ship. Following along as I build a new type of database.

I met so many awesome people at Laracon today. Some that I knew from the internet, and some total strangers. I’m forcing myself to say hi to as many people as I can and it’s been great! So glad I came

The more places I travel, the more I understand why people always mention how many trees Atlanta has when they fly in. So many desert-y climates!

I watched The Dark Knight on my flight to Denver and the end credits literally started 1 second before the wheels hit the ground. Very satisfying start to the trip #LaraconUS

Wow I just stumbled on this page while doing some support on a Github issue. The Obsidian plugin I wrote for writing your own custom js scripts for your notes has 46k downloads! I don't even use Obsidian anymore but pretty cool πŸ˜‚

Grouping is the one thing the Tailwind clones had that I was always jealous of

The updates to the contributor guide look great! It looks simpler to setup and run tests etc now too. Nice work!

So in this example you still have a server (or vapor) running the PHP side, and then a separate request is made to do the SSR on a worker? Am I understanding correctly? Interesting idea! Thanks for the article.

Update: PHPxATL this Wednesday is CANCELLED. RSVPs are unusually low for this meetup (possibly due to Laracon in a couple weeks) so we are going to cancel this one and regroup in September. Apologies for the short notice and we’re looking forward to seeing you again soon!

class UpdateBucketRequest extends FormRequest
{
    /**
     * Determine if the user is authorized to make this request.
     */
    public function authorize(): bool
    {
        return Auth::user()->can('view', $this->bucket);
    }
}

class UpdateBucketRequest extends FormRequest { /** * Determine if the user is authorized to make this request. */ public function authorize(): bool { return Auth::user()->can('view', $this->bucket); } }

So tonight I discovered I can directly access route model bindings inside a FormRequest, but it feels sort of icky since the FormRequest doesn't necessarily *know* it's being called from a route that has the model bound.

what do you do in this situation? πŸ€”

Any plans to move into the UI space and render some native widgets? Like something similar to Hotwire native in Rails
