This was a really strong message sent to everyone!
The challenge: we must ship. That goes for all of us. What will you ship between now and @LaraconUS (July 29)? ⛰️ Big or small, we believe in you and hope Laravel Cloud will help. 🚀 Start shipping on February 24th
What sign is giving away that a developer (or someone that writes text) is getting older? Suddenly realizing that increasing font size to 16, 18 or even more - feels better! (Happened to my wife now, I am already on 18 for a long time 😅)
TIL: Create empty closure routes when you need to add it to the Blade file, but you are not yet ready to implement the Controller itself:

“Tool ABC is amazing. Nothing is even close” - Person who ONLY used that tool their whole life.
"Tool XYZ is crap". - Person who has never ACTUALLY tried that tool for more than 5 minutes
How to spot DDoS attack using Laravel Nightwatch? Just by seeing this (0.1 sampling rate): Thankfully other measures exist to prevent that, but that's another thing the dashboard gives you

I couldn't agree more! Learning takes time. You need to understand what you are trying to learn. But with shorts and quick answers, you do things in YOLO mode. You might not know what will happen if you step to the left. Quote taken from youtube.com/live/3b0ty1iZ8… chat :)

Under all the @nativephp goodness is till our beloved @laravelphp application! Great job @simonhamp and @ShaneDRosenthal !
Did you get a NativePHP sticker, shirt or cap? Post a pic and tag us for a surprise! Didn't manage to get any merch from us at @LaravelLiveUK ? We'll be at @LaraconUS and @laravellivedk in July and August, so there are plenty more opportunities to grab some swag 😎
What a blast at @LaravelLiveUK !!! Had a great time, chatted with great people! Love the community and the energy it has!
Working with AI feels different. Sure, you code... But that's just a small part of it! Mainly, it's reviews. You don't just think about the functionality, but also review what the AI did and check if it makes sense. This process repeats with each prompt 😅

First attempt at making videos, and it may or may not have mistakes 😅 But the important thing was that I enjoyed the process and reviewing @nativephp as a tool. I can't wait to see it grow and evolve!
New video that people were actively asking for! @nativephp for Mobile: Demo Laravel Project youtube.com/watch?v=NBNYJs… So we've made a video/course on Flutter, then React Native, so NativePHP is a natural "continuation". Also: my teammate @ModestasMV is making a video debut! :)
With AI coding, you have to choose: - Do a lot of things at once - Do the things right I'm not talking about the risk of things breaking, but also your mental capacity. Remember, you (hopefully!!!) review all the code and only then accept it. That's like reviewing a PR all day!
So this has happened... Trying to record the first video, and well, it's not smooth :) There have been camera issues, noise issues (thank you for mowing the grass outside!), and tool crashes. Thankfully, found a way to access the recording - but it was scary 😱

Testing Laravel 12 starter kits: My first impression - they are awesome! Digging a bit deeper, there is some interesting stuff and some small issues, but overall, it was a great release! Can't wait to use them 💪
New stuff is coming, but we still have to cover each other! 😅
While I'm out sick, Laravel Daily teammates are busy working on these topics: 1. New Laravel 11/12 versions for older Flutter + Laravel and Laravel Queues courses 2. PostgreSQL in Laravel: researching the angle of video/course All coming in end-Feb/March, with Laravel 12 news!
