I am a proud father and husband. I am also a Principal and the VP of IT at M. J. Harris Construction Services, LLC.
This year I’ve been been crazy busy, but this summer has been off the hook. 🥵 Completely revamping a .NET webforms app UI with @tailwindcss and @Alpine_JS and built all new components with design pattern inspiration from @laravelphp and @LaravelLivewire. 🤙🏻

Recently listened to @calebporzio’s podcast on getting unstuck. It’s so relatable for me. In coding you can get stuck on issues and ideas amoung other things. Being stuck is frustrating in the moment. However, 9 times out of 10 just stepping away from it is the answer for me.
Recently I’ve been using @laravelphp blade & @tailwindcss component patterns and applying them on a legacy asp.net web forms app. Oh and did I mention I’m also using @Alpine_JS with #select2 on one of the components and everything is working in UpdatePanels 😏
Looking forward to adding this to our apps.

I’d love to see @coinbase add support for inbound $USDC transactions on binance chain. Also interest earning in @CoinbaseWallet for $USDC on binance chain. 🙏🏻
What was are all the cool kids using for mailbox hosting for all their custom domain names these days? I’m wanting to migrate some domains over to @Cloudflare and @laravelforge from an all-in-one hosting company. Any suggestions @MostlyTechPod? 🙏🏻
Heading home and listening to @MostlyTechPod and just saw @noplanstomerge drop. Getting a double dose of @calebporzio this week. 🤙🏻 #Flux 🤔

I forget that sometimes it’s better to just get something done enough to be used, which does not mean it will always be perfect. There is a fine line there.

Hardest part about installing #Laravel Herd was being brave enough to remove all the hacks I had done to get Valet to work on Windows. I’m officially up and running and it feels awesome!

Snagged this selfie with the legendary @mrbrownwhale during the @RealFlokiInu burn event this morning in Valhalla.game. So fun watching this project mature.

Can’t wait to see how the @SpaceX OLM fared after the second starship test this morning. 🤔 The booster RUD was pretty fantastic even though it wasn’t planned. Let’s go for attempt 3! 🤙🏻
Overriding #select2 css with @tailwindcss feels like a super power! This is coming from a novice #tailwindcss user at best. I am sure this could be better, but it works for me. 👌🏼
