Okay, so I'm pretty sure I've found the best way in the world to create dynamic Open Graph images! And I've turned it into a little product that I'd love to show you 🤩

Check out this quick video tour of Ogkit.dev to see how it works 👇

My personal rules for surviving Ikea:

1. Never buy the cheapest option. Even if on a tight budget, buy the *second* cheapest

2. Once you’ve left a floor, there is no going back

3. Never impulse buy something in the Self-Service warehouse

4. The cinnamon rolls smell a lot better than they taste

And what a journey that was... Here's a few words on the process I went through

Building a Jeopardy Game for Laravel Live Denmark - Geocodio

A crazy idea that turned into a fun mashup of software and hardware...and all of it with Laravel

For @laravellive.dk I had this crazy idea to build and host a full-blown Jeopardy game with physical buzzers and all. Of course 100% built with Laravel.

It's quite embarrassing to still have such a stale library lurking in the docs... but on the other hand, the library still works 100% with many of the newest Geocodio features, which really just shows how committed we are to keeping our API stable and backwards compatible.

We just removed code examples from our docs for a third-party Geocodio library that hasn't been updated in 10 years(!). We now only show code examples for our first-party libraries.

I'm on a 9 hr plane ride and I'm bored, so here's a thread about product management as different forms of government

Product strategy is no place for democracy 🎤

Now building a Docker image with external dependencies... That's a different story. I think I'll just push my changes and let the CI decide if I got my linter issues fixed or not :)

I'm happy to report that Claude Code works exceedingly well on plane WiFi.

I wasn't sure how much data it was pushing back and forth, but it's surprisingly smooth!

It’s been a minute since Laracon 2017 😀

Michele Hansen @mjwhansen.com · Jul 26

8 years ago today!! And now we’re sitting on the plane on our way to Laracon again 🥺🥺

Mathias Hansen @codemonkey.io · Jul 26

It’s Laracon time! @mjwhansen.com and I are officially on the way to Denver.

Looking forward to seeing you all soon. Don’t forget to swing by the @geocod.io booth

Ooooh! Looking forward to that. We use SQLite a lot.

Mathias Hansen @codemonkey.io · Jul 21

Nice! What are you writing docs for?

Mathias Hansen @codemonkey.io · Jul 20

Preparing the last few bits for Laracon. This is going to be good!

What are you wrapping up before Laracon?

I hate how much I love being complimented by Claude Code when it reviews my PRs

"The changes are low-risk, technically sound, and enhance both the logical structure and user experience of the documentation."

Everybody has a box of cables (according to @mjwhansen.com)

Today it saved the day. Lost internet this morning, and walked in to see the router looking decisively unwell. Quick internet search says bad power supply.

Go to the box o’ cables and fetch a matching power supply. The internet is back!

Not sure which features to prioritize? Want to understand your customers better so you know exactly *what* to build?

It’s WILD that Michele is running a $5 sale. What a steal!

Michele Hansen @mjwhansen.com · Jun 9

Deploy Empathy is only 24 copies from selling 5,000 copies, which is absolutely WILD

...so the Kindle version is now on sale for $ | £ | € 5.00 to get it over the line

It’s a slippery slope lol. You can just start using it via the API and then slowly make your way up the plan ladder as the need arises. I just had to switch to the 20x Max plan today because of very high usage.

They're on 🔥 over at Anthropic these days. I'm pretty consistently working on 3-4 different projects concurrently these days purely because of Claude code. I think my record so far is 5 concurrent Claude Code sessions 😂

Absolutely loving the new "plan mode" in Claude Code. Makes it much easier to build out an architecture/strategy before jumping into the implementation phase.
