Not bad for a little side project 🙃

This is a screenshot showing the output of the PHP artisan test command. It shows 390 passed and eight skipped tests, with 1756 assertions, ran in 14..64 seconds.

implemented syntax highlighting for better code readability. Also, added keyboard shortcuts for navigating through the solution code and repositioning the window

the app is hidden from screen recording applications. I disabled that config to be able to record this

Built a shitty version of interviewcoder.co in about 1 and a half hours using AI. I never touched Electron before. Next up: figuring out code highlighting and key bindings for solution scrolling.

I'm so excited to share a stealth project I've been working on: Laravel Up and Running, the audio book.

People thought I was crazy to narrate a code-heavy programming book, but I think we've done an incredible job; take a listen to our sample to see!

I'm working with the PHP Foundation to create a new page on the PHP site: "Why use PHP today?"

I'd love your input on who needs this page, and what they need to hear:

Having access to supervisor logs or something would be a huge help on debugging this

I deployed an app to cloud and encountered an issue where horizon was always inactive, no jobs were ever processed. The same setup runs smoothly on Forge. I couldn’t figure out the root cause, especially since horizon works perfectly when I set it up on a fresh Laravel install.

Thinking about hiring a part-time video editor. Tasks: edit 4-12 min highlight videos from daily VODs, create 1+ shorts (30-60s), and design thumbnails. Consistent work every weekday. If interested, DM! 🐘

This sentiment from @jamesclear.bsky.social feels true:

"Bad things happen loudly: the injury, the flat tire, the mistake that gets you criticized.

Good things happen quietly: the completed workout, the healthy meal, the ten minutes of writing. Nobody talks about the little moments that add up."
