It started with a single photo at Laracon.

Then the stickers.
Then the movement.

I had the opportunity to chat with @asgrim.dev yesterday about PHP Pie - the new installer for PHP extensions, intended to replace PECL.

Full interview dropping tomorrow.

I just learned about this way of filtering dates using Fathom Analytics, which blew my mind. 🤯 It's probably been this way forever, but I never knew! 😅
