I was sick for a couple of days and it set me back on my hours, but being able to open up sqrlly today and have my daily hour goal update automatically based on my monthly goal and the remaining working days is super nice.

Still looking a little crowded but i went back to a searchable select and definitely better. Thanks for the advice Sriram!

Yeah, it does!

Someone said they liked sqrlly, but they didn't use Harvest and would use it if they could add their own time entries...

That's why I'm creating Sqrlly, at any time I can I understand my hourly commitment for the month and know how many hours I have to work each day to meet those commitments.

I'm working on the UI for my new project. Any feedback for me? It's a tool to help manage my hours as a freelancer.

On the left > monthly stats
On the right > month selector, target hours for the month input, and a calendar to select your days not working

Where does one go to walk this many steps?

I'm officially all in on Zed now. No reason to go back.

Vim mode is so 🫦
And everything is so ⚡

Every time I log in to the PHPx discord there are even more cities creating a meetup!

It's pretty awesome to see. I don't think any other tech community has this going for them right now.

PHP is EVERYWHERE

My family is at Costco right now, so I've got the music turned up to 11

What are you listening to today?

My family is out of the house for a few hours so I have the music turned all the way up.

What are you listening to?

Yesterday I deployed a huge new feature. We replaced our legacy search provider with Algolia.

For an e-commerce business, this isn't just a search bar, but also category refinements and search results.

Tons of legacy code removed, client performance improved, and lots of SEO fixes.

And it continues...

I think I'm just going to delete the whole codebase

That's a decent trade off

This is a great point Ben.

One bite at a time.
