Is AI at NFT levels of disdain yet?

I’ll be in London from around 4pm tomorrow for Laravel Live UK if anyone wants to hang out?

I’ve been quiet on here, mostly been tinkering with Arduino and 3D printing to make sim racing gadgets like this.

I think my all time favourite of recent is Arr::sole(), probably have to be British to appreciate that though (maybe).

You didn't factor in the fact that you can turn the t-shirt inside out and have a new one for another 10-12 days.

I may have just purchased a 3D printer, I have a business idea but know nothing about 3D printing, let’s go 😀

Pretty happy with the first pass of Shale, just need to build on the AWS Bedrock concepts a little more, however adding additional models is really easy now. github.com/shale-php/sh... #Laravel #AI

Code snippet of how to use Shale package for Laravel

Absolutely love this!

Built my weekend project, my back hurts too much to race now.

Started working on a Laravel package last night to interact with AWS Bedrock (AI with loads of models to choose from) in the usual Laravel way. #Laravel

Just to add, when you pick one, let me know, I can point you to a tonne of great learning resources for both. (paid and free)

The Rust Programming Language - The Rust Programming Language

the best book I have read, and best of all FREE. For pure fun, I loved Rust, but honestly I don't think there is a "Wrong" decision here. doc.rust-lang.org/book/

doc.rust-lang.org

by Steve Klabnik, Carol Nichols, and Chris Krycho, with contributions from the Rust Community

That's just the "Go way" of doing things, for me, Go is great for little http handlers and API stuff, but for me personally, not full scale web apps (subjective). Rust on the other hand, seems to have a lot less opportunities but is just a shit tonne of fun to learn, "The rust book" is probably

100

However, I see people building full web apps in Go which I just wouldn't do myself since Laravel is so easy and clean. In go you'll find yourself writing this sort of thing a LOT. f, err := os.Open("filename.txt") if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } At first this feels really icky, however

As shit as this sounds, "it depends" If I were wanting to do something useful in my current situation that could complement what I already know then I would say Go. Go has a lot of http integration by default, and is really nice out of the box, plus there are a lot more opportunities for it.

100

I learnt both, and both are very fun, I preferred rust I think, the borrow checker is a very different concept but quite simple after using it for a while. That being said, I found generics in go a lot of fun too 😂

So far, PostgreSQL is just MySQL with some nice bells and whistles, I like it

020

bagwaa @bagwaa.dev · 11/03/2025

Okay, FINE! I’ll learn PostgreSQL 😂

Good to know, and I imagine way faster than my intel cpu

I used to have thighs and knees, now I just have charred stumps.

Need to upgrade my 2019 16 inch MacBook Pro, should I go to the MacBook Pro with the M4 chip or maybe the MacBook Air? Or something else? Guess all I need to run is docker, PHPstorm etc

Big spreading fan here 😂🤪

I’m a spreader - not gonna lie, I never expected to say that during my lifetime.

Created 85 slides to convince people that testing is worth doing in a talk I am giving in a few weeks. Kinda hope it's enough, it should be ... probably ...

If you use a spell checker all the time does it mean you’re no longer learning new spellings since you don’t internalise the correction?

When you're married to someone named Jason, this happens A LOT.

I introduced someone to the service container in Laravel along with service providers today, they were blown away. Reminded me of how I felt when I learnt about those things for the first time.

Did anyone mention PHP generators and lazy collections here? No more memory issues
