Tis the season to make cutting boards!
A small cutting board made of dark walnut with a stripe of oak with paduak on either side.

Got some good feedback for Industry on Reddit. I'm adding this FAQ section to the readme to address common questions I got. Now to work on caching!

When you look up whether md5 is acceptable for a simple checksum for caching purposes and the very first result talks about how md5 is good for storing sensitive data (it's definitely not)

Working on something today that I've wanted for awhile 👀 [thread]
A Laravel Eloquent factory that uses Industry to get contextual/real looking data from an LLM.

Am I crazy or would something like this be really handy? Thinking about model binding for Livewire components pulling all the columns in those cases where I don't need them all 90% of the time. I know this could be done with a global scope or other workarounds but this feels cleaner
A Laravel Eloquent model called "Flight" with a "columns" property that defines the default columns to select from the DB.

Created a simple breadcrumbs manager that I'm pretty happy with. Might make a small package out of it. I've used diglactic/laravel-breadcrumbs before and I didn't like defining the breadcrumbs separately from my routes.

Not sure @calebporzio.bsky.social would approve of this approach but TIL you can respond with JSON from a Livewire component method.

Just board games, little Christmas decorations for my wife and a bunch of random things I'm finding I can print vs buy so far. I want to get into printing rc planes. Just starting to learn CAD too The print quality is pretty amazing out of the box. You have any projects in mind?

In my experience, the usefulness of an app can generally be measured by the number of spreadsheets it replaces. For example, Bluesky replaces the google sheet I share with my friends & family where I put my hot takes on tech
