It’s been a year today since I walked on stage at @laracon.au 2024 and opened up about my experiences with depression and anxiety. Mental health should be talked about. And with 2025’s conference just days away, a reminder to be aware of those around you who feel invisible. youtu.be/0kwNx93aha0

RIP Pandora... 😢 I don't know what it is but that thing just nailed it at finding stuff I liked in a way that Spotify never seems to have managed

You mean the "get really big while freight training through billions in venture capital, then spend the next few years trying to milk your users dry to get your shareholders some return on investment" strategy is somehow flawed? Colour me shocked 😂

Seriously considering CDK for Terraform to escape the syntax gymnastics of vanilla TF... 🤸🏻‍♂️ Anyone given it a go already?

Just realised the only Microsoft product I've used regularly in the last 5 years is VSCode... And I stopped using that over a year ago 🤔

That's rough man 😞, sorry to hear it. Although have you noticed how they'll often have a really difficult spell for a few days, and then all of a sudden everything is fine and they can do 5 new things? Kids are amazing ♥️

A few days ago I fired up Laravel new with my Dad, and in ~45 minutes explained what it does by making a simple to-do app with Breeze/Filament. Yesterday in literally 5 minutes we had it deploying on push to Laravel Cloud, with a postgres DB... This is next level accessible 🤯
