I had a great time at @laracon.au New memories and experiences unlocked. Learning from both the presentations and the conversations with new and old friends. Thanks for having me. We all definitely levelled up

Working on my son's first birthday present. I may have gone overboard for a baby present but I'm excited about it

I feel you. I edited the toolbar to add 3 blank spaces just for clicking

Getting on the react native train the last couple of weeks. Started with a Laravel / Vue app. Really cool getting everything working natively.

2024 in review - big year. Purchased a house, got married, lost my job, became a father and final 2 in the recruitment process but got piped at the fence 2 days before Christmas. I'm puffed. Merry Christmas all ✌️

Keeping the motivation while job hunting is challenging, especially towards the end of the year. I've been working on a few products to keep my fingers coding. I'm eager to release them into the wild, so the last few steps feel like they take foooorrrreeeevvveeer

I survived. Baby Jack fell asleep after the first corner. Not winning any records at 40 min but it was a bunch of fun. I need to work on my 'run with pram' technique

Running race today. First one in a very long time and first one with a pram. Kickstart the fitness plan with a 5 km run.

I put it up on Netlify, just a basic upload to test it out for now. I will set up actions after. I didn't know that. Very interesting. I may have a play with that next. It would be handy for content managment

I worked with all that energy after Laracon to try something new. I jumped into #Statamic for a look. Reworked my portfolio website and used the static site generator to make the flat files. So much fun. I highly recommend to anyone in CMS land to have a look at #Statamic lukeketchen.com

I was playing around with it this week for my portfolio site. Having worked with WP in the past I can see the value in Statamic. To be able to just build out the content then use SSG was a lot of fun

Inertia and Vue is usually my go to as well but if you do go React then React native is only one step away as well.

Had a great few days at @laracon.au learnt a heap and made new friends. Full of excitement to go home and build the world
