Getting ready to roll out my first independent saas. It has zero AI features, but has been built heavily with AI assistance. Still bullish that LLMs will mainly affect a few industries instead of the whole world. #laravel #bootstrap

Just a tiny leap from “broadcasters have to use their spectrum in Trump’s interests” to “AT&T and Verizon have to manage content on their wireless networks in Trump’s interests because they operate on public spectrum”

Why is the fabrication of evidence by the federal government not a headlining story? This text message thread is the fakest thing I've seen. The only thing I can think is that the media has been effectively chilled. The government is not a trusted source. Do your job journalists.

FCC Chair Carr’s post from 12/30/23:

Free speech is the counterweight—it is the check on government control. That is why censorship is the authoritarian’s dream.

Btw very important to say that the FCC has not at all said what Kimmel said that was so objectionable! This is classic chilling effect - there are no rules so everyone stops talking www.theverge.com/news/780471/...
Disney and ABC have pulled Jimmy Kimmel Live! off air “indefinitely” after FCC chairman Brendan Carr threatened to pull the broadcast licenses of any station that aired his show over comments Kimmel made about the man charged with killing Charlie Kirk.

The decision, according to Variety, was made after television giant Nexstar announced that its local ABC affiliates would pre-empt airings of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, just hours after Carr issued that threat. Nexstar is one of the biggest owners of television stations across the country. We’ve reached out to the FCC for comment on what specifically is objectionable from Kimmel’s show and which FCC regulations he may have violated.

TIL about `array_column` in PHP 🤩 And it can work on objects, too, so here's simple way to get all the values from a backed enum… (It's also about 2x faster than `array_map` in my testing.)
<?php

enum Status: int
{
  case Pending  = 1;
  case Started  = 2;
  case Complete = 4;
  case Error    = 8;
}

array_column(Status::cases(), 'value');

// Result: [1, 2, 4, 8]

Forget vanity metrics. The real test of whether an ad is working is whether people mention it in Slack. (Congrats to @aaronfrancis.com and @ianlandsman.com and the @mostlytechnical.com on this one) Podcast ads work!

One of the biggest reasons I chose to go with plain Blade templates for my Laravel SaaS starter kit is that it's just simpler. Less tooling, only one language to manage, and more methods directly available from the core framework. Also honestly, I just like working with it!
