Considering Linux as my first non macOS laptop. My ecosystem has been Apple since the MacIntosh 128K. This is a big change to consider, so a baby step is in order. The Lenovo ThinkPad T14 1st or 2nd gen seem like interesting starting points and I can find them easily on eBay for between […]

Walking in the local palliative care fund raiser this weekend. The kit bag came with a 20% off purebites dog and cat treats, a self proclaimed 100% Canadian company.

Yikes! This wouldn't be half as bad if Taylor wasn't absolutely famous for closing PRs without any feedback. #Laravel #PHP

Taylor Otwell's tweet:

Last week I disabled GitHub Issues on most Laravel open-source packages.

If you hit a bug, describe it to a coding agent and open a PR. Even if the code isn't great, that's fine - code can be iterated on. The PR still documents the problem, and a proper fix can follow.

I suspect this will soon be how most open-source libraries operate.

if you currently depend on #Laravel, this might be a good time to evaluate the cost of moving framework vs the likelihood of major issues appearing in the "soon" term...
