Senior Software Engineer @ Zillow. Head of DevRel @ Filament. Mentor. Loves Laravel, Filament, JS, and Tailwind. Neovim user. Has a cute corgi.
Last stream of the year is going to be tomorrow, 12/30 @ 7:00p EST!

We'll get a Laravel dev environment set up on our custom Linux install and finally test the automatic full-install setup script!

Still a long way to go for the entire project, but this is a huge milestone!

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Hope you all have a relaxing, restful holiday surrounded by those you love: family, friends, pets, and your @filamentphp.com applications.

In all seriousness, I’m so very thankful for all of you and wish you all the best as we round out this year!

How about one more stream before the holiday break?

After our custom Linux install exploration last week, it's time to start setting up our own custom install script so anyone can use it!

Come hang out and help shape the outcome of our dev-focused install tonight at 7pm EST!

Back to streaming again tomorrow night, and since I'm between projects, I think it's about time I started working on a custom Linux setup.

I'm leaning into tech I've never used before, so come hang out and let's learn together!

The Q4 delivery date can't come quickly enough!

I might have overdone it on the CPU, but hey, now I might be able to keep all my browser tabs open without issue 😅

We'll have to stream the unboxing and setup! Obviously, we'll put Omarchy on it 🔥

No stream tonight–Leia had a procedure done at the vet today and is going to need some time tonight to come off the anesthesia. And let's be honest, she's the most productive one on stream 😅

Probably going to stream tomorrow instead, so stay tuned for that!
August 27, 2025 at 4:50 PM
It's a great team, if I do say so myself 🔥

Come hang out, I'm live over on twitch.tv/alexandersix_ !

Going to be working some more on getting git worktrees integrated into Laravel, and we'll be doing it on my brand new Omarchy install!

Going to be working on two things on stream tonight:

- Better git worktree support in Laravel

- Finishing my Omarchy install for Laravel (as-needed)!

Come hang out at 8pm EDT if either of those things sound interesting to you! 😂

Huuuuuuuge thank-you to @danharrin.com for hopping on stream and taking us through some parts of Filament v4 (after we bikeshedded the app idea for an hour first 😅)

If y'all haven't already, give @filamentphp.com v4 a go–it's such an easy way to build incredibly powerful apps 🔥

Come hang out with @danharrin.com and I right now, live on Twitch to talk about @filamentphp.com v4 and build an app!

Excited about the @filamentphp.com v4 launch? You're not going to want to miss tonight's livestream (8pm EDT) on my Twitch channel

We'll have the one and only @danharrin.com on to answer questions about v4 and help us build a project built entirely on Filament!

Well, Mother Nature is wrecking my plans for tonight—a massive storm has showed up out of nowhere and our power is going in and out.

So, I’m postponing stream for tonight, but I’ll be back either another day this week or at the same time next week. Thanks for your patience!
