If it is of interest to anyone I'm building flappy bird with @joe.codes's Chewy wrapper of @jessarcher.bsky.social's Laravel Prompts library on my way home from #LaraconAU just for fun. Not likely to finish it, but we'll see how far I can get.

Yeah but run that build three times. How much time have you wasted? Six minutes!

Andrew Feeney @andrewfeeney.au · 11h

Thanks for the response!

Has anyone else had issues with Cursor terminal processes hanging after competition with @pestphp.bsky.social browser tests? @nunomaduro.com have you seen anything like this?

Andrew Feeney @andrewfeeney.au · 19h

Oh snap, I should have seen that one coming.

Andrew Feeney @andrewfeeney.au · 21h

I should probably check with @kevlin.bsky.social

Andrew Feeney @andrewfeeney.au · 21h

I did read about this. Keen to give it a go. Tell us how it goes!

Server is running at absolute zero. That's good right?

Is eating mermaid cannibalism?

Andrew Feeney @andrewfeeney.au · 2d

You can't be sure there's not some mermaid in there.

Andrew Feeney @andrewfeeney.au · 1d

I thought that was like, the whole deal. You guys had a big war about it and everything.

Andrew Feeney @andrewfeeney.au · 2d

Very cool and normal.

Andrew Feeney @andrewfeeney.au · 2d

Absurd hypotheticals is my middle name.

Andrew Feeney @andrewfeeney.au · 2d

It's just a silly hypothetical of course! If mermaids did exist you can bet they've already been hunted to extinction.

Really our `product_store` should have been converted to a first class model of it's own, maybe something like "StockedProduct" or "ProductListing" the moment it had any other columns other than the `product_id` and the `store_id`. And then, really, why even implement it as a many-to-many at all?

Andrew Feeney @andrewfeeney.au · 4d

that particular store. I could add a "pivot column" sure. But what if somebody then implements logic resets product store connections by deleting all and re-inserting them. No more pesky duplicate many to many rows! Except, no I was expecting the id to remain the same for the embed feature.
