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!

It's a great team, if I do say so myself 🔥

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!

Started a new short-form podcast about game design, inspired by @calebporzio.bsky.social's Notes On Work. Every week I'll talk about a hard game design problem, something interesting I'm working on, or a game that's inspiring me. notesonplay.transistor.fm
Notes on Play
A game development log where I share the hardest game design problems, and share thoughts on the games I'm playing. My name is John Rudolph Drexler and you can find my games at catacombian.com

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!

It’s been a heck of a day, but I’m streaming again tonight! Come hang out at around 7:30p eastern time—we’re starting on something new!

We’re going to be building out a modular platform for running and managing my family (because with soon to be 3 kids, we need some order)!
