I have my phpstorm setup to only ever have one tab open at a time and then just use recent file switching. I don’t think I could ever go back to multi tab chaos 😂

Sometimes it’s just when my brain works the best, and I can get stuff done without any other distractions 🤷‍♂️

Anyone who thinks gaming is expensive should take up golf 😬

😮 I’ve still not been fortunate enough to experience a parmo. I have often contemplated whether the 10 hour round trip to Boro is worth the trip though.

What’s in the mega fat bastard nosebag takeaway meal deal? I feel like you north easterners do dirty takeaway better than most. Certainly better than we get in the south west

My GM shot today. Have a good round

Last I heard it definitely wasn’t officially affiliated

So sorry Evan. I feel we’re so close to losing our boy and it’s going to break me. No words can help I know, but remember how much he was loved and how much he loved you. ❤️

Just time to learn how to use NativePHP 🙄 we’ve been talking about it this week though

Agreed, we’ve just done the same. Smiled ear to ear throughout every episode, beautiful stuff ❤️

Especially when people doing it properly must make up a huge amount of their income

The fight videos 🤦‍♂️ relentlessly on my feed before I left. I feel like the first time you’re served one you’re like WTF and pause for a few seconds and they take that as a marker to just keep on piling them in your direction.

I mean generally yes, but what about when you have soft deletes? Surely deleted_at HAS to go at the end?

My experience of flux so far would suggest you lean towards the single modal just for performance purposes. Not hating here, I like flux a lot, but I’ve definitely noticed a lot of components having an impact on load times

Maybe you need to go less niche to get it off the ground? Creators in other languages must still share the same issues. Also maybe opens doors to some different collaborative content, like working with someone where they build the front end and you do Laravel backend?

Personally I’d suck up the extra cost and go for the Pro. I got nearly a decade out of the MBP I had before my M4 because I just bought a little bit more spec than I needed.

I’m hoping that same tactic plays out this time. And the M4 doesn’t even break sweat with the stuff I’m asking it to do now

Mainly some Reddit thread. Don’t bother looking it up 😂

Why is it that sometimes your brain just doesn’t tell you to check the fundamental things?

I definitely agree with the sentiment of this post. At the very least there should be a “I don’t want this” option in all these new implementations that stops it and then doesn’t aggressively try to get you to change your mind 😬

On the terminal thing though, I love Warp’s ai suggestions 😂

Either of the first two Strokes albums fits this perfectly

Thanks. Will put a version online and share it with you once I’ve got it a little more polished
