Okay, so I'm pretty sure I've found the best way in the world to create dynamic Open Graph images! And I've turned it into a little product that I'd love to show you 🤩

Check out this quick video tour of Ogkit.dev to see how it works 👇

My personal rules for surviving Ikea:

1. Never buy the cheapest option. Even if on a tight budget, buy the *second* cheapest

2. Once you’ve left a floor, there is no going back

3. Never impulse buy something in the Self-Service warehouse

4. The cinnamon rolls smell a lot better than they taste

For @laravellive.dk I had this crazy idea to build and host a full-blown Jeopardy game with physical buzzers and all. Of course 100% built with Laravel.

We just removed code examples from our docs for a third-party Geocodio library that hasn't been updated in 10 years(!). We now only show code examples for our first-party libraries.

I'm on a 9 hr plane ride and I'm bored, so here's a thread about product management as different forms of government

I'm happy to report that Claude Code works exceedingly well on plane WiFi.

I wasn't sure how much data it was pushing back and forth, but it's surprisingly smooth!

It’s been a minute since Laracon 2017 😀
8 years ago today!! And now we’re sitting on the plane on our way to Laracon again 🥺🥺

It’s Laracon time! @mjwhansen.com and I are officially on the way to Denver.

Looking forward to seeing you all soon. Don’t forget to swing by the @geocod.io booth

Preparing the last few bits for Laracon. This is going to be good!

What are you wrapping up before Laracon?

I hate how much I love being complimented by Claude Code when it reviews my PRs

"The changes are low-risk, technically sound, and enhance both the logical structure and user experience of the documentation."

Everybody has a box of cables (according to @mjwhansen.com)

Today it saved the day. Lost internet this morning, and walked in to see the router looking decisively unwell. Quick internet search says bad power supply.

Go to the box o’ cables and fetch a matching power supply. The internet is back!

Not sure which features to prioritize? Want to understand your customers better so you know exactly *what* to build?

It’s WILD that Michele is running a $5 sale. What a steal!
Deploy Empathy is only 24 copies from selling 5,000 copies, which is absolutely WILD

...so the Kindle version is now on sale for $ | £ | € 5.00 to get it over the line

Absolutely loving the new "plan mode" in Claude Code. Makes it much easier to build out an architecture/strategy before jumping into the implementation phase.

Our car felt like it was going much faster than the speedometer was showing.

Turns out it had reset itself to mph instead of km/h overnight.

There’s no units on the display, so it wasn’t obvious at all 😆

One of my dogs was totally vibe coded

His barking feature was clearly never reviewed or tested before going to prod. He’ll be completely asleep and then without any provocation or sound, just randomly start full-throated barking
