Yeah that too! I also store everything on it.

Every game I ever owned in the last 10 years is logged in there. And every game I played in the last 5 years.

That’s what fellow board game geeks are for!

The experience to log a game on the app is infinitely better than the website.

They do have a mobile app that is somewhat more mobile friendly in certain page 🫠

It’s the Geek’n’son Bristol table.

The table is great, however the company isn’t that good with support. I had some damage on my table when I got it, took over 2 years (and way too many email reminders) to get the replacement part.

I have the same table (without the LEDs though) 🎲

Oooh that’s nice! Last time I used nova was in 2019.

Last project I made I used Filament for the back office. Would love to see how Nova fairs in comparison nowadays.

I would go even further:

I hate this trend of sprinkling AI on things that already work.

My issue with Coolify is that everything is containerised. I honestly don’t need that kind of setup.

I like to keep things simple with everything running on the server. Makes everything easier and less prone to mistakes.

It’s better indeed. But IMHO it’s still usage of AI art.

Otherwise, keep up the good work of preaching Laravel 💪

No thank you.

That job posting is full of red flags. The first one being a typo in the title on the top of the page.

Please, anyone reading, don’t apply there as it does look like a very toxic work environment.

While an obvious April’s fool, I’m not sure the topic is the best considering the current political climate all over the world where governments are trying to get rid of e2ee.

I read the article as a satire but others might take it too seriously and use it to support their claim that e2ee is bad.

It depends on where you live and if you want to work in a company that interest you.

In France for example Symfony represents the vast majority of the PHP jobs. Making it hard to find a Laravel job in an industry that you like that also pays well.

And the numbers drop if you want full remote.

Mistborn is amazing!

I remember buying the first book and after 50 or so page ordering the other two because I was hooked.

From a small scale test it looks like using the MailManager or the Dispatcher through DI still allow you to use the Mail::fake() or Event::fake() in your tests.

You might need to inject the contract interface rather than the actual class though. It’s pretty nice that it still works.

I do agree that it’s a fine balance, but I got bit more often by final classes than by adding behaviour.

Sometimes I feel like final is what “the cool kids” are using. I personally never really found a use case where using final saved me. It’s mostly in the way 🤔
