Got a preview of @mattstauffer.com of @tighten.com recorded interview with @mikepagedev.bsky.social and @ccmiller2018.bsky.social on PHP Alive and Kicking, which will air on Friday this week. One of my favorite people in the PHP world. I highly recommend checking it out when it's released.

Have you ever had one of those weeks where all you are doing is waiting for the weekend to get some project done, and then the weekend gets here and you're like "Nah, I'm good"

If you listened to last week's podcast you have an uneventful idea what's going on. If not, plumbing issue. Now my houses sounds like an airport runway.

It's 2:09 AM, the last day of #phptek, can't sleep, and more importantly, I can't stop thinking about @nativephp.
Welp, I guess it's fine to fire up a new project and play with NativePHP for a little while.

Appearently TailwindCSS, the utility-first CSS framework, can be a replacement for Hootsuite, the social media management platform. I think someone used the wrong "Tailwind" logo in their video. Or maybe they are suggesting you just build your own 🤣

13 years ago, I left Sony after 7+ great years. With support from my wife & friends, I started a new chapter. A year later, @johncongdon.bsky.social and I launched our business, now going over 15 years strong. Just felt like sharing. Keep pushing toward your dreams. #thanks #php
