Recently, I've been playing with the idea of porting @laravel.com's Eloquent ORM to the Javascript ecosystem.
Probably spent way too many side-hustle hours on this one, but we made it to the "Houston, we have a rough prototype" phase.
It makes @svelte.dev's remote functions shine even brighter! 😎

I can neither confirm nor deny that every time I make a task-list-like form in an app, I test it with Adele lyrics. 😅

Had some twists and turns in the past few weeks.
Time to go back to the lesson I learned in my Para Alpine Skiing days: when it doesn’t work, go back.
In ski racing, that meant no skiing through gates, just freeskiing, making turns and finding the joy in everything being simple again. (1/3)

I haven’t figured out how to reset form fields from @svelte.dev remote function call (within form) after submit.
Currently running this Frankenstein approach, where I don’t specify the withOverrides(), but it seems redundant, since it’s verbose & doesn’t utilize the optimistic update. 🤔

I may have created the ugliest app in the World today, but it’s the internal beauty of it that’s important.
Probably the highlight of my week. 🫶🏻

Won’t be able to make it to Barcelona this year, but as a wheelchair user and @svelte.dev community member - knowing that the venue is fully wheelchair accessible (without digging around for info) is hugely important.
Congrats to @rich-harris.dev and Svelte Team pushing #a11y online and offline. ✌🏻

Decided today is a perfect day to write some non-job-related code and learn some @svelte.dev CRUD with @cloudflare.social D1 in the process.
Very WIP at the moment…

Started off the day filling in at the livestream commentator post for the IBU Para Biathlon World Championship 2025 in Pokljuka, Slovenia… That’s my I barely know what I’m doing face from the booth.
Brilliant experience, thanks again for the opportunity! 💚

Asked two LLMs - Gemini Advanced & Claude - to help me write some boilerplate text, explaining #Laravel to a non-developer/non-technical client.
We've officially reached the stage of LLMs reading & copying other LLMs while trying to convince humans how vastly different they are from one another. 🫠

Attended the Slovenian #Laravel Meetup, hosted by @agiledrop.bsky.social a few weeks back.
As always, super welcoming crowd, fun talks and great time hanging out with php artisans. 🫶🏻
Also, wheelchair always guarantees a front row seat in the group photo, whether you’re a speaker or not. 🤓

Without a doubt, my aspirations for ever calling myself a software developer again would have stalled without a supportive group of people that always find time to help out - my Bestest People.

Been waiting for a perfect project to come along, that absolutely warrants the use of event sourcing in #Laravel, using Verbs by @cmorrell.com and @coulb.com...
... and reading this, I think the Universe has delivered.

Asked an LLM to make a joke about Laravel and got this back...
... perhaps LLMs are not context aware, but we should talk about boundaries.

Glad the Verbs docs recognize this to a degree and I don't feel like I'm the only one to dumb to nail this right of the bat. 🫠

My 2nd Macbook, a Late 2013 model also known as logos, just received a new battery, got upgraded to macOS Monterey via OpenCore Legacy Patcher and is becoming the first computer of my 9 year old son.
Waiting on late night OS upgrades sure bring back memories of computer era that is no more. 🥹❤️
