When you’re working on a team or working for a client, you don’t always get to pick the exact stack you like working with. Embrace them anyways.

I had a ton of fun talking to Joe last month about my side project, TellyDraft, which just passed 60k total users. Check it out if you're interested in the behind-the-scenes of the last 7 years we've spent building it. Thanks @joe.codes for inviting me on and being a great host!
Please welcome @johnbon.dev into your ears!
John has a side project with (gasp) actual users!
And the best part is: it's seasonal.
His users are active for 3 months of the year then he gets 9 months to tinker and upgrade. The dream.

Dave's talk is great and worth watching. He's also the chillest person I've ever seen on stage. There is 0% difference between stage Dave and the Dave you grab a pizza with. The man is chill. It's something to behold.
My talk from Laracon US is live 🥳

In 10 minutes & 66 (!) slides I cover everything from academic libraries📚 to Y2K-era dotcom puppets🐶 and why your taste & judgement will matter more than ever before.

A month ago my side project launched for its 8th year. In the last month it’s gained an additional 9,500 users, pushing the total since 2018 over 60k. It’s one of those things I want to talk about more often but it’s hard to find the time or solidify what to take away from it.
