Not sure of the function of it (yet), but @laravel.com Forge's "GitHub deployment records" is really cool. Shows recent deployments in the project's github repo.
Anyone from the Laravel team can explain its function / why I like this so much? @jbrooks.uk maybe?

Welp. Today I learned about "click sabotage" in google ads.. if I set a budget of (say) $20 and set a specific keyword, there are bots set up by SEM companies for competitors that will click my ad frantically, blowing my budget early in the day.
1 impression for $14.

TIL: Creating a new AWS in the AWS "organisations" system, allows you to create a new org with a root user, but - wait for it - **They don't allow the new user to log into the new AWS org**

VueJS - probably late to the party, but the defineModel() for deep reactivity - SO SO SO good. We're slingin' models around like crazy people over here now! 🤠

Something I learned yesterday: in Laravel (any framework really), if your users are going to be in different time zones, use timestamp() instead of dateTime() in your migrations.
dateTime doesn't hold timezone info, and if you use a BI system (eg Metabase), the date-centric fields will misbehave.

Having a bit of a rose-tinted look back at my first #programming efforts. Started on a Sinclair ZX Spectrum (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZX_Spec...), then moved to an Amstrad CPC-464 (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amstrad...) - I think the spectrum was cooler though, the CPC464 was really only used for games.

There's no way AI is coming for devs. I just spent a half hour disagreeing with Chatty G about some sliiiightly incorrect code it generated, and after a few rounds, it completely backtracked.

Today I'm learning about with Laravel's encrypted environments so that we can stay within AWS Lambda limits for Vapor
If this were the 1600's, the whole Laravel team would be burned at the stake for this witchcraft. Witchcraft!

Laravel `schedule:work` command is a little bit of gold within the framework - makes local dev work really nicely with how the app would behave in the real world. Love it!
