In Iceland for my first touristy vacation in a long while.

Took me an entire day to actually arrive and switch to vacation mode. Resting heart rate already dropped by like 10 points.

I know Switzerland is already a beauty; but I think Iceland is on par.

A Microsoft product doesn't properly case another Microsoft product. 😶‍🌫️

We were at the top most row. Quite the view and we thankfully saw everything.

Always. Makes for a better testing experience as well.

It's finally time to upgrade all our company apps to Laravel 12. 🎉

@jasonmccreary.bsky.social's Laravel Shift makes this so easy.

Sending articles to my Kindle is the most used feature.

I basically send all articles to read offline while on the train or tram.

Here's a section I loved from "18 Life-Learnings from 18 Years of The Marginalian" (www.themarginalian.org/2024/10/22/m...)

And last but not least is the core feature of their product: events.

Somebody forgot to remove a boolean check I guess, as a `0` is displayed in the list.
Why do I ever want to generate an event with AI? (In our example it suggested a meetup where we talk about React and Vue)

Next, the entire navigation of a group is ridiculous. Everytime I open this dropdown I get confused.

Some links are related to me; eg. managing my relationship with the group.
Some links are upsells and point to a feature landingpage.
Some links point to pages that are just more navigation links. 🤷

meetup[.]com must be one of the worst products I've used in a long while.

This is the "invoice" we received after extending our subscription.

- discount is all wrong (3000 USD off?!)
- conversion to CHF is wrong

(Sure this might be a taxamo issue, but still. 🙄)

Me, always
- 20% of time spent on writing code of the package
- 80% of time spent on making the CI pipeline work

📦 Working on a new little package: two-factor-sudo-mode

Protect some of your routes with a "challenge" view, where users have to enter their two-factor code. (Similar to the existing RequirePassword-middleware in Laravel)

Once entered the "confirmation" is stored for a certain time period.

🙋 I'm using a custom larger runner with 8-cores to run a phpunit test suite a tad faster.
December 13, 2024 at 2:15 PM
Haha. I was already using 1-3. Switched the font to "Iosevka Term" using `/slackfont <font>`.

Let's see how long this lasts.

I don’t always make the dough, but had some good results in the past.
