They will ship a hosted PaaS/Vercel equivalent for Laravel within the next 2 years (by 2026).

One thing I keep seeing with people who prefer Vue is: "I don't want my JS beside my template".
What they don't realize is that JSX is NOT a template. There's so much more power built in to JSX over templates that I can gets lost on a lot of people.

Meanwhile dinosaur PHP devs don’t have to think about any of this thanks to tools like Vapor
It’s insane that you can build a project for $0 and scale infinitely for cheap. We’re talking tens of thousands of users for dollars a month
Deployment:
@vercel
- first 1 MILLION edge requests free, next 1m $0.65
DB:
@planetscaledata
- mysql for modern devs, $1 per BILLION row

Hey
@filamentphp
users, if I wanted to make a page of settings in my app (not tied to any specific resource), what should I be doing?
Do I make a custom page in my panel and then add a form to a Livewire component via this?

Don’t have an issue with falling asleep after coding.
Definitely have a problem with being able to walk away from the computer when I’m struggling to solve a problem. Seems to be worse the later it gets in the night.
#DevDiscuss
Time for

!
Tonight’s topic is… developer sleep hygiene
- Overall, has software development/coding impacted your sleep?
- How often do you feel too wired to rest after coding?
- Any tips or resources for sleepless/sleepy developers?

Because they are taking on the risk. They make the harder decisions. If they were punished for succeeding, there would be less businesses which leads to less jobs, etc.

Switch from 5 days/week to 4 days/week and keep the same pay is technically a 20% raise anyways, right? 🙃

I've been working on replacing my personal site (Laravel/blade, 100% custom) with a Nuxt site using one of their UI Pro templates.
It's been hard to understand why someone would want to choose Nuxt over Laravel for a static/content site.

It is time we move on from CRUD (resource-based) naming convention for
#Laravel
projects.
Single action controllers and a VerbSubjectType naming pattern will make your project easier to navigate.

🤯 Someone signed up for Calenderio last night while I was sleeping. They immediately paid (yearly) for the lower tier.
Then about 30 mins after signing up they email and ask to upgrade to the higher tier!
THEN, I ask out of curiosity how they found Calenderio...

2 years ago, I quit my job to pursue that original goal.
