folks! I’m so proud of all of you for doing what you’re doing. I admire all of you so much!
Also, I’m a professional web dev, so if there’s ANY way I can help you, please let me know! Networking, coding questions, cheerleading, being a Twitter friend, anything!

Come on man, get down off your high horse and remember that it’s still in Early Access. There’s a civil way to let people know if you think something is missing or if you think there’s a problem—no need to condemn a project the second it launches without a chance to make fixes.

@melodymdev
Best advice I was given when starting a new job - document ~everything~ you learn, no matter how big or small. As you keep learning, those notes serve as building blocks that you can snap together to form the basis for larger, more complicated topics.

Any other
#Laravel
developers add static constructors to their custom classes to get that ~lovely~ method chaining?
MyClass::make()->method() over (new MyClass())->method() any day 🔥

For any and all devs, you don’t NEED to write code for 13, 14, or 15 hours a day. Even when you’re learning.
Take time to take care of yourself, explore other interests, connect with other people (or corgis). You learn and perform better when you’re happy and healthy 👍🏻

Yep.

It's incredible how quick I can build something in

@codewithdary
Like PHP? Livewire + Alpine
Like a more JS-focused front-end experience? Svelte all the way.
Svelte pairs so well–it has syntax that gets out of your way and just lets you write JS without a ton of boilerplate. Reminds me of how Laravel handles PHP code! Simple and elegant.
