I'll be in Buffalo this week for Wire:live⚡️ with the @laravel.com crew - come by our booth and say hi 👋

Honored to have been an early HelpSpot customer (and a recent employee) ❤️

Without Ian & HelpSpot I would have never found Tighten, would have never found the Laravel community, and would have never made it to my current position.

Happy birthday to @ianlandsman.com & HelpSpot 🥳
I wrote up a few thoughts on HelpSpot turning 20 today ianlandsman.com/helpspot-tur...

show this to anyone else you know who also assumed DHH was just a normal conservative dude rather than a raging white supremacist lunatic
DHH Is Way Worse Than I Thought | jakelazaroff.com
DHH's politics are not normal. Maybe they used to be, I don't know, but as of right now the dude is_way outside of what most people would consider moral or acceptable.

This week @ianlandsman.com had a bombshell announcement for @aaronfrancis.com about Outro.fm - he Laravel New'd it!

Is this two steps forward, three steps back? Is this a "business dad" move or is Ian actually "developer dad"?

Is this the first time Aaron's ever been speechless?!

OK, so the Tighten logo isn't the only thing exciting (to me) about the Wire:Live web site. I'm also super excited to share I'll be speaking!

We love using Livewire as one of our primary frontend stacks at
