A few weeks ago, I set out to get some experience building something with PHP that is NOT #WordPress, and decided that I'd dive deep into #Laravel. I figured the best way to approach it would be to just build *something*, and see how far I could get. A project for learning.
I'm more and more convinced that short form video content consumption will be our undoing. Especially when its delivered algorithmically.
Frankly, I'm not sure if the benefits of AI technology outweigh the very obvious and possibly unavoidable societal decay.
If I'm wrong, please let me know.

WordPress has become an anachronism on the web, running on old architecture with old programming ideas as if the web in 2024 is what it was in 2012. As a result, WP skills are becoming less and less transferable.

The clearest evidence to me that human brains have some irreconcilable differences comes from the popularity of the idea that the only button a microwave oven needs is +30 seconds and how that doesn't fit at all with how much I would hate such a microwave with a passion.

I understand the benefits of rapid prototyping, and I'm even starting to come around to the idea of utility classes for CSS (see adamwathan.me/css-utility-... for more), but does every tool/tutorial and UI library need a Tailwind dependency?
CSS Utility Classes and "Separation of Concerns"

In this post I explain how I got to this point a...

Another thing-I-made promo for those who've not seen it. And a timely one given that #php v8.4 is out this week:
caniphp.com
A handy reference of what was added, when. With links to references. Like caniuse.com but for PHP!
A nice way to explore new features and see what has changed!
