I’m thrilled to announce that I will be speaking at Wire⚡Live next month! As someone who has used Livewire since its initial release, I'm excited to share the tips and tricks I use to write production-ready Livewire apps.

Something I've noticed: strong developers can blend into code bases.
Meaning, the code they contribute matches the style & opinions of the code base. They know how to lean into the strengths of each pattern, and aren't dogmatic about one over the other.

Would any @larabelles.com be interested in going to a Wire:Live pre-hang on the night of October 27th?
That sounds like a not fun experience.
I find myself kinda wishing conferences would hold a pre-conference get together for women/trans/NB folks to meet and find a buddy before it starts. Like a little tea and cookies meet-and-greet before the opening night reception. Just so you have _someone_

At the beginning of the project I'm on, I counseled nuance and only using tools like Form Requests when necessary. Now that the project has matured, I want more standards to be applied across the repo so that things are more predictable and consistent.

Hey! Laravel tip for you 💡
SQLite CLI has a CSV mode to import CSVs directly into a table:
sqlite> .mode csv
sqlite> .import products.csv products
Use Laravel's Process to run this command in a seeder and quickly populate any table!
