Front-end dev: “back-end is hard”

Back-end dev: “front-end is hard”

Full-stack dev: “everything is hard”

👀 😂

Hey! I'm looking for a co-founder/partner to help me build and grow some Laravel projects.

I’m open to both techie and non-techie roles.

If you’re up for a new challenge, hit me up in DMs and I’ll share more details!

Any @laravelphp developers want a free copy of the Streamline SaaS starter kit?

(Check out my profile)

Like and share this post and I’ll send you a license no questions asked 🚀

If you’re a guy in your 20s, buy a headspace subscription.

Go in debt if you have to.

Got some free time coming up in the new year and looking for a few Laravel projects to work on.

I’ve built apps from scratch with Laravel, handling everything from front-end to back-end to deployment.

If you need an extra hand or someone to help move things forward, feel free to reach out!

Every time 🙈

Every time 🙈

Last night I had to make some urgent adjustments to a form in work.

The client needed a file upload and extra form fields.

Luckily I’d built the site with Laravel so it was super easy to do.

A couple of additional lines of code and boom.

Laravel is such a joy to work with.

Understanding code is more crucial than ever.

Lately, I've been integrating AI into my workflow for faster code generation. But I only add it to my codebase if I fully understand what it's doing; no blindly copying and pasting.

What’s your approach to using AI in development?

In your Laravel app, do you save files/images locally or via some kind of CDN?

If CDN, which one y’all using?

Hey Laravel devs, say hi so we can connect 👋

Congrats Caleb, Flux is maturing nicely.

Gutted I didn’t have the time to push Turbine UI harder.

Themes was one of the things I slaved over only to neglect it completely in the end 🙈

My Laravel origin story

- quit A levels

- studied design BTEC design

- graduated university as a graphic designer

- started an agency

- hacked together a WordPress theme

- switched from design to development

- learnt PHP working at a fintech company

- side hustle selling themes and plugins…

In past generations workers went down the mines for little pay and huge risk to life.

Now, you can work from home and become a millionaire from the comfort of your own couch.

What a time to be alive.

I’ve just asked both my kids (11 and 14) who this is?

They both looked at me like I was mad and said they didn’t have a clue 😂

It was one of those moments that I felt old.

“By the Power of Grayskull! I have the power!”

Coding over Christmas or no? 🎅

My real aha moment in Laravel is that there isn’t one way to do things.

Yes, sure there are best practices but it’s really up to you, the developer, which way you take the project.

I love that.

The Laravel ecosystem has grown at an exponential rate over the past couple of years.

What a time to be a PHP/Laravel developer.

Still feel lucky to have stumbled upon it all those years ago.

I wouldn’t be building web apps if I didn’t.

I’m a bit late to the party, what’ve I missed?
