Have you gotten anywhere using Herd? That’s felt really painless to me (at least compared to when I started Laravel years ago and needed Homestead) otherwise WSL2 with Ubuntu is really good.

Yup! That’s exactly what I do. Just couldn’t fit it in a single post hahah

Namecheap has never been cheap in my experience. You get a good deal the first year, but the renewal fees are insane.

If I have a random idea I wanna try out on a non-subdomain I sometimes get something on Namecheap for 3 bucks. If it doesn’t generate enough revenue for the renewal I let it expire.

Longer warranty on a kids model is such a good idea!

Yup fully agree with that. If there’s a budget I’d rather go with last years model with max RAM than a newer one with less RAM.

I’m not sure if the performance boost of the chip is worth the upgrade, but seriously do max out the RAM. I regret getting only 24GB. Have 48GB on my work Mac and get close to that limit sometimes too. You’re also probably going to want to mess with local AI, and you need tons of RAM for that.

That depends entirely on how you want to edit the content and what your design goals are. Do you want a database or do you prefer flat file systems? How will people edit content? Using a UI or code editor? Start by listing the requirements and go from there 🙌
