I may have had a few too many at the @middlesbroughfe.co.uk social 😂 this morning will be a struggle. Thanks to everyone who came yesterday and to all of our speakers. We hope you had a great time 🤘

Not long now! I'm also excited for my annual Parmo with @jakearchibald.com!

Hey Laravel devs, here's a gem for you! 💎

I had a great time at the @laravel.com Tees Valley meetup yesterday evening. It's given me the kick to get back out speaking, so I'm pleased to be working up a new mini project to talk about. Just in time for the long weekend!

We've still got very limited tickets remaining for the #MFE Easter Party.

Join us TOMORROW at Pinnacle Bowling in Middlesbrough for FREE!

After working with @laravel.com full-time for the last 2 years, I've been keeping an eye on the Acorn project by @roots.io. Yesterday I tried the Livewire support and created a post search component in a WordPress theme.

Combining Acorn with Sage is actually making WP Theme dev fun 🎉 🤩 👀

Leaked memo from the Shopify CEO about AI contains a bit about not learning AI prompting leading to stagnation. This is a viewpoint of someone not steeped in humanities.

If you don't regularly exercise your brain, you will lose skill. Every time.

I'm here at #SotB2025! Come say hey, I'd love to chat about our event @middlesbroughfe.co.uk! The talks have been brilliant so far. I loved the story behind the Ladybird browser project and a huge shout out to @niya-d.bsky.social on your first talk, it was so good! 🤘 🎉

We finalised the @middlesbroughfe.co.uk 2025 lineup last week. I'm so proud of this lineup and I can't wait to see the day unfold. Tickets are available on the website www.middlesbroughfe.co.uk/events/confe...

Don't miss out! 👇

It took me years to figure this out. But being a healthy developer can make you a better developer. In 2024 I embarked on a journey to improve my physical and mental health.

I feel awesome and I think my work has seen an improvement as a result. So I wrote about it on @dev.to dev.to/jamiebradley...

Did you know that NextJS has a series of helper components that make integrating third party services like Tag Manager a doddle? The library also has functions for sending GTM events using the dataLayer object.

It streamlines your code and makes handling GTM events much easier!

I've been trying to find a new lightweight carousel that I can use in both React and VanillaJS apps. I used to use SplideJS but the support seems to have died down on it.

✨ Enter Embla Carousel ✨ www.embla-carousel.com

I love it! The experience has been great and the generator was useful too!
