Learning the hard way that the most important setting to turn on in PhpStorm is “drag-and-drop with ALT pressed only” because it is waaay to easy to accidentally move files/folders otherwise.

Preparing the email notifications and blog posts for perhaps the biggest launch in my 30+ year career. Certainly biggest in the last decade.

If Air Canada has to email me ahead of my flight to tell me the plane does NOT have a functioning seat back entertainment system I’m guessing that means no wifi either. I pretty much have to cancel right?

Going live very soon with a Laravel app that requires a lot of scheduled tasks.
So I created a custom health check. Each task logs its success and failures in redis and an endpoint checks that log and returns an appropriate status.
Cloudflare checks it and I can sleep at night.

It’s been a few days since I tried switching from VSCode to PhpStorm w/ Laravel Idea.
I don’t think I will be switching back. I am having some issues with key mapping for GitHub CoPilot but otherwise my expectations have been exceeded.

I just spent many hours trying and failing to debug an odd css issue which creeped into production.
I finally asked Claude.ai
Oh. That’s a common tailwind issue apparently. There’s a simple config tweak that fixes it.
I really love AI even when it makes me feel stupid for waisting hours.

I’ve happily used VSCode for many years for Laravel development. But I’ve also used JetBrain’s DataGrip for many years and happy with that. Well it’s a new year so giving PhpStorm a 30 day trial.
What are the chances I will be left wondering what took me so long?

had an absolutely brutal moment of self awareness as I realized that when I listen to ambient music called like Aleaeris 7: the Adonis Tapes by Hørst it's fulfilling the same purpose as my grandparents buying records called The Jimmy Cresp Orchestra Presents Tahitian Melodies

Learning with AI is so powerful.
In your prompt: Briefly explain your use case. Add a summary on your likely solution. Then ask the AI to expand on this and provide alternatives. Try this w/ claude.ai
You’re going to learn something new. I guarantee it.

Love doing a little bin diving and finding key issues from my childhood.
1st appearance of Snake Eyes in G.I.Joe.
Also 2nd appearance of Monica Rambo & Captain Marvel joins the Avengers.
Life isn’t all code. There’s also comic books (and family and kids of course)

One thing I like about being a developer is that I often can’t tell if I’m being extremely smart or very stupid.

Spent a good portion of the day working on dark mode for a project launching in Jan. I’m glad I listened to @calebporzio.bsky.social podcast/rant on colours because playing w/ opacity worked pretty well to get a darkened version of my existing palette.

Realized (to my surprise) that my 18 year old daughter who loves everything nerdy had never actually seen the matrix. Well there was no option other than to show her. Her mind has now been set free.
