Dang. Just got a notification from my tests on an old project that we won't be able to use /** @test */ on PHPUnit anymore?
It's a sad day.
(I know I can replace them with the #[Test] annotation, it's just.. these were such an integral part of my learning to test...)

Ok, so basically the deal is: you just need a few specific tools and then it becomes *significantly* easier. Although between the tools and the batteries this is definitely going to need its own little toolkit. But it’s very manageable.
Four down, two to go.

Current status: trying to learn how to replace watch batteries because $30/watch just ain’t worth it.
Man this is more complex than I feared.

OK, so the Tighten logo isn't the only thing exciting (to me) about the Wire:Live web site. I'm also super excited to share I'll be speaking!
We love using Livewire as one of our primary frontend stacks at
@tighten.com, so I'm honored to be on stage for the inaugural conference!

You'll be unsurprised to hear that I've built an app to track my progress along each video course I create.
One useful thing it does is inspect the state of the video files (has audio been processed? etc.) and presents appropriate buttons to trigger conditional ffmpeg scripts.

If you attended Laracon US, you already know this, but:
I'm currently wrapping up the last three videos of my upcoming course, which is all about how I built the incredible development team at @tighten.com.
The course will be free (!!), hosted on Laracasts, and out this autumn!

I'm deep into recording my next course. The topic on this one is *very different*--I don't know if we have anything else like it in the Laravel community or even much outside of it. I'm very, very excited about everything I'm sharing here. Definitely my most personal course.

Just added another round of new entries to BuiltWithLaravel. Need to make the process to add entries faster so I can get them in there, but still adding a few a week!

Choose your school district name, the date, whether or not it's canceled, and the URL for your broadcast, and then you're good to go!
If kids are younger you can pull it up for them, but I imagine you could maybe put it on the fridge for when older kids wake up? 🤷🏻♂️

I was just thinking how kids these days don't get the experience of waking up in the morning to check to see whether school is canceled for a snow day.
So I threw up a mini site that lets you create a custom URL you or your kids can visit to check!
