best use of ai thus far: prototyping a new marketing webpage while simultaneously cooking dinner. probably a joke to be had here about pleasing the boss and wifey at the same time. 🤭

Easily one of the most important videos you'll watch all year. I knew a bit about PFAS going into it, but... damn.

@ianlandsman.com just listened to your recent MT episode and wanted to mention Augment Code’s plugin for PHPStorm. It brings Windsurf/Cursor-like agent processing into the ide.

Not affiliated. Just been trying it myself for a few weeks and curious to hear your thoughts on a future episode. 👍

If you’re itching to review code for some odd reason and desperate for a link to be handed to you, help me and my friends at NativePHP out by reviewing this PR for any glaring gaps in logic. You will be rewarded with emojis.

Disc golf has to be one of the best basically-free sports one can play. Are there others I should be aware of?

Just as I'm starting to get excited about productivity boosts from using AI, it fails to add up numbers from a spreadsheet correctly. It's amazing how capable these tools seem until you ask them to do something trivial but exact.

Am I the only one seeing this when attempting to look at the Laravel docs this morning?

What do bottom feeders and blockchains have in common? Absolutely nothing!

But that won’t stop us from covering both in the latest episode of The Bucket! 😅

We’ve put a care package for delivery drivers at our front door since the holiday period is so crazy for them.

So far, we’ve had a 100% “don’t mind if I do” rate!

Wifey (holding our 10mo old): Hey, does it smell like he pooped?

[Wifey positions baby’s bottom toward me]

[I sacrifice myself to make an investigative sniff]

[Baby proceeds to rip a massive fart as my nose is literally touching his bottom]

Baby: Hahehaha ☺️

Wifey: 🤣🤣🤣

Me: 😵‍💫
