The gap between having an idea and putting it in front of real users keeps getting smaller.
If there's a side project you've been sitting on, build it.
If you've never tried Laravel and want to give it a shot, we made a prompt for you to paste into your agent. It tells the agent how to get started with Laravel, and even how to install PHP if necessary: laravel.com/docs/13.x#gettin…

Laravel "hot take": over-engineering may be a real problem
Not everything needs an Action class, a DTO, and an Event.
If your store method is 3 lines, LEAVE IT in the Controller.
Over-engineering hurts readability more than "fat controllers."

Some great submissions for @LaraconAU so far 🙌
I'd love to see more talks in a few areas:
- beginner-friendly / tools-focused
- deeper technical dives (45 min)
- architecture and system design
- product and real-world decision-making
Submit your talk👇laracon.au/speak

Ok Aussie & NZ friends, would anyone be interested in coming to a half or full day security workshop in Brisbane the week before @LaraconAU (i.e. Mon, Tues, or Wed)? 🤓
If there is enough interest, I'll start looking for a venue and figure out pricing, etc. #LaraconAU

Many of you asked what it was like in the ER right now. I want to share a bit with you. Please RT:

It occurs to me that if there was ever a #metoo for domestic violence, it would split this society asunder. But there won’t be, because women protect their children from the truth. Often, for a lifetime.

💡The biggest perspective-shift for me so far in 2020.
📚 Reading isn't about acquiring information - it's about changing the way I perceive the world around me. It teaches me how to THINK differently.
That's pretty cool.

How I code:
1. Make it work
2. Make it pretty
3. Make it work again because I probably broke it while trying to make it pretty

Oh, it's #RUOKDay week again.
This is your annual friendly reminder to *not* ask someone "are you OK?" unless you're prepared for when they answer "no".

year 0: I know nothing
years 1-2: I know some things
years 3-4: I don't know what I don't know
years 4-4.5: I know *everything*
years 4.5-10+: I know nothing
