Yesterday

Only *one*!

Up next: @mattstauffer with "keeping your taste" at Laracon AU Only ONE developer in the audience does not use AI at all for writing code, at all. Everyone else uses it for at least some of their code.

Nehal Hasnayeen @Hasnayeen1d

like not at all for coding?

Currently last minute finishing my slides for #LaraconAu while Claude vibe codes an entire puzzle for giving away copies of my book. Will share as soon as it's done!

OK. It's 11:30am. In the last 40 hours I've gotten 4 hours of sleep (screaming baby on the flight over). I'm so tired my vision is starting to blur. But I just got into the country and don't want to mess up my jet lag. Do I:

So my battle tested advice would be: push through and do a brewery tour with me. Just saying 😂

Connor McManus @cmcmanus963d

Nap + HYDRATE. Anytime I'm in a situation like this, it can be easy to forget to do that lol. I find it helps immensely!

Sory Kaba @SoryAK3d

Sleep is the only right answer.

@tom So if everyone at Laracon Au wants to post to a centralized space… do we have groups, or hashtags, or anything? Or is that just not part of the dev/null ethos? Or have people considered it and we just don’t have it live rn? I’m on a plane and the internet is garbage so I…

Suliman Benhalim @sulimanbenhalimquoted3d

matt asked from a plane, nuno said "give me 3 minutes" and the hashtags commit landed 8 minutes later 😅 the most accurate estimate in software history #LaraconAU

Matthieu Napoli @mnapoli3d

follow-up question: what would you want? - live discussions to replace a slack? (e.g. for attendees to queue questions to speakers during their talks? - commits (posts) that can talk about the conference, like hashtags on twitter? - a page about the conference where speakers &…

Jon Sugar @jonsugar3d

Would be nice to have the live stream (if there is one) pinned at the top of the group so non-attendees can watch and post. A kinda watch-party of sorts.

Matt Stauffer @mattstauffer4d0a4c0c7

Well @nunomaduro told ne to post pictures of my trip to Australia. First up, landing at LAX

I had to ask the maintainers of an open source project today: what's a reasonable cadence for me to submit PRs? I have SO MANY THINGS I want to contribute, but I don't want to overload you. As a maintainer, it's clear that the best PR is small and clearly described. But even the…

Ez.-@harlequinetcieOct 25

As a maintainer, the best PR is that one that resolves a clear pain in the software. Not a small fix, or polishing some detail you like, but something that adds raw value. How often? The more you do, the more you understand, the more we trust your judgement. What's the worst…

Ben James @benjam-esOct 25

Slightly unrelated, but I did see someone asking @tom for suggestions for a good first PR. It might be worth creating it as a list and other developers should share the load (and help iterate on ideas)

Pauline Vos @paulinevosquotedOct 24

We are super-powered now. We now need to relieve the bottle neck on either ends of the development process: - discovery and prioritization of work to be done - assessing and accepting performed work We're only giving agents the middle bit and it's making everyone much slower…

I was at a business conference for the last few days and at the end its last networking thing was to play pickleball together (I've never played pickleball) Upside: it's very, very easy to learn and very fun Downside: freaking pickleball elbow?!? WTF?

Bennett @bennettblackOct 22

I've had luck with these for golf and pickleball! https://a.co/d/08NXwxV5

Hey Matt - Short term: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F3C7MSBW?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1 Long term: the more you play, you'll figure out you don't need to hit every shot as hard as you can. It goes from a game of power to a game of strategy. That surprised me.
