What’s everyone working on today? For me, lots of boilerplates for a new app, and moving GitLab Omnibus to docker (🥱)

Matthew Peck-Deloughry @mdeloughry1h

Apply CSP Headers and tracking to a few site so thats boring! but also looking at building more in to my ai world

Martin @nightcoding2h

Migrating old rails app to laravel 🥱 sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's not

Matthew Peck-Deloughry @mdeloughry19h

would love to know how you get on with Zen I've just moved to the $40 Go plan, and I totally forgot about t3 chat I might need to go back to it

@simonhamp does nativephp work on MacOS and Windows? We’ve a few Laravel internal apps in work and I’ve been considering a desktop solution

JonJKF @jonJKF1d

Based on your use-case it sounds like you don't need to do much at all. Most browsers have the ability to install apps to the desktop this way, for example here are the screenshots showing how to install /dev/null as an app in Chrome

Sam Shupac @samshupac1d

What would you say are the benefits of native desktop over browser-based? I can’t see it myself but maybe it’s more about what your apps are doing?

Simon @simonhamp1d

Yep, github.com/nativephp/desktop! v2 (the current release) uses Electron, but we're currently working on v3 which ditches Electron completely, and it's fully native and way better. coming very soon

I wish PHP had generics. I'm not a fan of docblocks

Matthew Peck-Deloughry @mdeloughry1d

Tell me about I wish this RFC hurries up and gets public - https://wiki.php.net/rfc/generics

wiki.php.netPHP: rfc:generics

Bruno @b7s1d

Docblocks is a workaround... And it looks like it's going to take a long time to be replaced

Me: but I’ve 82 Larastan errors…. Skye: I don’t care, take me out for a midnight walk!

phpete @phpete11d3565b73

We got Prime on here and this is all he’s contributed to the network 😂

phpete @phpete11de4554a4

Installing Larastan mid project is probably a bad idea..... Let's see what mess I've made!

start with level 0, progress from there.

@nunomaduro @paulinevos when can we expect /dev/null merch? It's nearly Christmas and I want a new hat, just sayin'

Mohammed Samgan Khan @msamgan1d

Commenting so that I get updates. I need merchs too….

Pauline Vos @paulinevosquoted1d

My only demand is that it must be drippy. At least as much as the Laravel artisan jacket.

Laravel Clouds scale to zero feature is insane. Less than 1 second to wake the server out of standby. Crazy!

Finally using L’vel Horizon today 🙌 Using it for an app that consolidates our data sources (3rd party APIs) and distributes them across our different platforms. It may sound boring, but I love building on a blank canvas. Also going analog on this one, very little AI input.

Ooft can’t believe I’ve not done a daily commit here today. Must be running out of nonsense to share

What’s the one desk accessory you cannot work without? For me, my Adam Audios 💙

Evan Edwards @EvanEdwards2d

Does a computer count? I guess after that... an outlet and a good keyboard? If it's not directly computer related, earbuds? And then 3x5 stuff: a spiral pad and index cards.

A little experiment as I’m still figuring how best to use AI in work. I have a legacy non-php app Going to let Claude rewrite in Laravel. It’s about a weeks work, but I reckon Claude will have it complete in a couple hours. It’s currently review the old app, learning our…

Cool idea. Sometimes Claude says: "[...] will take several weeks" - gang we are doing it today

phpete @phpete13dcb9beaf

Last week was stressful for a lot of PHP devs. For my team, we’ve found gaps in our devops documentation, and inefficiencies in our pipelines. Both of which made updating PHP so quickly rather stressful. Today we’ve updated our docs and got a plan in place to update our…

@stephenlake your website is pretty awesome!!!

John Beales @jbeales4d

My website barely gets updated anyway. /dev/null has given me an excuse to post … here. What I should do is make it so I can syndicate from my website to here, but I haven’t done it yet.

phpete @phpete14d413e69d

Been doing some tidying up on my website again this weekend. We've got 🎧 dialogs to my music pages ✝ rotating Bible Scripture in footer ⌨ keyboard shortcuts ☀️ seasonal colour schemes…
