I didn't know this was a thing 😆

"The Speaker: Before the hon. minister gets up, I want to tell members that I hear some singing in the House. Members know that singing is not permitted in the House. I will just ask whoever is doing that to please stop."

Does Google index my web application when using #Laravel with #inertiajs (no SSR)? I read articles that say it doesn't, I read articles that say JS is no longer an issue for Google. What's true? Or can there even be a clear answer here?

@doefom I have a site built w/ Inertia (no SSR), and it seems to show up in Google okay.

I'm glad I removed JetPack from my website, as it seems a lot of users are finding their stats are gone as they get reclassified as "commerical" users.

I'm using Koko Analytics now. Simple, basic stats. No Jetpack.

Yesterday I wrote a blog post about the breaking change introduced in Carbon 3.x (used in Laravel 11) where all the diffIn* functions return floats now instead of integers.

8 years ago today I flew to Australia to speak at a #php conference. This was during my peak speaking run where I got on a plane at least once a month for work or to speak at a conference for 36 straight months.

@grmpyprogrammer I miss my speaking period. Need to get back into it -- although maybe not at the pace I was at my peak.

Upgrading to #Laravel 11, which removes a lot of the framework code required in your app.

The eclipse was incredible on its own. There’s no need to make AI generated art of it trying to pass it off as the real thing.

    @grivettcarnac I don't have the gear or skill to get a good shot, so just decided to live in the moment, and then admire everyone else's pics.

    I couldn’t believe how fast the last little bit of sunlight disappeared before totality.

    @redcrew so cool (literally - I should have worn a jacket)

    Worth taking the time to go see it for sure.

    @pch Nope. Figured everyone else was. Just enjoyed it IRL.
