Some people have actually been buying some of my designs off #redbubble in the past few days. And it's not just my parents... although they are very supportive.

If you want to give me small amounts of money in order to wear some things that I find funny: https://t.co/JrgJZNl9Dq

@gonedark That's the right call. The Vimeo SDK is pretty much just a terrible wrapper around Guzzle with very little extra effort except for setting the auth header.

@LiamHammett Can you use a form request class _as_ an invokable controller? Controllers themselves aren't technically special classes - all of the magic happens in the router/service layer.

@timacdonald87 @phpstan I feel like `#[\Override]` is doing a lot of heavy lifting there, and is probably signalling to phpstan that it's completely fine that the interface has changed.

Which it shouldn't, because that's the entire point of interfaces.

It's @triplej #hottest100 day! Let's find out how out of touch the youths are with good music!

@ninjaparade @jeffrey_way My phpstan.neon goes to 11...

@marcelpociot Tilix or Kitty is where I'm at these days. Gotta love the tiling.

[Sam Levy @ImSamLevy]

@enunomaduro The means of production! (and staging)

[Sam Levy @ImSamLevy]

@doctormcdougall At least Kathy acknowledges that her world view is Krazy.

[Stephen Rees-Carter @valorin]

I've been considering this for a while, so it's time to throw it out into the world...

@_joshhanley @mattstauffer @branickweix When you're looking for a job it's a bad idea to list yourself as specific to any specific framework, unless you don't NEED the work, and you're trying to find work in a specific framework.

[Sam Levy @ImSamLevy]

@michaeldyrynda You can only put public methods in an interface, so you can't hint at a private (or protected) set method. In theory just defining the get means that the interface says that it can be read, but doesn't define write behaviour, so you can't rely on writing.

@RowdyRabouw It's an AI conference. You really expect Humans to be in charge of any of that?

[Sam Levy @ImSamLevy]

Last night I spoke at the @Laravel worldwide meetup about the "magic" in Laravel.

And you can watch it now, on YouTube!

@michaeldyrynda @MidgetK To your actual question, though, @michaeldyrynda - yes, I've used a few recently that have variations on returning a 200 with an error code in the body.

I've resolved it variously through Saloon middleware, Laravel Data, and a few other ways depending on the API.

[Sam Levy @ImSamLevy]

@michaeldyrynda @MidgetK Hey, my APIs have zero complaints, EVER.

Someone would have to use them in order to complain, so I just prevent that, and we're golden.
