I write code. Mostly for the web. When not doing that I play games. You can find me at @thecrowdedgroup.

@netflix Can’t wait to participate in paying for this through increased subscription costs!

@aarondfrancis How did you pull this off with two sets of twins!?

@David_J_Bier I disagree with Trump on almost everything and I am celebrating this decision.

@marcelpociot @laravelphp That’s good because I’d be screwed if it didn’t 😀

@adamwathan Definitely no bubble here. No sir

@jackmcdade I’ve sold sites on the premise that WordPress is “free and awful” and Statamic “isn’t free but isn’t awful” and also the fact that I can do stuff faster in Statamic it actually costs less.

Someday I might just pay for the license since it would make my life easier

@calebporzio @taylorotwell My only question is: Are you going to Chuck E. Cheese’s?

[DHH @dhh]

AI demonstrates the sunk-cost fallacy perfectly: Just one more "this doesn't work!" prompt, you think, and it'll fix it!! But often it won't, and now you've wasted 30 minutes begging that you could have spent learning how to actually fucking do it yourself.

@samlambert It makes me sad to say this, but sometimes this still is

@AskPayPal I’m getting bombarded with fraudulent payment requests. I am forwarding to [email protected] but I want to stop these altogether. This is absolutely ridiculous that PayPal facilitates attempted fraud at this level. How can I make these stop?

@MattRudkinWX I have Bluesky but I am having trouble finding the people I want to follow there. It should get better over time as more people start to make the switch.

[ThePrimeagen @ThePrimeagen]

i am increasingly skeptical of open source that is directly tied with vc

[Josh Pennington @joshpennington]

@andrewfromtx Also notice me not calling you out for not disclosing that you are the creator of a competing WP shopping plugin. I didn’t do that because I was able to get that information myself by going to the obvious source of that information (ie your profile description)

[Josh Pennington @joshpennington]

@andrewfromtx The good thing about open source is that people can review the code. To say there was zero disclosure given doesn’t make sense to me. Also I’d file this under “no duh” because if I made a plugin I would also have put my affiliate link in there. Nothing is free.

@enunomaduro Billing by the hour

@ThePrimeagen @taylorotwell Your talk was inspiring and it was awesome to meet you in person and shake your hand.

[Josh Pennington @joshpennington]

@ThePrimeagen I dunno. I'm pretty used to living indoors.

I can’t think of anyone who wants to be president less than Michelle Obama and that’s why she’d be perfect as president

@UPS Your driver was like a block from my house with my temperature sensitive VISION SAVING MEDICINE that I have to pay $600 for out of pocket and then all of a sudden your driver bailed out of delivering it. Absolute insanity!!! This is the second day in a row you've done this.
