After nearly 2 months reworking Laravel for proper horizontal auto-scaling on Render, I finally made it work and open-sourced the solution as a Laravel package.

With one install, it:

✅ Dockerizes your Laravel app
✅ Makes it stateless & load-balancer ready
✅ Separates web + worker services
✅ Aligns with auto-scaling platforms
✅ no Kubernetes knowledge required

Laravel powers a massive ecosystem of production applications globally, and I noticed there wasn’t a dedicated Laravel scaling reference for Render — so I built one.

It can also help when deploying Laravel to other auto-scaling platforms like Laravel Cloud, https://t.co/DDC1qtRo6N, Railway, AWS ECS, and Google's GKE.

Repo: https://t.co/TN4RNWPA29

Would love feedback from the @Render team and the broader Laravel community.

How Ports Work in Computer Networking (Explained Simply)

[Richard Oluwamayowa @Olaogun_]

Hello @LCFC

I’m Olaogun, a winger also played as a striker from Nigeria. I’ve spent the last 3 years training daily to get one shot at professional football.

I’m not asking for a contract. I’m asking for 7 days on trial to show you what I can do. If I’m not good enough, I’ll walk away with no hard feelings.

I’m fast, direct, and I work harder than anyone on the pitch.

My highlights are here: https://t.co/nD68FCLsMn

Thanks,
Olaogun

How to make your engineering job application stand out (from the perspective of someone looking at hundreds of resumes):

1. Your resume should be one page. If you really need more space, link to a website. You don't need 10+ bullets for each job.

2. You will immediately stand out >90% of applications if you link a personal website that has some intentionality behind it.

3. If you are going to link your X, you might want to clean up your posts? Seems obvious but... people post some wild stuff.

4. You should link your GitHub. Please avoid doing a profile README that looks like a MySpace profile with the badges and images. I'm trying to look at code and your ability to build interesting ideas.

5. You should try to customize your application to the company. If you're applying to a startup, the courses you took in college probably don't matter as much. Maybe more if you're trying to make it through the ATS screening for FAANG.

6. I'm seeing a surprising number of resumes which don't talk about AI or agents at all. Software engineering is changing and it's a pretty fair assumption that you will be expected to learn or understand coding with AI for your job. That should be reflected on your resume and projects (and I'm not just saying this because I'm at Cursor).

7. Take your LinkedIn seriously. Most devs are here hanging out on X but surprisingly still most people will send around your LinkedIn internally.

8. Find ways to show your unique strengths/tastes/interests. It's nice to see people are smart, well-rounded, and thoughtful. Maybe this is a collection of books you enjoyed and why. Or some writing you've done. Or films you liked. At the end of the day, people want to work with other people they like and respect. If nothing else, it will be a good conversation starter ("oh I love [book] as well!").

9. Do not use AI to write your cover letter or resume text. It's incredibly obvious, especially if you are applying to an AI company. You can still use it to ideate on ideas or phrases, but write it by hand (don't fall victim to the overused in-the-distribution-AI-phrases). See: /humanizer skill.

10. No photos on resumes. Save those for whatever you link out to.

11. Quality over quantity. 3 really good, thoughtful, detailed, interesting projects versus a wall of 27 AI-slop ones.

Remember that hiring managers / recruiters are getting hundreds or thousands of applications for a role. They're not going to spend 20 minutes on every single application. You need to cut the cruft and get to the point. I hope this helps you stand out!

@OoTheNigerian I worked at Microsoft and Andela and was told at Moniepoint that I'm way over budget. This was after taking a massive pay cut after my Microsoft layoff.

Tosin and co don't want to pay the requisite cost for senior talent but choose to complain.

[Providence Ifeosame @ProvyDon1]

Adewuyi Tamilore @TamiloreAdewuyi you are a bastard and a fool. just say you no get money to pay properly, no dey yarn dust.

White people i don't know from anywhere hire me remotely from USA, Europe, etc and pay me thousands of dollars and don't discriminate where i am bcus based on merit, i am a World Class Software Engineer and get the Job done.

but you, bcus u want Nigerians to remain poor ure promoting this stinking mentality ...make God protect Nigerians from these types of people who don’t see Nigerian talent as world class and won’t Pay Nigerians what they deserve. 🙏🏽

One tip to finding your style:

Choose designs you’ve seen on people with a similar size and body structure as yours. It gives a more accurate expectation of fit and proportion.

A size 20 will not wear an outfit the same way a size 6 does, even if it’s a bubu.
