Hi @BethesdaSupport, I have support ticket (260527-002159) that has been waiting for agent response since May 27. The ticket was escalated and I’m just hoping to get a status update. Thanks.

Can't say enough good things about our service from @MediacomCable. Symmetrical speeds coming soon?

[Taylor Otwell @taylorotwell]

The todo application. 😅

But, seriously, here's the thing...

When Laravel and Rails developers say "full stack", they mean something totally different than when Next or Remix (React Router?) developers say "full stack".

In Laravel and Rails, it means there are built-in, opinionated solutions to things like validation, interacting with a database, authenticating users, scheduling background work, sending an email.

In Next and Remix, it seems to mean that there is simply the bare ability to run code on the server at all and an advertisement for Clerk. 🙃

From my perspective, Next and others are really, really great at the GET part of web development. Get data from some backend, show it on the page quickly. 👌

They are not mature for POST, PUT, and DELETE, especially when things start getting non-trivial.

And, I don't think this is really unique to Next or a single framework. It's something that seems to pervade current JavaScript as a whole - note the current proliferation of "starter kits" that try to bring some sanity to the full-stack story.

I think this has had actual consequences in the JavaScript ecosystem...

Rails and Laravel were built with the express purpose of allowing a single developer to build the next GitHub... or the next AirBnb... or the next Shopify. Prototyped from beginning to end.

That's what I'm passionate about. Empowering a single developer or small team to build something amazing.

I built the 1.0 of Laravel Forge, Envoyer, Vapor, Spark, and the backend of Nova by myself.

$40M in revenue over 10 years from my home office. That's an empowering tool for a solo founder.

I don't see a full-stack story in JavaScript yet that would allow me to realistically sit down and build something like Forge or Vapor from start to finish. Maybe I'm missing it. 🤷‍♂️

The MVP start-ups I do see fully built on current JS meta frameworks are much thinner. The stereotypical API call to an AI service. Not much meat on the bones.

Laravel / Rails have been building their modern front end story with Hotwire, Livewire, Inertia, and more... Next and others are building their modern back end story.

Smart people on both sides working on these problems, so I'm confident we'll both get to where we want to go. 💪

@HCR_Official_ what’s the best way to get tech support for iOS? Made an in app purchase and not only did it not unlock items, but it also reset my progress.

[Will Vandergrift @Vandergrift625]

@Fingersoft I’m needing help with a micro transaction in Hill Climb that was successfully charged but didn’t unlock in the game.

@dovetailgames Who should I reach out to in regards to an issue I’m having where certain DLC doesn’t show up in game on Steam? After installing Steam on a new machine, I’m only able to access a small percentage of the DLC that Steam shows as installed.

@EdwardO00240428 @MediacomSupport @MediacomCable Sorry you’re having issues with Mediacom. I complained on Twitter enough about getting service to my house so I thought I should post the good news too. I use an Arris modem with an Orbi mesh router and have had great luck with it.

[Will Vandergrift @Vandergrift625]

@MediacomCable Thank you for providing amazing home internet service for us. That is all.

@CBS blocking Rudolph on streaming services?

@UPS Sent.

[Will Vandergrift @Vandergrift625]

@UPS Hoping you can help get an issue resolved. I've called UPS customer support twice about a package that was delivered but still shows as in transit. No resolution yet and I don't get paid until delivery is confirmed by you.

Using a combination of object detection and Euclidean distance to filter out noise, and determine the source of a motion event.
