For the first time in my life I am quoted as a reason for leaving a technology.

PHP is a tool like any other. If it doesn't solve your problems, then smart move on switching. I know it solves a lot of problems for a lot of people and companies; and is has nothing to do with me.

.@harrisrafto launched Aegis for Laravel live on stage at Laravel Japan!

@bradenkeith I'm going to stop you right there. You don't know how many YouTube videos I've watched and still feel like a dumbass. 😵‍💫

[Eric L. Barnes @ericlbarnes]

Video friends, is there an app that is easier to color grade in than DaVinci? It's too powerful and has too many settings for my newbie skills. 👀

@alexandersix_ Interesting! Most of the good stuff here is allocated, and the ABC stores tend to hide it, so you have to ask, or it's instantly sold.
