@Nal_uh How about if you don't have a plan? This sounds awesome, but despite many attempts, I've failed to map out my home. It's very organically grown, the original layout of the house filed with the city on building is unreadable, and the house been through many remodels and expansions

@dgarbs51_ @LaraconUS Just finished your talk. Good job! I agree. It's almost always the database. I missed Laracon US 2026 due to a birthday! haha.

@hellodeolu Have you done an animated diagram on Gateway API? https://t.co/xbxR8UixO0

@PortlandPolice Okay go again

Small but very convenient Linux hack I learned today: You can use 7z to extract files from ext2/ext3/ext4 images without the need to mount the image.

[kluctl @kluctl]

Kluctl v2.26.0 is finally ready :)

Biggest improvement is the ability to use Helm Charts that are not released via Helm Repositories or OCI Registries. You can now just refer the Git repository directly and use the Chart as is.

@kelseyhightower Additionally, I'd love if I could use that same card to authenticate online (ala YubiKey). YouTube Music keeps pausing my music because I *might* be a kid based on that I don't listen to music with cussing, and auto-play is evil for kids. Soon enough, I'll have to send them an ID

[William Lightning @kassah]

@kelseyhightower I would love to start carrying around less IDs. I have so many. A sample: drivers license, Health Insurance ID, Money IDs (Debit/Credit Cards), Library ID, Shopping IDs (Costco, Safeway, etc). Can I just be tracked by the gov't directly and have one card for everything?

@aarondfrancis We often leave messages to each other on the bathroom mirror. We also have to work together to take photos of them! She left me this one a couple of days ago. ❤️

@kelseyhightower My tech career: y2k remediation (floppy inserter) -> comp sales -> hosting provider support -> convenience store clerk -> homeless -> printer tester -> it asset reclaim (take apart comps) -> programmer -> systems architect at a nice stable company. Not fancy or smooth.

@antonarhipov I think traditional standup content can go async, but my team, we have been fully remote since just before the pandemic, and just keeping the ice breaker has kept us feeling connected.

@earthlingworks Have you looked at Zitadel self-hosted? https://t.co/73vd17tGvP

@aarondfrancis @PlanetScale My main advice is take a day or two to absorb the news. You are amazing and I imagine their will be many opportunities open to you.

That being said; I'd love to have you join my team, and I imagine I'm one of many in the industry!

@rydercalmdown Can you add #pdx @trimet MAX Trains? Looks like there is a realtime feed documented @ https://t.co/JEe9OgjTku

[William Lightning @kassah]

@taylorotwell Excited to use it!

[William Lightning @kassah]

@taylorotwell Is there a way to append a job to a batch, or simply say "make this job dependent on the completion of a previously queued job"?

[William Lightning @kassah]

@tobias_petry This is the simplified explain plan.

Users table has 43k rows
Identifiers table has 87k rows
Team Settings table has 95 rows
(only 1 row in Team Settings relevant to query)

[William Lightning @kassah]

This MySQL EXPLAIN Explained (from @tobias_petry ) just blew my mind, went from 20,000 rows handled in the users table to over 3.8 million thanks to the multiplication effect of other tables. 🤯

[William Lightning @kassah]

@tobias_petry This is the query.

[William Lightning @kassah]

@tobias_petry This is just me isolating a small part of the query, the overall original query plan was handling over 4.5 TRILLION rows.
