@maisonnatmax Exactly, I mean we could have build a customizar drop down from the begining that would be my second option, the first would be choosing a ui library that has everything we need from day 0

[Rogerio Pereira @rpereira_dev]

A whole UI library. We used one component from it: the dropdown.
PrimeNG goes paid in v22, so last week I rebuilt it with Angular and Bootstrap, the stack we already had.

[Rogerio Pereira @rpereira_dev]

Wrote a new goal last week with SMART: a number, a deadline, a real reason.
To get there, freelance is back in my evenings and weekends.

@DenisCerednice1 Backup
I have Claude (My primary tool) and ChatGPT (backup)

[Rogerio Pereira @rpereira_dev]

Found out last week that my work was praised in a meeting I wasn't in. I'm very happy about my work being recognized.

[Rogerio Pereira @rpereira_dev]

Software people use for hours every day should feel light and easy.
I hope the refactor starting after November gets to the frontend too.

[Rogerio Pereira @rpereira_dev]

Lowercase table names are my preference.
Last week I still recommended keeping a database in uppercase, because other applications depend on those names.
Personal style loses to compatibility.

[Rogerio Pereira @rpereira_dev]

One form, many requests: the app saves to the database every time you leave a field.
It works. It's still on my list for the refactor.

[Rogerio Pereira @rpereira_dev]

A Laravel app full of raw SQL doesn't mean a bad developer.
The one I work on was rewritten into Laravel from another system, probably on a short deadline.
Copying the queries over is faster than refactoring them.

[Rogerio Pereira @rpereira_dev]

I have room for freelance projects again, evenings and weekends.
Landing page $400. Website with admin panel $1,500.
Dev or automation $50/h. Consulting $60/h. Content $350/month: 4 blog articles, 4 LinkedIn posts, 28 X posts.

This is my VibeCoding playlist
Something with the beats flowing like a relaxed breathing combined with the nature sound drives me very creative

@komal_uk01 depends on my surrounding
if there are noise arround me (specially loud conversation), then music
if there's silence arround me then silence

[Rogerio Pereira @rpereira_dev]

Last week a database migration renamed every table and column to lowercase, and the backend broke.
I switched one method to lowercase names. It worked, and that confirmed the cause.
Before you change everything, change one thing and test it.

[Rogerio Pereira @rpereira_dev]

One part of this work I really like: turning an idea into something real, from zero.

[Rogerio Pereira @rpereira_dev]

What's one small habit that made you a better developer?
Not a tool. Not a course. A habit.
Mine: code review with other people. I love talking through my work with them.

[Rogerio Pereira @rpereira_dev]

@taylorotwell cool, i was thinking the same, thanks for confirming

[Rogerio Pereira @rpereira_dev]

hi @taylorotwell i have a question about Laravel cloud + scale to zero + octane

When an instance is set up to scale to zero, having octane active will wake up the instances from time to time, so octane stays in memory?
or can i have both enabled at the same time?

[Rogerio Pereira @rpereira_dev]

@themishra4402 LOL

git commit -am "(WIP) work of the week"

[Rogerio Pereira @rpereira_dev]

I like writing things down.
The #BulletJournal method puts my whole week in a list I can see at once.
