Really proud being involved in relaunching the Tonhalle Düsseldorf website as #react #nextjs SPA with #typescript. Thanks @BitmadeOffice for letting me do a few frontend kickflips in this huge project

@pertikaer Hey thanks for the prompt reply, I am indeed using Monterey but planned on updating later this week anyways.

I will tell you if it resolves the issue :)

Hey @raycastapp, I really _love_ your integrated AI features, but are you tracking the bug that code in PHP returned from the AI is weirdly escaped?

steps to reproduce: ask "Show my a basic PHP script"

my new fav German word to remind me:

hyphenation in #css is important!

1283 Tests, 5698 Assertions. Peace of mind. 🧘‍♂️

A well tested @laravelphp project - so comforting to add features or to refactor 😍

[Simon vom Eyser @simonvomeyser]

Wow, native nesting in CSS looks cool!

The API-Design award of today, as so often, goes to #laravel

Just discovered the #laravel #testing "time travel" features, the underlying class is called "Wormhole" 😀

I know of Carbon::setTestNow... but this API is so pretty 🤩

honestly the first time I actually like (and maybe understood?) the `useReducer` hook from #reactjs.

"he most critical benefit of useReducer — the ability to supply a function that controls state transitions."

Really liked this article and the senior approach:

"Things not taught about #software #development"

by @vadim_kravcenko

- Rarely writing sth from scratch
- Domain knowledge, Value > coding skills
- Dealing w/ incompetent people, uncertainty

love the @laracasts series about #neovim by @jessarcher ... is it weird to think "I'll use my holidays to set this all up and finally go all-in-vim" ?

never thought, that there are so many pro/con arguments for the ubiquitous "www"-subdomians.

Nice article about it, even though "it all depends" - of course it does 😀

Seeing Laravel and Statamic at scale at DER SPIEGEL is so impressive

Thanks for sharing @statamic, this video is mind boggling 😀

Nice article on the "fix it later"/"fix it NOW" argument in #programming ... and a less dogmatic take on it:

“either fix it now, or be OK with it never being fixed”.

today I learned:

git push --force-with-lease

is a less scary way to "force push"

Cool take on "why everything looks the same" nowadays... it's not only websites 😀

🔥 Tailwind Tip 🔥

The <details> element takes an `open` attribute to determine if it's currently open or not.

You can use Tailwind's `open:` modifier prefix to apply styles only when the <details> element is... open 🤗

[Simon vom Eyser @simonvomeyser]

Nice, I'm now officially a Statamic "core contributor"... by fixing a link 😀😀😀

Reminder for #webdevelopers with German clients:

Replace externally embedded GoogleFonts asap and host them locally.

Is it funny to call yourself "senõr web developer" in a CV?

You know... Senior... Senõr 🤦‍♂️😀
