Laravel Cloud is here, so I'm migrating everything I can to it. The Statamic team already shared their recommendations, and the TL;DR is to either use a DB or disable the control panel in production. I'll go the DB route 👌 statamic.dev/deploying/lara…

I manage 3 Google calendars: work, my company & personal. I used to manually copy over events to avoid double bookings until I found dontdoublebookme.com. It's a simple little microsaas that, for just $20/year, syncs all my calendars automatically. So incredibly useful!

I bought into the hype and bought one of those CO2 monitors. It arrived today, and shockingly, my office was in the danger zone 😨. I opened the windows and turned on my fan, and after a few minutes it went into the safe zone. Can't believe I was breathing poison for so long!

Starting a new Laravel project with my friend Matt Farley ⚓️. After defining the db schema, I had to create models, migrations, controllers, etc. This VSCode plugin REALLY sped up the process and worked perfectly in Cursor. marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName…

I'm diving deeper into PHP and wanted to memorize the most popular functions so I added an Anki deck (PHP - Top 100 functions) to my favorite flashcards app: Mochi. Mochi is a dream for developers: supports spaced repetition, AI, markdown, keyboard shortcuts & more!

I discovered this desktop app that lets you play Steam games on your Mac over the weekend, and I love it! Paired with my Apple Studio Display and M3 Max processor, the games look so freaking good 😍 . codeweavers.com/crossover

After surgery and 10 days of recovery, I'm finally back! Nothing life-threatening, thankfully, but stuff that needed to be done. Now I'm back to work on @tailwindweekly, Codelier, and a cool project I secretly launched on the last issue of @tailwindweekly 😄

Tailwind Tip 🔥 Use `size-4` (or a higher number) for perfectly square SVG icons, including heroicons! And always set the `viewBox` attribute for best results. Perfect for when you want to align multiple icons vertically.

I had to translate a massive style guide into code today, and the new Gemini model did it on the first try! I just pasted a Figma screenshot in cursor and gave format examples for the utility classes. A 2h+ task turned into 30m 😄

Tailwind Tip 🔥 Working with the default Tailwind CSS colors is great, but for some projects, you may have your own color palette. If you only want to see your own colors in the autocomplete, then just add this to your `@ theme` config: `--color-*: initial;`

This happened yesterday in my city and it's been a terrible 36 hours to say the least. The dead count increases by the hour. Please hug your loved ones tonight and pray for the families in this tragedy. May the Lord have mercy on them. cnn.com/2025/04/08/ame…

Whenever I need motivation to work more on my side projects I like to browse the timeline on wip.co. Very inspiring to see so many people consistently working on their thing!

I have been testing the new OpenAI v4.1 model on Cursor, and it's very impressive 🤯 . Right now, it's free on Cursor while they test it out, so it would be a good time to try a trial!

Had my monthly financial meeting with my biz partner & she asked why I buy so many different AI API credits 😂 I said that every 3-4 months, there's a new coding model that's miles ahead of everything else and a game changer for some tasks. What a time to be alive ✌️

I can vouch for Shruti Balasa! Her educational contributions to the Tailwind CSS community have been invaluable, and her books are a joy to read. Definitely one of the best educators in the dev community 🙌🏻
