I think I've changed my mind about the ⚡️ for livewire 4. First look my reaction was "eww, gross" but, nah, I think I see the value. You win Caleb Porzio ⚡️ 😅

I know I can work around this by manually installing the latest version, but it would be nice to be able to use the in-place update functionality.. Interestingly, it works on my m2 macbook air, but doesn't on the m4 pro mini. The mini is running Sequoia, don't recall off hand

In looking into displaying all Laravel user sessions, when using something other than the DB session driver I found it was a recurring thing that people wanted, so I rolled a package. It uses the default DB sessions table to track the metadata (user_id, ip, user_agent, last

After nearly 9 years at OnSpot Data, I'm excited to dive into new senior software engineering opportunities (FT/PT/contract). With 20+ years of hands-on experience across diverse tech stacks (including being one of the first 12 Acquia Certified Drupal Grand Masters worldwide),

That's about the worst password validation I've come across in the wild lately. Go figure - it's a government website. No more or less than 6 characters. Worst case scenario a password that short would take ~3min to crack. With such stupid rules I wonder whether they even bother

Most/all images are failing to load for me on X today; 403 errors. Videos load fine. Just me, or this happening for others?

Laracasts is the single best investment one can make if they want to increase knowledge of Laravel and adjacent tech. I recommend it frequently, and will continue to do so forever.

Job searches and SaaS marketing fail for the same reason. Great execution. Terrible communication of value. willvincent.com/2026/01/19/wha…

Just received what I assume was a #phishing attempt on my Coinbase 🛡️ account. Phone call from some random number in texas, automated voice prompt saying an attempt to change my password just occurred, and to press one if it was NOT me. Instead, I hung up - logged into my account,

I must be doing something right, I've started receiving scammy emails from "recruiters" impersonating real people. Sorry pal, I predate the Internet, your feeble ruse will not work on me.

There's a disconnect in most tech interviews, focusing on recall & syntax over how engineers think. After years of leading development teams, I care more about how someone thinks through problems than writing code from memory under artificial pressure. willvincent.com/2026/01/27/tec…

A major international brand seeking senior engineers should probably have an application flow that does not die on a CORS error. 🤦‍♂️

If you’re hiring for senior leadership and lead with an ask for applicants to take generic aptitude tests, you’re filtering for compliance, not measuring signal. That usually selects the wrong people.

I received this phishing call today. Never heard of this person or company before, certainly never applied for a loan with them. I've reported to the FTC & Better Business Bureau's Scam Tracker. Stay vigilant, friends.

wtf Delta ? I booked my wife an I in seats 21B and C, and you decided randomly to switch us to 29c and 38D? Then when I asked about it, I was relocated into the last row of the plane so we were together again? Why'd your app let me select seats if you're not going to honor
