Easy fix! Just don't close it and keep shipping! Several days into the new update from @aarondfrancis and loving workspaces more and more. Starting to explore more features to improve my workflow.

Thank you @aarondfrancis! Workspaces and separate windows for Solo is flawless! The v0.10 update immediately made my workflow easier. Now I just need to learn more of those juicy hotkeys.

What if you could run 6 months of your SaaS's life in 6 minutes? Signups, churn, billing cycles, failed payments — all driven by your actual app code, over accelerated time. Then flip a switch and pound those same flows under real load. Break them on purpose — kill the payment gateway mid-run, choke the cache, back up the queue — and watch how your app actually behaves. Not synthetic traffic hitting API endpoints. Your real services, your real jobs, your real database. Load tools tell you when you fall over, this tells you why — and hands you months of realistic data on the way there. What started out as an internal tool for myself has grown into a hefty package. Slow cooking this one to perfection after I finish up a few other tasks, but curious to see who's interested in it.

If only I had listened to all the folks who told me that building apps with PHP was a bad idea... then i wouldn't be having the best time of my life There's so many folks who just regurgitate received "wisdom" 🤷‍♂️ You can forge your own path

For those unaware, at The Vibes @johnmkoster announced and demoed a secret project he has been working on for MONTHS called Tesseract. This will be an all-in-one debugging+ desktop app for SuperNative mobile apps+... Sends me this tonight... He calls it "stress testing" @nativephp ... with an RPG! 🔥

Everyone's talking about using agents to write code. But how do you make sure you're still growing along the way? At @LaraconUS, I talked about using AI not just to build software, but to build your own understanding. youtube.com/watch?v=au9bIQsr…

10k installs in the last 30days? Wow... I'm extremely honored that devs are giving artisanflow.dev a shot. I just tagged the latest release v0.2.1-alpha with plans to tag v1 stable very soon. Shipped a ton of changes including two new addons: workflow & schema. I'll be adding detailed examples on how to use them soon. Seriously though, thank you. @Alpine_JS @LaravelLivewire

At the Vibes for @nativephp I debuted two plugins I've been working on, along with apps to show them off. One in particular was a live chart, but it didn't quite show off just how fast NativePHP really is. So here you go! @laravel @official_php

Ok @laravel community, serious questions for you now that we're all coming off the high of @LaraconUS... How is your mental health? How are your relationships? My wife Amy recently attended some events around Laracon with me and got to meet and talk with several interesting people. Amy has over 25 years of experience in the mental health field and something stood out to her. While we're all excited to be around each other, sharing in the excitement, and soaking up the comradery, the stresses of family life at home and work don't just melt away. We are driven individuals with a passion and that usually means something else in our lives takes a backseat. That "something else" can be different for everyone, but for a lot of us it's relationships; our spouse, family, or our friends. Amy wanted me to encourage all of you to try your best to take a breath before you get back to work. Hug the people closest to you for longer than usual, and spend time with them. Recharge your soul before you jump back in. She's feeling called to start a blog to dive deeper on her experience of "loving a developer and understanding the world they live in", which I fully support. I couldn't have gotten this far without her and if her experience and expertise helps even 1 person, then mission accomplished. Laracon was amazing and I wish all of you the best. I too hope you all find time to recharge so that we can be the best at what we do, but more importantly be the best for the people that love us.

So thankful I got to be a part of the Vibes! @simonhamp and @ShaneDRosenthal have clearly been cooking a full course meal for all of us. The future of mobile app development will remember this day as the turning point. @nativephp is awesome!
Yesterday was one of those moments I’ll never forget. Over 100 people came to The Vibes’ first-ever in-person @nativephp event, where we officially launched NativePHP v4: SuperNative. 🚀 What started as an idea has grown into an incredible community of people who believe in making Laravel a first-class platform for native mobile development. Seeing so many of you in one room was both humbling and inspiring. To everyone who attended, contributed, supported us, or has been following the journey—thank you. We’re just getting started. #Laravel #PHP #NativePHP #SuperNative
