Milton didn't even buy me dinner first. :(

Milton’s track evolution is evolving slightly different than modeled — last night & this morning it tracked right (south) of forecast, but failed to turn right as quickly as models depicted and is now deviating left (north) of forecast.

There's some cool stuff in the latest Laravel release (see thread!) but I am WICKED excited for this.
Replying to @taylorotwell
The Concurrency facade allows you to fan out closures to child PHP processes for concurrent execution. Fork and "sync" drivers are also provided. Concurrent closure execution can also be deferred. ⌛ laravel.com/docs/11.x/concur…

The job market is definitely as bad as people say it is. Out of 122 applications, I've had 2 interviews and 6 rejections. Most aren't even getting back to me 😬 Feels like 2008 again.

You've got a long-running background job with multiple steps. How do you keep your users in the loop to let them know how things are going? New video up where I walk through one way you might do this in @LaravelLivewire with wire:poll and a neat trick to dynamically poll. 😉

I wanted to add a reporting feature to something at work and went through a process of wire framing->mocking in Invision->user interviews->MVP->feedback->repeat for 2 years :D
Anyone, from my vast audience... I need 5 examples where idea validation worked. I have 898182e112 examples where "Just Fucking build the thing" worked. #php #Laravel

I’m not even gonna lie to y’all we used to do this when I worked at a stable. It smells like chemicals and tastes like expired apple Mio but we weren’t hungover 🤷‍♀️

Never buying Gatorade again. 5lb bucket of fucking horse electrolytes from tractor supply. Never getting hungover again or being iron deficient. I am the #boss . Sipping on half of a horse dose and I feel great. My skin is fucking tingling.

There is absolutely no better place to start learning Laravel (or PHP for that matter) than with @jeffrey_way at @laracasts This is exactly where I started my Laravel journey 8 years ago. Best $9 I've ever spent
