The Command and Conquer source code was open sourced today and it's full of amazing comments 😂

Exhibit A: The "we will fix it later" You gotta give your (ex)colleagues some credit too!

Let's try something new!

I saw this in my timeline today.
You can run JS code right from your GitHub issues by mentioning "robobun" followed by the code.

So obviously, my initial reaction is: It would be cool if we could make this work with PHP 🤯

Let's try and build this 🧵 First of all, we need a GitHub username that we can mention...
Tinkerwell is already taken...
So is "artisan" (obviously).
phptinker is still available - let's go with that.

At @getsendstack we tried a lot of existing content/email/markdown editors. We wanted something that we would absolutely LOVE to use ourselves. But nothing really felt quite right. There were always too many trade-offs that we had to make.
Follow me into the WYSIWYG rabbit hole🐰 Pure Markdown editors are cool, but have you ever tried to link an image in a pure markdown editor like EasyMDE?

We all know console.log – but there's a lot more to the DevTools console than you might know!

Developers, get to know your terminal!

Blade, the powerful template engine in @laravelphp has some amazing features that will help you save keystrokes and time.

It offers custom directives, if conditions, view components, and much more...

Here are some of my tips 🧵 Make use of the built-in "includeWhen" and "includeUnless" directives to get rid of those ugly if conditions.

🚀 Over the years I've written a lot of Eloquent queries in @laravelphp

Here's a collection of tips on how you can improve the performance/readability/maintainability of those queries.

🧵 Use the "chunk" or "cursor" method when looping over large datasets

There is SO much work involved in creating and giving great conference or meetup talks.

A thread 👇

1. Find an interesting topic/talk title 💡

Talk about the things that you are passionate about. Still, narrowing it down so that it can be condensed to a talk, can be tricky. 2. Create a structured outline for your talk 📝

I start out my talks by creating a short outline of the topic and the key points that I want to come across. I ask myself: with what kind of feeling do I want people to go out of my session?

A lot of times, I get asked how we at @beyondcode can be so productive.

Here are my tips taken from years of releasing new video courses, developer tools or exciting open source software.

A thread: 💆‍♂️ Peace of mind

Got a deadline for a client project? Stressful clients?

Good luck with your side projects.

You can’t prevent this entirely, but (if possible) try to choose your clients wisely, to reduce possible problems when working together.
