Weekly Journal

Last week was still a bit of catching up. I did livestream applying some of my Cloudflare caching strategies to confidentlaravel.com. Got it caching up to 78%.

Otherwise I deployed some more tweaks and features for laravelshift.com. I also migrated gotes.io (previous release.new). The .new domain was crazy expensive. And this side-project never gained much traction. But I still use it to generate release notes for my open source projects.

This week is short with the Thanksgiving festivities. I will sneak in a quick livestream tomorrow though to continue optimizing confidentlaravel.com.

No Deals

No deals this year. Shift is offered at an incredible value already, and, aside from BaseCode, my course have become a bit dated.

But... to that point, I am working on a new course - Fast Laravel. You may have guessed from all the Cloudfare research I've been doing the last few months. And, while not an immediate Black Friday deal, the only way to buy the course at a discount is to be on the early access list.
