Weekly Journal
Last week I continued working on the recent Human Shifts. Also had a good pairing session squashing some bugs. I'll continue on the Human Shifts this week.
Izzy is transitioning from "summer camp" to "school", so she was off Monday and Tuesday. We took the opportunity to go to the lake. I always have to answer support emails, but did my best to avoid the computer otherwise. The internet and cell reception is bad, so that "helps".
This week after I'm caught up on the Human Shifts, I plan to work on the mid-cycle Shift. This is an automated update for subscribers to a Shifty Plan. It's a PR containing changes since the initial Laravel 10 release. As you see in this newsletter, a lot changes each week. So after 6 months, there's enough to ensure your Laravel 10 application is up-to-date.
🔥 Tip
I posted a massive thread on Twitter about personal finances for a solo-dev running a successful "lifestyle business". The advice has a somewhat specific target, so I'd consider some of its commentary out-of-context. Nonetheless, it contains some tips on how I've use the income from Shift. Even if you aren't running your own SaaS, it's worth a scroll.
