Weekly Journal

Last Friday I left for Laracon AU. After 23 hours of travel I arrived. I got to spend some time with Jess Archer and Tim Mac, as well as other international speakers as they arrived. We did a few touristy things, like pet a koala and hop with kangaroos. Then it was down to business preparing for my talk.

I got to speak on Blueprint. It was kind of full circle for me. I started working on Blueprint when traveling to Laracon AU 2019. So it was cool to be back in 2025 to finally demo it. In generally, I think Blueprint is an underused tool. But hey, I might be biased.

During the long travel, I worked on some features for laravelshift.com. I also broke ground on the new monthly Shifts. I may have one ready earlier than I thought. So Shifty Plan subscribers, be on the lookout December 1.

Weekly Tip

Again, I didn't write much code over the last week. But I did see the recordings from wire:live are now on YouTube. So, I recommend giving them a watch. Here are a few I enjoyed.
