@davatron5000 @chriscoyier Enjoying today’s episode 👍

BTW, you weren’t too far off with Laravel. Forge is their bring-your-own-backend (i.e. AWS). They’re about to launch their own hosting platform too… https://cloud.laravel.com

Laravel Cloud

Deploy and scale Laravel applications without managing servers. Built-in autoscaling, databases, caching, and security. Get started in under 60 seconds with zero configuration needed.

@davatron5000 I enjoyed reading “My little games workshop”. I’ve been tinkering with game dev this year and hope to build a full (small) game next year.

I get sticking with web tech for using existing skills. Have you looked at Godot? I’ve been using that as I wanted something approachable that was able to export an installable game. Their built in script language is very Python-esque and you can build 2D and 3D games in the engine. Plus open source which is nice.

@davatron5000 I enjoyed today’s @shoptalkshow on web components. Made me want to properly dive in - I’ve been meaning to for a long time.

Gotta ask though… Lit, Stencil, Fast?! 🤣

Lit looks like it’s got nice DX, but it feels kinda weird to have to load a library to make them work. That’s why I’m leaning towards Stencil which I believe compiles to plain web components, but nobody talks about it.

@shoptalkshow @davatron5000 @chriscoyier Looking forward to the thanksgiving episode 😉🦃

What about display:tetris; 😁

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate!

A Tesla whistle blower was fired after raising concerns about the safety of Tesla's Autopilot driver-assistance software and has leaked thousands of accident reports.

Anyone who's watched Elon running Twitter into the ground while also unmasking his far right tendencies is probably not surprised that Tesla cut corners on safety and retaliates against anyone who complains.

It's stunning to me how many people keep buying Tesla's each month and put their lives in his hands
