Laravel programmer, occasionally write some PHP too, and a mess of Javascript. Oh, and lots of YAML for my k8s.
Performance aside, MySQL not keeping up with Postgres in the features race is one of the sadder storylines of the last 10 years of my career.

not sure on electricity usage, but presumably he paid for his tokens to do it

I like to think we gave up incandescent bulbs for led as the sacrifice to power this new revolution of computing.

@ramsey I'm sure he weighed the tradeoffs. In 4 days he'd done work he put off for 4 years and in the process made the library better and closed out 50+ issues.

A library I've always:

https://github.com/smwks/superprocess

This library gives you a fluent interface around all the tasks necessary to make a supervisord-like/master-worker/multi-worker/forking process command.

Inspiration for this came from me wanting laravel horizon's worker supervision code as a separate library. Feedback welcome.

@manchuck @Crell @freekmurze ah yes, defragging drives... the soundtrack to computing in the 90's.

8.5 years into this espresso machine, and we've had 2 close calls. First was remedied by replacing the grinder. Yesterday had to do deep surgery to clear out a blocked internal tube from the heater to the milk/water steamer...

Successful surgery and now onward to espresso number 10,000

@Crell @freekmurze competition between open source libraries is alive and well! 😉

@Crell @freekmurze ... but this doesn't appear to have any dependencies on Laravel? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

New in 2026: AI orchestration apps are the new TODO apps.

Seems like everyone is writing one. All very different- not many similar approaches, massively different perspectives..

Everyone wants to get to gas town in their own vehicle on their own highway.

@manchuck damn chuck, I'm sorry for your loss. my dad passed in December. losing a parent is tough. 🙏
