#laracon — Public Fediverse posts

Last week I went to #Laracon in Boston where I got to meet a lot of coworkers in person for the first time. There were a ton of great talks, from informative, to entertaining, to hilarious, to inspiring. By the end of the week I was exhausted (missing my flight home and spending an extra 11 hours at the airport didn't help), but it was a great time. If you get the chance to go to a Laracon I highly recommend it!

Is anyone I know going to #Laracon tomorrow?

Back from #LaraconEU—my favorite talks were
– "Effective Code Reviews: What NOT to Do" by the one and only Luke Kuzmish
– "Write better abstractions: Lessons from an import system" by @danharrin

I definitely recommend checking these out once they are uploaded on the LaraconEU YouTube channel

Favourite talks from day 1 at #LaraconEU:

* @danharrin’s talk on building better abstractions…I learned a strategy on more effective error message and was reminded about a ideasthat I need to get back in to

* @ryangjchandler's talk on handling the unhappy path, which is something I forget often, need to get better at it.

* @simonhamp's talk on using PHP to build native mobile apps. What he and Shane have built enable devs like me to actually build mobile apps for clients.

Best talk so far on day 2 at #LaraconEU was Pete Heslop on how to apply real world UX from restaurants, airports, and hospitals to create better software.

Ok, wife and I have been watching Knife Edge on Apple TV. Now I wanna eat at Michelin starred restaurants.

I’m going to Amsterdam in March (#laracon #laraconEU) anyone eaten at any of these? Recommendations?

Hanging out with my @statamic peeps in Denver after Laracon and learn that Derek Trucks is playing at Red Rocks tomorrow.

I naturally move my flight out and grab a ticket on StubHub.

How could I pass up a great band at one of the best outdoor concert venues in North America?

One of my favorite parts of watching my first #Laracon the last two days is just how infectious the “just build things” mantra is! Definitely came away more inspired to learn and build cool things, whether or not they see the light of day outside of my local dev environment.

If I had more energy I would have live tweeted the #Laracon talks. I am so wiped this week. I hope some Ruby devs go watch the talks once they're online and borrow some ideas for Rails and Hanami though. :)

Taylor Otwell takes the stage at #Laracon to cap off day 1 on Tuesday. What a crowd.

Home from #Laracon a bit early. It was great reconnecting and meeting new folks. Laravel is killing it. <3

Well I'm definitely sold on Livewire 4 after that talk at #Laracon! Can't wait for its release (I do wish Caleb gave a loose outline for a timeline for release, but everything else in that talk was great).

While I'm not at #laracon #Valkey's on the roadmap during the keynote for is super cool.
