Happy New Year! I hope it brings good fortune and happiness to everyone.

Not to be a party pooper, but I’m personally just not feeling it. The year changing has lost its luster or meaning for me.

@josh I'm not sure if I’m surprised or not. Looks and seems legit though, so crossing my fingers and hoping for the best.

@andrewfeeney wasn’t that. It was like a system, I want to say one of the letters was an A. Really wish I hadn’t lost that tab now

I read an article this year about a note or writing organization method they spoke to me.. and I can’t find the article. Only remember it was three words, and I think it was the Wired white and black UI.

Gahhhhhhhhh

@Crell instructions unclear, put my head through the drywall again

@nunomaduro I saw the comment about supporting Mercure officially. Is there any room there for community contributions to make that happen?

@taylor_atx I don’t have personal recommendations, but my $dayJob is a service for finding contractors for this exact type of work.

@chris No, admittedly sub-tooting someone from another tech Slack group.

@josh I think the librarian blog makes some good points and call outs, but ultimately they even point out how small of a drop in the bucket their decision is

in reply to @josh

@josh Outside of how to research more efficiently from librarians, yea could also do without both and be pretty much fine as well.

in reply to @josh

DHH blogging about his views and reasons for being against DEI, etc.: Ok, fine, totally acceptable.

Librarians blogging about dropping Basecamp because of the leaderships views? Not allowed, is just “higher education bending over backwards to be morally superior”, higher education circle jerking, and petty.

Alrighty then 😒😶🫠

@ajroach42 @elazar id just build and write whatever software I wanted, whenever I wanted. Followed by things that make me happy

@RyanHyde @ramsey can you use chrome based extensions in Arc?

I’d love to drop Chromium based browsers all together, but an extension I heavily rely on is only for chromium browsers. Braves been my replacement, It apparently it’s shit or problematic too?

@mergesort how did you get into these? Been waiting almost a year to gain access to even plugin development :/

Day two of ends in karaoke. I got to finish the night with Sway by Michael Buble, 6 man sing not American Pie, group singing Bohemian Rhapsody in a way that would make Queen proud.

I love this community so much. I only hope I can give back as much everyone else puts in.

A lot of us sing Bohemian Rhapsody at . It was glorious, and all of us PHP developers clearly showed Queen how it really goes.

Not to brag, but I got to do karaoke with @ramsey @stevegrunwell @Crell @dabernathy89 and Ryan at singing American Pie. And now I’m watching @ian sing Mr. Brightside. This is what you’re missing not attending @longhorn.

Jealous? You should come next year to join in the fun 😉

A huge shout out to @grmpyprogrammer for making this years speaker dinner happen. Appreciative doesn’t even cover the amount of gratitude I and the organizer have for this.

Day One of in the bag. Excited to be putting on another conference this year, and ready for the next two days of fun, learning, and networking
