Just Lowe's casually inventing time travel to deliver my fridge in -2 days...
After a few days with the AirPods Pro 3 (upgrading from AirPods 3/Sony XM4) here's my thoughts as a traditional hearing aids wearer:
- sound quality is way better than AP3
- ANC is great, better than AP3/XM4
- as hearing aids, they are functional. Audio doesn't sound natural, but is amplified well.

With a bit of work, I now have the Beacon Metrics test suite up to 90% with tests running across SQLite, PostgreSQL, and MySQL.
I think we're getting close to a 1.0 release!
In case you missed it, full documentation can be found at metrics.beacon-hq.dev
Feedback welcome!
I just published full documentation for Beacon Metrics, metrics.beacon-hq.dev
It still needs more tests before a release — coverage is only 36% right now, although most of it is alias methods.
Main question is should I add the ability to get trends keyed by date?
When your side project spawns another side project…
Introducing Beacon Metrics, a package Laravel app metrics. Handles aggregate values, compare to previous period, and trends using a simple fluent API.
Still needs more tests before release, feedback appreciated!
In case you missed it earlier today, I'm excited to share the first video preview of Beacon, a Feature Flag Management Platform for #Laravel. Beacon provides a central place for managing Pennant feature flag configurations across all of your Laravel apps

@nunomaduro.com showed off Windsurf from Codeium the other day (codeium.com/windsurf), I preferred it over Cursor, but mainly just use Github Copilot in phpstorm.

That's 10 years in developer advocacy for you! If a feature isn't documented, it doesn't exist.
I could do with some more intro and tutorial/how-to docs, but as a reference it's pretty complete I hope!
I just released Bag 2.5 with added support for Optional Properties. Really happy with how this turned out!
You can read the docs at bagvalueobjects.com/...

Yeah, I'm not going to any countries that are anti-LGBTQ+… and now I seem to find myself living in one as an immigrant. I am unlikely to have any issues in the real world but I'm considering my public words very carefully right now as I figure out my risk.
I watched this last week and forgot about it until you said something.
Let's not forget that the lead actor is a shitheel though. www.themarysue.com/chris-pratt-...
This is so awful, in general and for you specifically. I'm sorry. 😞
Excited for Optional support being added to Bag in the forthcoming 2.5 release! You can see the PR here with full documentation: github.com/dshafik/b...
The only open question is whether to overload `Bag->has()` as a variadic, or add `Bag->hasAll()` and/or `Bag->hasAny()`. Feedback appreciated!
Wait a minute, the Composer mascot is a conductor, and the Conductor mascot is a *checks notes* PILOT?
Next product clearly needs to be called Pilot, I don't make the rules.
Buy Microsoft if you have to in order to avoid litigation.

New feature incoming for Bag: Support for Laravel Debugbar!
If you want to try it out for yourself, I'd love some feedback! To install, run:
composer require dshafik/bag:dev-laravel-debugbar
I still need to write tests, and then I'll push this out with Bag 2.4!
This weekend saw the release of Bag 2.1, and alongside if I have pushed out versioned documentation with a "What's New" and "Upgrade" docs for 2.x. I plan to keep separate docs for each 2.x release til 3.x, when I will compress them like 1.x:

I just released v2.0 of Bag with support for Union Types and Fill Nullables:
github.com/dshafik/b...
The former is a BC break (in the Casting interfaces, if you don't use custom casts, no changes are needed) and the latter is a minor behavior change for better QoL.
Just released: Bag 1.4.0 with several quality of life improvements when using it with #Laravel controller injection.
It also finalizes #PHP 8.4 support (only two deprecation notices about implicit nulls I missed), and a bug fix when using Inertia.
Details here: github.com/dshafik/b...
Steelcase are the best I've found for quality and ergonomics. Might check to see if they have anything that meets your aesthetic needs.
Following up on yesterday's silliness, here's a PR with tests (and lots of changes) to add the LazilyResolveRouteBinding trait to Laravel core.
Should probably be called `DeferRouteBinding` or something better. I expect Taylor will figure it out 🙃
github.com/laravel/f...
#Laravel #PHP
Models are resolved using the `Model::resolve*()` method, which you can… subvert. Here's a simple trait (w/example) that will defer resolving. You can explicitly or implicitly resolve the model on first use (with most common usage).
