I built a complete drag-and-drop form builder for Laravel in a single week. Here's how planning and Claude Code made it possible — and what's next for the ArtisanPack UI Forms package.

My fellow Texas Democrats - Paxton *wants* you to get pissed off at each other. He's wanking to that.
Republicans win when Texas Democrats stay home. Why the hell would you give them the satisfaction?
Democrats showing up in November makes Republicans cry. Damn, that sounds like fun!
Heath Ledger’s Joker, expressing frustration. The text states “America murders 100 children and nobody bats an eye. Three American soldiers die and everybody loses their minds.”

I’m very upset, but I’ve got nothing of substance to contribute to the conversation on this platform. When you see me posting through it about random stuff, don’t confuse it for apathy.
I don’t even know anymore. War, the senseless murder of civilians, pedophiles in power, just a whole lot of fuckshit.
Less than two months later we’re right back here … again.
So once again I’ll repeat myself:
Fuck this.
It feels genuinely insane to have no clue why we are murdering people in Iran and yet we are
The US and Israel are going to bomb Iran for a while, kill a bunch of innocent people, and then bizarrely hang up a Mission Accomplished banner and go home and expect everyone to just move on. It's all a game to them. They belong in The Hague.
‘Department of War’ and ‘Israel Offense Forces’ are appropriate names, there is no ‘defense’ being played by these organizations.
Israel should not exist. Illegal colonizer/genocider state that consistently mass murders Muslim children.
CNN reporting that the strikes on Iran tonight are joint US and Israeli strikes.
Which means Donald Trump should be impeached for a third time.
What he has done tonight is illegal under the US constitution and the UN charter.
It’s crazy that it’s basically just a combination of the single worst most disastrous parts of every administration in history
these sad, broken, hurtful men, and the terrible things they do
all i want to do is play music, make art, eat good food, laugh with the people i love, be in nature, and build websites
Even more than usual I hope he fuckin dies
Licensing issues forced me to build my own Livewire UI component library. Here's the full story behind ArtisanPack UI — from the problem to v2.0 and beyond.

February was about sustainable progress. I advanced the ArtisanPack UI Visual Editor, started pre-built dashboards, and built Hangar — a terminal organizer in Rust with Tauri. Here's the full rundown.

Ep. 4 of "What I'm Working On" is live!
I'm giving a first look at the Visual Editor package for Artisan Pack UI.
Plus, I'm introducing Hangar—a new terminal window manager app I'm building.

A little something I've been working on recently. Completely different from what I normally do.
Video talking about it a bit more will be out on Friday.

Kind of a wild full circle moment: a guy I wrote about in my senior year at UT just scored a goal for Czechia in the Olympics!

After 14 years in web dev, here's my advice for beginners: learn the fundamentals first.
AI tools are great, but you still need to spot and fix their mistakes. No shortcuts to becoming a great developer.

A long-exposure photograph shows a stream cascading over large, jagged rocks, creating a smooth, milky white waterfall effect. Green and reddish foliage frames the top and right sides of the scene, casting dappled shadows on the stone, while a brick wall structure is visible on the upper left.
The gentle Little River becomes not so gentle at The Sinks. Calm water upstream, raging waterfall here.
No cell reception, just the sound of water. Surprisingly peaceful despite the turbulence.

Yeah no, I'm never going back to #WordPress or recommending it to anyone as long as automattic still has its grubby little hands on it.
Building the ArtisanPack UI Livewire Starter Kit meant solving a documentation puzzle! Figuring out the Packagist/--using flag approach was key. Now developers can auto-install core packages and set accessible theme colors right from laravel new.

A high-angle shot captures two tram cars suspended against a steep, rocky mountain slope dotted with green vegetation. A tall blue support tower stands on the ridge, while a sprawling town with a grid of roads and buildings is visible in the valley background.
Sandia Peak Tramway - second longest in the world. Takes you 3,819 feet up in 15 minutes. Desert floor to 10,000+ feet, 20-30 degree temperature drop.
Sunset rides are spectacular.

We hit 80 degrees here yesterday and immediately all of the allergies are saying hello today.
Definitely a Monday.
I don't think I'll ever understand the European fascination with "Country Roads". Like, why are they singing an odd up-beat version of the song in a break in the men's 5000m speed skating finals?
