Had a great time at Laracon last week. I'm seeing many parallels to Drupal's rise. Betting on hosting is a smart move - it worked nicely at Acquia and Pantheon. I contributed a few PRs to Laravel already 💪. Most recently I added polish to the installer github.com/laravel/inst... #laravel #laracon

Another goal of mine this event is checking off, use local atproto meetups to build coalitions. I am so thrilled to announce that THE @evangreer.bsky.social is joining us to speak on the legislative environment surrounding online spaces at our upcoming event. You don't want to miss it.

Fare the well Mr Bob Weir. He and the other Grateful Dead members spawned an immense community built on kindness and improvisation and living in the present. Bobby lived a model life.

What an utterly amazing and joyful journey it has been. So much talent, focused on giving the world a cool tool for spreading the good word.
