- Just added another round of new entries to BuiltWithLaravel. Need to make the process to add entries faster so I can get them in there, but still adding a few a week! (builtwithlaravel.com)
- Reposted by Matt StaufferWith the job market feeling more competitive than ever, how can you stand out? @mattstauffer.com talks to @davehicking.com about how to go the extra mile and what he looks for when trying to decide if it's worth moving a candidate on to the next round.
- LOL, this is how little I knew about it! Thanks Reuben!
- If it weren't for following Scott, I literally wouldn't know this movie was coming out. And I own every Ironheart comic, so I'm 100% the target market for this movie.
- hey #marvel, how about some marketing for #ironheart which is coming out June 24th!

- Laracon AU is incredible, Brisbane is one of my favorite cities, and @dyrynda.au is about as good as it gets when it comes to kind people and conference organizers. If you're a speaker, or want to become one, especially if you're near Australia, I couldn't recommend this more.

- Lol I got angry when I saw this post. Please click through and actually read it.
- @imanivaughnjones.bsky.social and I just saw Sinners for the second time and now we keep quoting to each other, “Sammieeeee!”. Iykyk
- Reposted by Matt StaufferFor the Laravel Podcast, @jessarcher.bsky.social gave @mattstauffer.com early access and the insights were instant: "Within minutes of setting up Nightwatch, I learned things about our user base, codebase, and application that I never would have on my own." laravelpodcast.com/episodes/how...

- Saw Sinners last night. Amazing movie. And now I can be on the Internet again! Also, you should see Sinners. (as long as you're OK with blood)
- We're slowly unpacking from the move, and I just did my first podcast recording since moving ( @taylorotwell.bsky.social back on the Laravel Podcast!) ... But I still can't find the charger for my camera, so I did the whole thing on the built-in webcam. Painful.
- I have to give credit to @johnbon.dev for this brilliant April Fools’ joke, btw.
- I'm so excited to share a stealth project I've been working on: Laravel Up and Running, the audio book. People thought I was crazy to narrate a code-heavy programming book, but I think we've done an incredible job; take a listen to our sample to see! laravelupandrunning.com/audio-book
- We ended up ... moving? So this series didn't get kickstarted, as I was launching season 7 of the Laravel Podcast. But now I'm back at it. I just spent $140 on a domain (geez, .dev!) so you know it's real. Right? That's how this works?

- Just listened to a preview of next week’s Laravel Podcast episode and it’s wild how reverb-y my audio sounds—the whole room is packed up for the move tomorrow so all the furniture/etc that normally absorbs sound is missing. Crazy how noticeable the difference is.

- Just moved to a new house. (Woo!! So tired it’s hard to celebrate but it is exciting!) (still in Atlanta) Homeowners: do you have a favorite source/app/etc to help remind you of the various things you’re supposed to do at whatever interval? I’ve never been great at this.
- I'm still working on Mise, which is a CLI and SaaS based tool that makes it easy for you to create and maintain your own Laravel starter kit. I'd love to find an existing starter kit that I can reproduce in Mise to show what it's like to use. Anyone want to be my guinea pig?
- Reposted by Matt StaufferKidnapping. Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping. Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking. A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.
- Tomorrow I'm bringing the brilliant @jessarcher.bsky.social onto the Laravel Podcast to talk a few things, but at the forefront, we'll talk about Nightwatch, Laravel's new application monitoring product. Got any questions for Jess? Not just about the product, but about building it?
- Reposted by Matt Staufferit’s weird that we’re staring down the second unprecedented economic catastrophe in five years and instead of a novel coronavirus that will go on to kill millions of people this one is just “no one was willing to tell him no”

- Reposted by Matt StaufferNEW: Thousands of CDC employees who worked on things like preventing HIV and lead poisoning have been told they were subject to a reduction in force. Experts say people will die.

- Reposted by Matt StaufferThe bodies of more than a dozen aid workers have been recovered in southern Gaza from what a United Nations agency described as a "mass grave," a week after they went missing following attacks by Israeli forces.
- I offered this up on Twitter and got more responses than I expected, so I didn't even put it up here. But! I found one more! I've got a copy of the 2nd Edition of Laravel: Up and Running. It's from 2019 so a bit out of date, but I'll sign & mail for free to US/Canada if anyone wants it.
- I’ve spent my whole life under the impression that all US public schools have to provide free bus transportation to their students. Today I learned that isn’t the case; e.g. @imanivaughnjones.bsky.social went to a school where only elementary kids get free busing, middle + high have to pay. 😳
- Just got a reminder of these photos from 17 (!!) years ago on Facebook. Anyone else get really into the One Laptop Per Child back in 2007-2008? I really thought this thing was gonna change the world.
- I'm working with the PHP Foundation to create a new page on the PHP site: "Why use PHP today?" I'd love your input on who needs this page, and what they need to hear: gist.github.com/mattstauffer...
- RTing because good episode, not just because he said nice things about me
- Clearly I can’t get on social media til I catch up on severance
