My personal Twitter guidelines (absolutely not a 🧵): • Encourage other people - if you like the work someone is doing, tell them! • Be positive - a feed full of negativity is zero fun to follow. • Share what you're working on - people are drawn to other people in motion.

The past several weeks I've been waking up early (around 5:30 or 6) and doing some work before everyone wakes up. I regret to inform you that it's actually amazing. I've been wake-up-early-pilled. I'll try not to be insufferable about it!

Another week of recording in the books! Only a few more weeks until we're all wrapped up. It's exhausting, but I think it's going to be worth it.

it's the people who show up who make things happen. sorry to your friend(s) who are funnier, more interesting, more insightful – if they dont show up, we don't know. maybe u can send them this and ask them to get serious, so we can all enjoy their talents

Y'all better snatch this up! This is an incredible deal and my guess is that it'll cost roughly 5x by this time next year. Tobias knows an unbelievable amount all things database and you'd be lucky to have him augment your team.

You never know what will resonate, so keep sharing the stuff you're working on.

You're not a good judge of your own work. Things you think aren't good enough, others find transformative. Things you think are your best, others walk right past unimpressed. It also can align, too, but the correlation is low. Which is all totally fine! Don't get hung up on it.

The more hot takes I see on here, the more I'm convinced I never want to be the hot take guy. I'd like to be known for being optimistic, genuine, and sincere. Not for being the best cynic. Focus on what you want to see more of in the world!

Jerry Seinfeld's advice to comedians is "just work." I love it so much I got it made into a sign for the Shedquarters. 10/10 vibes.

A must have productivity booster to build complex filters in minutes and save yourself a ton of work. Works with generic Laracel applications as well 😎

I'm stoked to finally release the report builder for Laravel Nova! It lets your users build intricate filters to find exactly what they're looking for. (Supports both Nova 3 and 4.) I'd love to know what y'all think! Read more and see live demos at hammerstone.dev.

I'm leaning more and more into reporting, so I'd really love to hear what pains y'all have around that. (Either Nova or not!) Especially if you run an agency that uses Nova for your clients, please DM me!

We sent 100 hats to and he's been fighting to get them through customs for us. I even sent him my SSN and a picture of my passport which was either a really good or really bad idea. Time will tell!!1! Please be excited for the hats.

I was playing around with Laravel Nova last night (as one does) and managed to create this "field selector" dropdown to show/hide the various fields. Nova is really impressive. Much more to come here!
