No Plans to Merge (Daniel Coulbourne & Caleb Porzio)

What does that even mean?

Caleb has been invited to speak at the most prestigious web conference in the world. He's also up for a major award.

In this episode Daniel and Caleb discuss the wonderful science of Knot tying, some Alpine components, and so much more.

On this episode we try to figure out how Caleb can avoid getting a real job.

Sponsorware?? Spoiler alert: It's sponsorware.

It's been years since our last Laracon episode. It's good to be back

Neck Stuff
Alpine Components and Tailwind UI
Go Routines and Channels

This week we talk about whether to leave eloquent support in Livewire and have some crazy fun brain blasts about PHP attributes and how we can use and abuse them.

This is episode is a real good deep tech one where we explore different Livewire component structures and Alpine yiznaz.

We've become addicted to cheap money. Our cheap conveniences are like shifting sands. As VC titans play on our insecurities and whims, only soup stands to sustain us in the world to come.

Daniel and Caleb discuss Rogue Amoeba apps, the game of Go, and the Elements of Style

• Rogue Amoeba
• AlphaGo Documentary
• The Elements of Style

Daniel teaches Caleb about React "hooks", and their use cases. Caleb only knows Vue.

Things are in full swing.
There are many things we cannot say.
We are both slammed trying to get everything done for Laracon.
Which led to this not being put out very quickly.

We do a very good 40 minute Youtube recommendations segment.

The first episode ever that we don't talk about code or programming at all. That doesn't mean the episode isn't chocked full of general geekery though. We talk electronics, soldering, spray-painting, blue's guitar playing. It's a good time.

We talk about home automation and Caleb starts to pitch us on his Pot Heads NFT when disaster strikes.

This episode was recorded 2 weeks ago.

For that reason, I don't remember in detail what we talked about.

It's all in the title today. Daniel is on to the next thing. It's right on the tin.

InterNACHI

Caleb, where'd you go man? You're wandering in your mind palace.

Daniel and Caleb talk about how you could like, process audio with like, Laravel collections. Wild.

Caleb wrote a tweet that went kinda-sorta-viral. Daniel & Caleb talk about it. That's all you need to know.

The title says it all

It's a quick one because Caleb simply has to go.
We talk about an Alpine pattern, seafood, and a brief outro on NFTs

This one was recorded about 2 weeks ago, but we like it a lot. Sorry for the downtime

Today we ask the big question on every PHP developer's mind. We weigh out the pros and cons of the language, things we like and dislike, and ultimately, what keeps us coming back.

The Reindeer are a bunch of hatin' ass clout-chasers.
Alpine day is coming with lots of huge speakers.
Building an RV can cause you to take drastic action.
Brock will always bail you out, but at what cost.

This week we talk about the dynamics that seem common amongst all developer-project relationships, and how it can feel like an almost impossible task to manage them well.

We're back in action. We had a whole slew of topics to cover, but we didn't get to them because we were nerding out about Livewire stuff.

Why can we not have slots in Livewire components?s

Caleb is struck by the power of user-testing projects, Daniel talks about his new work in React Native, and both of us test our skills on a new game we just made up.

Hey folks. We are the hosts of No Plans To Merge, a programming podcast. A sponsor of ours, Honeybadger.io, has agreed to match up to $2,000 worth of contributions to these bail fund charities. We are also personally matching up to $500 in contributions, meaning that if we can raise $2,500 dollars here, that will have $5,000 worth of impact to these organizations.

We support the demonstrators who have been and continue to be protesting against police brutality in memory of George Floyd. Unfortunately police are continuing to abuse, harrass, and arrest protesters. We want to do what we can as a community to support their efforts and we believe that bail funds are a vital piece of that effort as they allow protesters to protest without having to make a financial decision about whether they can afford to be bailed out should they be arrested in the process. This form will split your donation between a series of local, regional and national bail funds

Thanks so much to Honeybadger for sponsoring this effort by matching donations. Honeybadger is an error monitoring and reporting solution that you can use  on your production apps to detect errors. It gives you all the information you need about what happened, who it happened to, and what you'll need to fix it.

1. Daniel forgot to press publish. This episode is a week old.

This week, we talk about the similarities between dirty socks and merge conflicts, and end up with a tangible tool to prove that long-standing feature branches are bad news. It's a reaaaalllly good time.

The title says it all...

Today we ask each other a simple question: "What apps do you use?". We cover mail clients, screenshot tools, terminals, image editors, list apps, and note-taking apps, to name a few. Along the way, we also explore our shared history as Photoshop cool-kids.

Daniel and Caleb wax nostalgic about the various eras of Laravel, their long and eventfull friendship, Laracon talk nerves, and a tentative plan for WIRECON.

Laracon India. Lets get gross. Sweatshops. Cohort 2

This episode is special. We start with some concrete talk on popular productivity tools and methods and end up in the abstract world of Eastern Philosophy. It's unlike any episode we've done so far. If you like "going deep", this episode's for you.

This week we talk about Caleb's experience leaving his day job and more generally, interesting ways to view employment in general. Of course, this conversation turns into hard code talk about JavaScript DOM nodes, Eager Loading data, and String.replace.

Daniel is a modern fullstack serverless buzzword bingo javascript developer.
Caleb is doing yoga on the lanai.

Justin Jackson, founder of Transistor.fm and host of the Build Your SaaS podcast joins us to talk about all kinds of stuff from finding a market for Livewire to the cause of avalanches. 

This is one of the good ones.

In this ep, the fellas compare their respective YouTube algos and Caleb learns why the hell Daniel is so amped about event sourcing. It's a good one.

Daniel has no life, only programming. This leads to an episode with zero talk of knots.

Caleb is streamlining his setup. All mini-wheats before noon. Daniel beat Dragon Slayer 2. What is the point of Minecraft? Whose trip is it? Can I bring my gat? Checksum invalid what does this even mean?

It's launch day folks
