I've upgraded to the latest Laravel version in my website using Laravel Shift and it's been really easy :) If you want to know more about it, read here: https://noeldemartin.com/tasks/brushing-up-noeldemartincom#comment-2
#TIL the word "Solipsism", it's used for the philosophical idea that only one's mind is sure to exist. This is a concept I've often brought up and pondered about, but I didn't know the word and the existing theories. Reading up the wikipedia article was fun. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solipsism

@dajbelshaw In case you're interested in my opinion, I think focusing on web technologies is the answer :). Nowadays it's not that difficult to create a good experience in all devices using web technologies. If there's a need for dedicated mobile apps, there are choices to package web apps. Of course it comes at a cost in terms of UX, but I think it's better to pay this cost than cut some people off.
@dajbelshaw Hey, looking at your tweet about DIY I thought a question for an upcomming microcast :D. What's your opinion on creating inclusive software? I know some companies choose what to support based on the demographics in their analytics, but that's just reinforcing existing bias. One example is supporting screen-readers, there'll never be many users with those needs. Also, MoodleNet has a big audience, but how would you balance this at a startup's early stage?
I 100% agree with this. I've always thought that developers must be within the UX feedback loop, since we're the ones writing the code. The less communication layers between users and the ones writing the software, the better.

I found this podcast episode really interesting! And I have to say, I was gladly surprised for once by Facebook and Google. Sadly, not so much by Amazon and others.
Well, that didn't last :/ Frankly, I still prefer the supported model for many reasons, but I guess I'm in the minority https://tim.blog/2019/07/11/why-im-stopping-the-fan-supported-podcast-experiment/
Some days ago I found a package to finally replace momentjs (it weights too much): https://github.com/iamkun/dayjs Worked like a charm so far!
#TIL Ok, I just realized github issues and PRs cannot have the same number because their ids are generated from each other (if you create an issue and then a PR they'll be issue #1 and PR #2) 🤯
#Vue devs, how would you fix this? The animation is triggered with CSS when the content disappears, but that's not nice. I've created a component I'm calling "Freezable": https://gist.github.com/NoelDeMartin/7414586bae62f79bcf9bfb9f12b13316
