Due to the PHP security vulnerability, the Deploy Empathy website will be taking a brief nap today. It's a WordPress site, so...yeah. In the meantime, copies are available from Amazon and other booksellers. www.amazon.com/Deploy-Empat...

Happy PHP CVE day to all who celebrate 🙃

2B+ geocoding lookups a month, one Laravel app, a very small team. CTO Mathias Hansen will share how that works at @laracon.au in Brisbane next month – “𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗔𝗽𝗽 𝗶𝘀 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗲. 𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗘𝗹𝘀𝗲” on Nov 6. Catch his talk and come find us at our booth!

See you at Laravel Live Denmark this week? I'll be there on Friday!

working on making our site more international in terms of how we talk about pricing & spelling/wording… and hitting a major snag: Finding alternatives to words with the S/Z problem is literally impossible for one of our key words - “address standardization” 🤯🤯🤯 standardiszation? 🤪

wild friday night in 2010: go out, drink, dance wild friday night in 2026:

y'all, i'm not seeing enough (any?) dramatic Laraprom proposals on the TL. you've got two weeks, better get on that!

gonna nerd out on part of the Toyota Production System as applied to software to our team today and i'm honestly so ridiculously excited

Hello from the newest country @geocod.io supports: the UK! www.geocod.io/uk

Hello London, it’s so lovely to be back

Gym question for UK people: Do people usually change into clean (ie never worn outside) gym shoes when they arrive? In Denmark, this is the expected behavior. Isn‘t in the US. I’ll be in the UK next week and am not sure what to bring!

1.5 years ago: had never touched weights or machines before and was pretty intimidated by them but started anyway Today: maxed out a machine for the first time 💪

it's kinda wild (read: probably not good) that running out of Claude usage/Claude having errors is the most reliable way to force me to take a break and shut my laptop these days 😬 status.claude.com/incidents/fp...

When we first built Geocodio 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀, there were two roles: admin and member. We just shipped the overhaul. Eight roles, free seats for billing and compliance, and a real invite flow. www.geocod.io/updates/2026...

it’s a good Sunday when I get to spend it tumbling 🤸‍♀️ (this is your regular reminder that gymnastics isn’t just for kids anymore and that I would be more than happy to help you find a nearby open gym or class!)

Can’t get over this stat I learned last week: In 1700, India was 40% of world GBP. England was just 6% podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...
