I'll be at Lille for the API Platform conference next week. Hope to meet you all there!

API Platform@api-platform.com

We're so excited to welcome @larabelles.com members next week in Lille! They will also be present at the pre-conf social scheduled for Wednesday, September 16 in Lille's old town. Registration on meetup: www.meetup.com/api-platform...

Today is the second day of the Cambridge Social Venture weekend I’m taking part of, and I’m incredibly grateful to be among such amazing people 🥺. When we are surrounded by so much evil in the world, spending time with people whose life is spent addressing social issues is refreshing.

From a charity supporting victims of knife crime, or a charity supporting expelled children by engaging them in martial arts, to seaweed biscuits as a way of learning about the UK coastal ecosystem, the ideas people come up with are incredible. It restores my faith in humanity. People are good.

I felt this so much. Not just the burnout part, but the being a face of something part, the need to justify that your work makes a difference and matters, the constant pressure to quantify and measure the impact your work is having. But how do I measure the increase in belonging? In confidence? ...

Hi, friends. The last 6 years have been a blast, but I just don't like being on The Internet anymore. I'm leaving DevRel, and I wrote a little bit about why. Look after yourselves, and each other. Love, Salma

... Better mental health because you feel you are no longer alone in this crazy tech world? I can report the number of new connections, conferences attended, salary increases, and professional progression, but that would miss the point. Just saying. It's hard. Support @larabelles.com 🙏

The Laravel community was our starting point, but we are here for people from all PHP frameworks and communities. Let’s all get together to make our industry a better place for everyone. Thank you for being one of our earliest supporters, Jim! 💙

There is something more under the hood, here. Larabelles obviously comes from the #laravel community, and the work @zuzana-k.com and @dianawebdev.bsky.social have done to build this is exceptional. But this is now support from both the #Symfony world, it's a common goal to make the industry better

Thank you so much for your support! On behalf of Larabelles, I appreciate it more than words could say. Your support, and the support of all our sponsors, means that we can continue doing what we are doing, and hopefully do even more. Thank you. ❤️

I'd like to state that for generic white men PHP developers, supporting @larabelles.com is incredibly rewarding. I got my career handed to me on a plate, why not have a crack at making someone else's career better? X

Calling all cis women, trans women, and non-binary folks going to Laracon EU! We're sponsoring a Larabelles happy hour on Monday and would love if you can join us. RSVP ➡️ luma.com/61sdhh28 (Laravel world men: appreciate you helping raise awareness and sharing this 😊)

I'm proud to manage my personal website's server myself. I learn a lot as I do the most basic things that always end up breaking some server config somewhere 😅. Fun times! Today I learned how to put up a maintenance page 🎉.

A few months ago, I shipped something a little different. The day Laravel for the rest of us went live, was unlike anything i've been a part of. After a year of writing and planning, it was out there. No more edits, notes or tweaks. https://laravelfortherestofus.com

Having my morning tea and remembering last year’s #LaraconEU and The Late Late Pull Request Show with Caneco ❤️. Hope to see many of you in a few weeks again!

As many of you know, alongside @larabelles.com, I’m also a horsey girl! I’m building a tool to solve the yard-life problems I deal with, very much scratching my own itch. It’s called YardKit. Early days, but it’s happening! If horses are your world too, I’d love your support 🫶

I guess I should start working on that talk now? 😅 I’m very excited about coming to Laracon AU! My first time in Australia and my first time travelling this far 😳. But just like my code, it’s time to be more resilient and handle stress better. See you all in Brisbane!

We are incredibly proud to be one of #APIPlatformCon 2025 community partners! Thank you so much for having us 💜.

We’re really excited to have @larabelles.com as one of our #APIPlatformCon 2025 community partners. Larabelles is a community dedicated to amplifying the voices of women and gender minorities in the Laravel and PHP ecosystem. We’re glad to welcome them: api-platform.com/con/2025/

I recorded my Laracon US talk today. A 5 minute video and it took me from 1pm until 8pm with two breaks between to get it done 😬. And I’m still not happy with it. The words lost all the meaning and I could hardly say my own name at the end 😅. Tell me I’m not the only one struggling with recording 🥹.

I have just caught up with all @larabelles.com emails and urgent to-dos, and it feels wonderful! I mean, the to-do list is still very long, but I feel like I've made progress, and I'll definitely sleep better tonight. Feeling good - at least until tomorrow morning 😅.

You know how they say “Never meet you heroes”? Well, I met one of mine today and it was great! I met Professor Sue Black, whose story has inspired me from early on in my tech career. And I’m grateful I had the chance to tell her that in person 🫶🏻.
