Excited to share something I've been working on.
3 years of color tools. 2 months building this.
Supa Colors generates palettes where every shade looks balanced — visually, not just mathematically.
Really proud of it.

Wanna make your first contribution to open-source, but don't know where to start? 🤔
You don't have to PR a huge feature that's going to revolutionise the world.
It can be something as simple as updating documentation, or fixing a typo (like I did with the `laravel/cashier-stripe` upgrade guide)!
No matter how small a PR like this might be, they contribute to the bigger picture.
It's also a great way for you to get used to the flow of contributing to open-source and build your confidence 😄

I wonder what the turning point was for folks in the software and content spaces who decided to try and strike out on their own.
If you're one of those, I'd love to hear your story!

The contrast between people who read and those who don’t is going to become pretty stark in the next decade.
People already refuse to read short articles! They want education via 30-second sound bites!
You can win by just having an attention span.

We've been working on a little tool for comparing Postgres data types for particular use cases. (There are SO MANY data types.)
We'll send it out to the masteringpostgres.com list tomorrow, so be sure to sign up!

This used to be oddly satisfying to watch.
It’s a reminder that it’s easier to fall back and do work that feels important and necessary (eg regularly run a defrag process) vs fundamentally change the system to eliminate a whole category of maintenance!

You may have heard of the /.well-known/ path, and the security.txt file, but there is a new one you should be aware of too:
/.well-known/change-password
It should redirect to your change password form, so password managers can easily send users there.

📺 My Laracon talk "Designing a Component Library" is up on YouTube!
It's a deep-dive into how I think about building and styling reusable components, and how using CSS instead of JS can actually make things more flexible.

We just released 15 new videos on HighPerformanceSQLite.com!
It's almost two hours of new content covering JSON and full text search.
I'm confident that this is the most thorough, definitive course on SQLite out there, and I'm super proud of it.
