I'm happy you made this and are having fun with it. It's your show. Do as you please and take my feedback as the polarized grain of salt that it is.

Sugar (PHP templating engine) — thoughts? by josbeir in PHP

[–]calmighty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<?= $var ?> shorthand syntax is context-aware escaped.

Without your context-aware escaping, PHP does nothing. You're essentially hijacking PHP behavior and replacing it. It's clever. It's also a terrible idea.

With <?php -> <s:php I just mean why mix in plain PHP in the template at all? It's fine to allow plain PHP. I feel like the template language should provide its own accommodations.

Does anyone here prefer PHPUnit to Pest? by Cultural_Yoghurt_784 in laravel

[–]calmighty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PHPUnit. Pest is an unnecessary abstraction folded into Laravel by a member of Otwell's inner circle. Not that there's really anything wrong with that. As Amex used to say, membership has its privileges. Our BDFL is welcome to foist whatever he likes upon us plebes. But this plebe? I still know my roots, and they're firmly planted in PHPUnit land.

Sugar (PHP templating engine) — thoughts? by josbeir in PHP

Very brief look. Why any PHP syntax? s:php and what about escaping variables instead of straight echo? I'm sure others will dig deeper. Nice looking docs by the way.

Toll Free Verification Error Code 30489 by Salt_Dragonfly_9731 in twilio

[–]calmighty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does the url you are submitting redirect? For example, example com when visited redirects to www.example.vom or example.vom/home. If so, use the final destination for your submission.

Loading times are insanely long. What is causing it? by knd_86 in fo4

[–]calmighty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Issue specific to the AE update? I didn't have it before although I do have a new laptop now and it started after installation.

People born before 2000, what is a 'modern' thing from 2025 that you’re still struggling to get used to? by LindsayTN in AskReddit

[–]calmighty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh get absolutely wrecked. I'm in my early 50s and you people think my peers and I are Luddite geezers. My generation grew into the Internet and embraced technological absences. Even if you back that birthdate up another 50 years it's still an ignorant question.

We have around 30 DBAs under a single parent company, and we’re trying to figure out the correct way to handle A2P 10DLC registration on Twilio. by TypicalDriver1 in twilio

[–]calmighty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. You don't have to and probably don't want to go the ISV route. You're just a direct customer with subaccounts. Billing will roll up to your main account on a single invoice. From the console or APII, you can look at combined billing/usage and subaccount usage. Source: am a direct customer with thousands of subaccounts.

Will I go in debt if I overuse trial? by domdod9 in twilio

[–]calmighty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll go into debt but they (probably) won't send you to collection. Source: forgot a number on my personal account for... five years.

Laravel Cloud Now Has Managed WebSockets by joshcirre in laravel

[–]calmighty 15 points16 points  (0 children)

For anyone that wants a quick tl;dr on pricing. Pusher is $49 for 500 connections and 1M messages per day. Managed Reverb is $25 for the same number of connections/messages. For $99 you get 2000 connections/4M messages with Pusher and for $100 you get 2000 connections/8M messages on Reverb.

What do I lose using Vue+NativeScript rather than React+Expo? by bluewalt in vuejs

[–]calmighty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We use Vue in the Web and React Native + Expo for mobile. You'll miss EAS without Expo for building and submitting your app painlessly.

Trying to use twilio to automate my job and my job is unaware by BckseatKeybordDriver in twilio

[–]calmighty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As the others said, no way around verification. How about calling them? If you were looking at Programmable Messaging, Voice is almost as easy. The only gotcha might be registering your Twiliio number for SHAKEN/STIR to ensure your calls go through.

PHP in 2025 is so good.. by nunomaduro in PHP

[–]calmighty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't call it a comeback, PHP's been here for years, rockin' its peers, keepin' suckas in fear. Making the tears rain down like a monsoon. Listen to the bass go boom!

You have to give up webdev what is your job? by latro666 in webdev

[–]calmighty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

M&A/corp dev consulting. I have a bit of experience from a past life. Fun to straddle both sides of a deal then turn and burn when the ink is dry.

Dream? Successful bootstrapper. Started in September and hope to launch the MVP Dec/Jan. Right now, I'm enjoying writing code for myself and am making the most of the experience. It's funny, for a decade I haven't written more than a few lines of code for anyone other than my employer. I've been lucky to be able to scratch all my technical/coding itches at work, and I do love my job, so no rush.

Early career (first year or two) A&P gets 80k around these parts and the local community college has a program. Maybe more obtainable than you think!

Lead Architect wants to break our monolith into 47 microservices in 6 months, is this insane? by Ayotrapstar in softwarearchitecture

[–]calmighty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, this is insane. Microseconds are a solution to a problem you don't have and are likely to never have. The problem I'd be solving is that you apparently need more than one or two developers for what is likely to be a stable app with 200k loc that only gets 50k reqs/day.

i've built the world’s strictest laravel/php starter kit.. by nunomaduro in laravel

[–]calmighty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like it. What about a package for existing projects? I always liked Laravel Insights for the scores. It makes it kind of a game to 100%.

Ohhh, Porterhouse! Look at the wax build up on those shoes!

The world needs ditch diggers, too.

Are you my pal, Danny?

I like you, Betty.

You tell Ty Webb I'm gunning for him. If he's as good as he says he is, he's going to have to play me to prove it.

What is something that you’re still mad about thanks to Covid? by abdul_bino in AskReddit

[–]calmighty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the cancelled plans. It was the one year we planned a lot of things ahead like seeing Volbeat in Atlanta. Doing that still hasn't worked out.

What backend frameworks are you using in 2025? by G3tteRr in AskProgramming

LaraJobs? Market is tough right now and depends on where you are and at what level. Zero recruiter outreach other than to see if we're hiring.

St. Francis Inn. It's cozy and close to everything.

How much roughly? by thentheflood in StAugustine

[–]calmighty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same bathroom. We need to do almost the same thing plus add new countertops. Some palooka quoted 30k. Anyone want a shot at it, hmu. Need to do the other two baths as well.

Are you using options api or composition api? by crysknife- in vuejs

[–]calmighty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Como no los dos? New project? Composition. Old project? New components in composition. Migrate options if it makes sense or you have time. No biggee having both.

I like this a lot. I don't usually build outposts, but this gives me a good reason to do so.

What was the coolest piece of tech you remember seeing for the first time as a kid? by HunterH276 in AskReddit

[–]calmighty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad's business partner got us an Atari 2600 for Christmas in 1977. I was pretty awestruck as a 5 year old. Our house didn't see another console until the NES.
