Validate Your Idea First
I used to build things in the exact opposite order that I should have: Build thing, then market thing. It's a huge mistake lots of people make. Today I'll tell you a ...
Group By "Function"? Or "Feature": A Universal Programming Problem
This is a question I encounter in every single codebase I've ever worked in. Do we group things by "Function" or by "Feature"? The Livewire codebase is no exception. L...
Refactoring Gospel
Let's talk about the current refactoring I'm in the middle of.

I'm working on a much-requested feature for Livewire and I want to tell you all about it: File Uploads

This episode we talk about 2 new features I'm stoked about: The back button (moving from replaceState to pushState) and lazy script tag evaluation.

Write Drafts. For Everything. All The Time.
A new superpower I've been discovering is writing drafts religiously. Any thought or idea I have, I throw up a draft. What can hurt? It has lots of benefits and I'll t...
Good/Clear Communication Is The Key To Success
Writing code and solving problems is fun. Writing emails, blog posts, podcasts, screencasts is NOT FUN (most of the time). I repeat: NOT. It takes serious effort and d...

Project X
A common question I get is: what do I do for small interactions like dropdowns and modals if I want to use JavaScript for them instead of Livewire. (presumably to save...

Wrapping Your Arms Around A Big Tree

A Lovely Refactor
After being away for the Livewire codebase for a while, coming back to it was kind of painstaking. Instead of slogging through it, I decided to "make the change easy"....
