@johnmkoster Yes!!! We try to encourage a culture of: “don’t spin your wheels too long.”

I see @adamwathan do this all the time: when he's stuck, he'll reach out to people in his network for advice/perspective.

The result? He gets unstuck faster.

Sometimes, getting someone else's perspective is all you need to get moving again.

One hack to use when you get stuck: ask someone for guidance.

It's incredible how often we'll procrastinate on a problem and sit with it for hours/days/weeks/months when a quick way to get unstuck is to send a message to someone who might shed a little light on your problem.

This has got to be the worst sales pitch ever made:

"Hello, we're reaching out because you have a podcast. We have clients that want to be on podcasts; most of these are generic interviews(?!?!). Please send us your podcast stats (?!?) and we'll start working with you."

WTF

@mjwhansen Politics is so frustratingly slow.

Especially an issue like this, which was caused for superfluous “theatrical” reasons.

Thanks for these updates! I appreciate it.

@jayclouse @iamjeremyenns Yup! We're cohosting this one. 🙌

RT @iamjeremyenns: Welp.

2.5 years after ending my last podcast, I just finished recording the first episode of a new show with @mijustin…

Who is building a Laravel-based SaaS?

cc @laravelphp @laravelnews

@leenyburger Omg. LOVE THIS.

This is gold medal-level commitment. 🏅

You two should wear that outfit everywhere! On dates, to family functions, to parent-teacher interviews...

One thing that seems to define the founders/leaders I respect:

1. They have a POV
2. They take action on that POV
3. They evaluate the results of their actions

Many people have opinions, but few are willing to put their ideas into practice.

@keithdamiani Hahaha. I’m primarily thinking about the left side.

@tomgerhardt Yes!

Bring back this design aesthetic.

@psyonara Yes! The worst!

@noplanstomerge @DCoulbourne I love the succinct, topical episodes that @jclermont and @aaronsaray do.

They share programming and career advice from “two old web devs who have seen a few things.”

@mitchdav 🙌

“An organization that isn’t striving to improve, will rot and disintegrate.” https://twitter.com/asmartbear/status/1733500254803120502

@jclermont @laravelphp @aaronsaray Nice! 👍

@naslouki Have you found places where they’re building intentional communities like this?

I want to go there!

RT @GergelyOrosz: ChatGPT getting lazier and telling people to read the docs instead of answering questions like before - and the team not…

@podcastharry This is so true!

@mitchdav @laravelphp Nice! I like the sounds of this. I just subscribed!

@arvidkahl @laravelphp Yes! I gotta listen to there one still 👍

RT @ow: Twitter is just endless case studies in why to not fire your designers and copywriters at this point ☠️

Ok, now I'm just listening to my favorite @noplanstomerge clips:

"Everyone is wondering: are things 'no good for reason' or are things 'no good for no reason'? Many things are 'no good,' but some things are 'no good no reason.'" – @DCoulbourne

https://x.com/mijustin/status/1215712174334603265?s=20

If you're looking for a podcast about what it's like to build & launch a SaaS on @laravelphp, listen to @JackEllis and Paul Jarvis (of @usefathom)'s podcast "Above Board."

🔗 https://lnkfi.re/OlDPgq

@JacobBennett @michaeldyrynda @laravelnews @laravelphp You and @michaeldyrynda were two of the first people I met IRL in the Laravel community, and you were both so warm and welcoming.

I'll never forget it!

@jameshull @calebporzio @laravelphp @noplanstomerge @DCoulbourne It's so good. Here's a holiday classic:

"So what I'm saying is you get all nogged up, and you get to robbing your uncle."

https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/1215500231141277697

Two of the nicest people in the Laravel ecosystem are @JacobBennett & @michaeldyrynda.

They host the long-running @laravelnews podcast, which covers the latest @laravelphp news.

Listen to the latest episode here:
🔗 https://lnkfi.re/MziJKW

@_swanson @laravelphp Oh dude. That is a GREAT trailer episode! 🙌

Adding it to my queue.

I enjoyed @adamdotdev and @thdxr's "PHP & Laravel Having a Moment" episode.

"You were like: 'oh man, @laravelphp is like this peaceful paradise,' and then you were like: 'Okay, all you JavaScript people - go run into it!'"

https://lnkfi.re/lpoK8O

@inxilpro @laravelphp @overngineeredfm @DCoulbourne Listening now! 🤙

If you haven't been listening to the new iteration of @LaravelPodcast with @stauffermatt and @taylorotwell, you're missing out.

It's fascinating to get an inside look at new Laravel features and learn how they both approach life and business.

🔗 https://lnkfi.re/v4n15w

Next up, @MostlyTechPod with @ianlandsman and @aarondfrancis.

It's been described as "Old Laravel meets Young Laravel" and also "Seinfeld for Nerds."

It's 10% about programming and 90% about whether you should wear shoes in the house.

🔗 https://lnkfi.re/jiHRLd

@laravelphp First up, @noplanstomerge with @DCoulbourne and @calebporzio.

I've described it as "a comedy podcast masquerading as a programming podcast."

But it's also kind of like the WWF Raw of Laravel podcasts: authentic, unscripted, and uncensored.

🔗 https://lnkfi.re/qvYalu

Let's make a list of our favorite @laravelphp (and "Laravel-adjacent") podcasts.

Reply with your favorite podcast and suggest an episode people should check out. 👉

(I'll start the thread with some of my faves)

help me @danshipper, you're my only hope. 🙏

More and more of my interactions with ChatGPT are starting to feel like this:

"I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that."

Lately, a lot of my interactions with ChatGPT have felt like this:

Me: "Do this work for me."

ChatGPT: "I can't do that work for you. Instead, I'll tell you how you can do the work yourself."

Feels a bit too much like:

"I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that."

@fredrivett @nbashaw @lexdotpage Congrats! 🎉

Marketing sites that don't clearly state what the product does https://twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1kvJpvzVEnaKE

Who remembers .arj files.

@theKevinShen @dickiebush @Nicolascole77 This looks amazing!!! 🤩

@damengchen Love it

@CasJam @mattmedeiros Oh yeah. Haha. Just noticed that now.

@CasJam Oh damn! That artwork and concept is 💯

@danshipper @david_perell @ChatGPTapp That looks amazing.

@RollPersuasion @TransistorFM Thank you! 🙏

@daniel_nguyenx Have them read @sivers’ post: “Change careers like Tarzan”

https://sive.rs/tarzan

@jackmcdade Yes! New year = new podcast. 🙌

@valsopi Looks like a nice spot!

@MostlyTechPod @ianlandsman @aarondfrancis What's the Rails equivalent of Forge?

Is there room for a Rails-specific server management and deployment service?

@mitchdav @TransistorFM Yessssss! 🙌

@christophrumpel Hahaha. Thanks.

(But seriously - you need to watch Seinfeld)

@digitaltrouble 😱

@danshipper @every Congrats! Well done! 🙌

@mjwhansen @1kevgriff Good episode! Listened this morning. 👍

@DanielZarick @aarondfrancis 😂

@TimLeland Google Photos (even though we're all on iOS).

Lots of storage. It automatically backs up what's on our phones.

The AI search is very good.

RT @aarondfrancis: This is incredible! Flawless. A work of art.

I'm dying laughing. Thank you for this gift @mijustin!

@ryatkins @MostlyTechPod @ianlandsman @aarondfrancis Thanks. 🙏

@Jamiehanratty @MostlyTechPod @ianlandsman @aarondfrancis Hahaha. Nice. Glad you like dit.

Listen to the full @MostlyTechPod episode I parodied here:

https://lnkfi.re/jiHRLd

I just uploaded the full version to YouTube.

(Hopefully, they don't take it down! 🤞)

https://youtu.be/NMGMawGBccg

@KennethCassel @MostlyTechPod @ianlandsman @aarondfrancis While listening to the episode, I kept saying, "That sounds like a Seinfeld scene."

I downloaded the @MostlyTechPod YouTube video and transcribed it in @DescriptApp so I could search the transcription.

Then I started saving clips that sounded like Seinfeld (to me).

The hard…

@MostlyTechPod @ianlandsman @aarondfrancis Ok. I just created a new ending:

"That's a rejoinder!"

(thanks to @fideloper and @tnorthcutt for the clips)

@michaeldyrynda Hahahaha. I just created a better ending, I'll post it shortly.

@austriker27 @MostlyTechPod @ianlandsman @aarondfrancis Hahaha. You should definitely listen. It's good!

@DanSchoonmaker @MostlyTechPod @ianlandsman @aarondfrancis 🤣🤣🤣 glad you liked it.

I'm just a huge podcast fan.

@ianlandsman @aarondfrancis @MostlyTechPod I had the biggest grin on my face the whole time.

I couldn't believe I found some clips:

Ian: "Love the CloudFlare. Oh man, it's up 5% today. Let's go!"

Seinfeld (looking up from the newspaper): "It's up six points!"

@ianlandsman Hahaha. I love it when you and @aarondfrancis get animated.

That "Yes Yes, No No" section kills me. 😆

@aarondfrancis @MostlyTechPod @ianlandsman omg. This seriously took me forever. 🤣 But it was such a joy to make. Glad you liked it!

@mitchhanberg @aarondfrancis 🤣

@DCoulbourne Ok. Now I gotta figure out which sitcom represents:

You and @calebporzio (@noplanstomerge)

You and @johnrudolphdrex (Talking Businessly)

@aarondfrancis Hahahaha. My pleasure.

I'm a huge fan!

The @MostlyTechPod is like Seinfeld but for nerds.

"Male toes are disgusting."
"Disgusting!"
"We're grotesque."

(I spent way too much time yesterday putting together this Mostly Technical X Seinfeld supercut of @ianlandsman & @aarondfrancis' interactions)

RT @mercury: This guide from @mijustin on how to send cold emails and DMs.
https://justinjackson.ca/cold-email

@ianlandsman It all depends on the comparative rate of acquisition.

Some B2B apps might be able charge more (and technically require less customers), but a B2P business can really thrive if it’s acquiring a steady flow of customers (with good LTV).

There’s no “one right structure” in SaaS;…

For SaaS founders who are interested, here’s Transistor’s initial journey to 1,000 customers. https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/1639747097074483202

@jasoncwarner I’ve been seeing tons of these ads.

@p_millerd The Tesla buying experience is definitely the best I’ve had: no haggling, no silly sales theatrics, low documentation fees, etc

In just bought a second vehicle and dealt with multiple traditional automakers – in terms of “UX” they’re way behind Tesla.

@DCUTV @TransistorFM I've also published this video on YouTube:

@warsh33p send it to my ski resort please thank you

@DCoulbourne fuck that

lol. @AcquiredFM just wins in every category.

@PodcastMovement Build your SaaS

(@buildyoursaas)

@TransistorFM @ApplePodcasts I really want to start a new podcast from scratch that's built purposefully with subscriber-only content in mind.

Every once in a while, I'll think about:

- What my dad was doing at age 43 (real work)

- What I'm doing at age 43 (searching frames for that perfect YouTube thumbnail)

@driesvints Nice 💪

Come visit me anytime!

@driesvints What’s one place you still want to visit in North America?

@michaeldyrynda Yessss

If you folded a fitted sheet take a picture and reply here.

@DanielZarick @joelcorelitz @PlayShortwave Ooh. I love this.
