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.
Always Be Tweeting (A Window Into My Process)
"Always Be Tweeting" - that title is gross. I'm sorry you had to read that, but maybe listen to the episode and see if it sounds less gross afterward.
File Uploads (Yet Another Baller Invisible Feature)
I'm working on a much-requested feature for Livewire and I want to tell you all about it: File Uploads
The Back Button (And Other Exciting Things)
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.
Forgive Yourself

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...
I Finally Feel Great About Livewire
I'm prepping for my Laracon Online talk tomorrow (and launching 1.0), and just wanted to stop for a minute and express how great I feel about the framework.
AlpineJS | Project-L | Building Trello With Livewire (My Revelation)
I'm pretty pumped about a lot of things, let me tell you about them...
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...
The BIG Update
Livewire just got a pretty major update. I made some tough decisions on this one, but ultimately, think we'll be better off.
Current Roadmap
Let's get up to speed on the current state of Livewire.
Choose Invisibility

Hard Validation Problems
Today we talk about getting past some hard validation problems. I'm really happy with the result!
Wrapping Your Arms Around A Big Tree
Sometimes, trying to work on a codebase feels like trying to wrap your arms all the way around a big tree. Today I talk about this experience and push the analogy to i...
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"....
My Biggest Struggle As A Web Developer

My History With The Fear Of Public Speaking
Today I talk about my long, hard relationship with speaking in front of people.
The Value Of A Reputation

Using Vue With Livewire
A long long time ago, I decided Livewire needed to work well with Vue. This episode describes the journey I made to get there and my current thoughts and questions abo...
Why I Believe In Livewire
Let's get a little more concrete. Here is the actual, tangible reason I believe Livewire is extremely useful and "good" for most projects.
What Livewire Is All About
To me, Livewire is much more than the package on GitHub. It represents a change in my thinking and a prescription for the overwhelmed developer.
Be Patient With Abstractions
There is a file in the Livewire codebase FULL of duplication. There certainly is an abstraction just begging to be made. Why can't I find it? What do I do about that?
Submit Pull Requests
Today I talk to my past self. Telling him to submit more pull-requests, and not fear being "seen" as a bad developer.
Change Your Environment (On Silencing Twitter)
Today, I talk about a significant change I made to my life: unfollow everyone on Twitter.
Open The Black Box (The Solution To My DOM Diffing Woes)
Sometimes, you just have to do the hard thing, put your thinking cap on, and open the black box. In my case, I had to really sit down and understand how Livewire's DOM...
