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...

Smart Polling
Livewire aims to be thrifty when it comes to resource usage (ajax requests being the biggest). Here is an example of a little feature I recently implemented with a rea...
Not On NPM
I want Livewire to require as little configuration as possible. The fewer things the user has to do to get up and running and productive, the better. Here is an exampl...
The Evolution Of Validation
Often times, the obvious interface for a feature is not-so-obvious when you're writing it. The process of not settling for less is invigorating to me, and this episode...
The Evolution Of The Make Command
The "make:livewire" command is one of the first things a new Livewire user types. It feels natural, and lacking in surprise. Surprisingly, it was quite a long road tha...
The Name
Naming things is really hard. Livewire is no exception. Today we'll talk about where the name came from, how it's evolved, and how it is still evolving.
But Does It Scale?
The question that has haunted me since the beginning, and how I overcame the fear of it.
