Quick walk through of how to get everything setup for building a new Statamic 3 addon.

I've never written one of these before but I thought it would be a good time to start, especially as I've had a year where quite a few things changed in my life.

This was a very stressful hour and a half. Somehow my servers went rouge, tried to process 50,000 jobs at once. Each of those calls hit a Google API, racking me up a total in the region of £2700+. Thankfully, I managed to get it adjusted.

Recently, I've been working on building a Progressive Web App for a web application of mine. However in the process I somehow managed to cache the main page of my app, meaning users with the worker installed were stuck with the same HTML. I managed to figure out how to fix it.

An essay I wrote for one of my school exams about whether or not Christmas has become overly commercialised. It's led people to believe Christmas is Simon Cowel's birthday, so that's just mad.

An essay I wrote for a school exam about how school has shaped me. I talked about my experiences at both of my primary schools and about when I moved to secondary school.

I recently redesigned/rebuilt and migrated my entire website to a new Laravel app. I talk a little bit about why I did it.

Every site needs to be hosted, and your Statamic site is no different. The recommended solution is a combination of Digital Ocean and Laravel Forge to handle your hosting and provisioning respectively.

I'm getting to that point with ReadCast where it's starting to be pretty stable and the features are pretty much what I wanted them to be when I initially started. This is leading me to think about starting another side project. The only thing is: I want to do it for real this time.

Recently I've started to write tests in my Laravel applications. Tests are useful because they allow you to make sure important parts of your application are working, things like registration or subscriptions.
