    If I can get the printer to do it, I’m going to try and print this little setup as a portable tail winder. The handles come out and fit inside the winder, and then you can strap the whole thing together as a single compact piece.

  • Archive The Mutator Package

    Why We’re Saying Goodbye to Mutators The Mutator package, while well-intentioned, has become a source of unnecessary complexity in our development workflow. What started as an attempt to create a flexible data transformation system has instead created a maze of interfaces, adapters, and callbacks that obscure the true intent of our code.

  • Proposed New Facade Pattern That Supports Multiple Containers

    Current Implementation PHPNomad currently uses a Facade pattern implemented through abstract classes to provide static access to services. Facades serve two primary purposes: The current implementation requires: Challenges Architectural Limitations Impact on PHPNomad’s Core Philosophy The current Facade implementation conflicts with PHPNomad’s goal of writing truly portable code. By relying on global state and single […]

    I got it in the air. 10mph winds. I seriously think this is my perfect Ohio kite. Hits that Goldilocks zone between a 4D and a Quantum. 😍 it’s a Kitty Hawk Kite edition Nexus and I’m in love.
