👋 You wonderful readers. I hope you’ve had an awesome week. Anyone watching WandaVision? The last episode was incredible, and things are starting to make more sense.
Also, there’s been a Mortal Kombat trailer that looks epic. The CGI and gore stay true to the MK game franchise, and most characters are acted out well. A few people were a little disappointed to hear Scorpion’s “come over here” voice, but I thought it was good. I’m very excited, and I can’t wait to get back to the cinema.
Speaking of cinemas, it’s been over a year since my last visit, and the last movie was Sonic the Hedgehog (highly recommended). It’s crazy to think where we are now since COVID spread across the world. What was the last movie you watched in the cinema, and are you itching to get back again?

Latest blog posts
Would you look at that? I made more than 1 blog post this week. Hopefully these may catch your interest. 😄

Things I’m learning
Domain-Driven Development or DDD is a concept that’s been around a while. However, it’s a fairly new topic with PHP developers and it’s something I’ve been meaning to dig into. Brent is a great developer with a lot of knowledge. If you’re looking into DDD then I recommend you check out the resource below.

People’s amazing achievements

“$10k in pre-orders for @RosielandHQ course 🥳 As a course I’m collaborating with others on, it’s not that profitable, but as with all things I do, it’s not about the money, it more about the journey and the pushing of my own comfort zone. I trust good things will follow. 😇”

Phil Sturgeon is a hero who is trying to help our planet by planting trees. He has created his own charity called Protect Earth and is always looking out for more donations. This week, he got a group of people to help plant 1,600 trees, hopefully growing big and strong.

“🌍🌳 Planting with a new crew today and it was a wild ride. People from all ends of the globe and political spectrum, some paid, some volunteers, all taking the absolute piss non-stop and getting great work done on an otherwise miserable day. 1000 trees today, 600 more tomorrow! https://t.co/yHQg5Y6Gr1”

Interesting Podcasts
If you’re on Twitter to grow an audience but you’re struggling, take a look at the podcast below. I was stuck in a constant state of gaining and losing followers which led to me being “stuck”. After listening to this podcast episode, I learned how to be more helpful and gain more followers.

“I like the idea of “audience audition” mentioned by @arvidkahl in this podcast
  • you follow accounts with big audiences
  • you check their tweets
  • you reply when you have something meaningful/relevant to say
  • you audition in front of this new audience
