It's been a while since we last recorded but we're back so Alex can talk about yet another holiday, we talk about how our new video-based ventures are going, and how we validate those ideas we have in the shower (or crawling through the Củ Chi tunnels). * Alex's new AWS training venture - https://stackleap.com * NameStation naming contests - https://www.namestation.com/contests * Conference speaking advice - http://speaking.io * How GitHub uses GitHub to build Github - http://confreaks.tv/videos/rubyconf2011-how-github-uses-github-to-build-github

This episode is dedicated to the memory of the chocolate mousses which were lost to the depths of Alex's bag on the evening of 5th September 2017. May their deliciousness never be forgotten. This week Alex and David talk about finally meeting in person at the Laravel London September meetup, answer more listener questions, the ups and downs of running open source projects and finish off with their thoughts on Apple’s announcements at the iPhone Event. # Follow Us Alex - twitter.com/alexbilbie David - twitter.com/davzie # Show Links Free coffee at Pret - https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/pret-a-manger-staff-give-free-coffee-to-their-favourite-customers-sandwich-chain-boss-reveals-10191611.html Southern Rail Intern meets the Internet - https://www.standard.co.uk/lifestyle/london-life/why-southern-rail-should-probably-hire-twitter-hero-eddie-the-intern-a3587491.html Estimatr App - www.estimatrapp.com/ “HSBC is killing my business” - https://medium.com/photonstorm/hsbc-is-killing-my-business-piece-by-piece-d7f5547f3929 “Looking for a new maintainer of OAuth 2 Server” - https://alexbilbie.com/2017/08/looking-for-a-new-maintainer-of-league-oauth2-server/ Laravel E-commerce - https://getcandy.io/ Amazon X-Ray - https://aws.amazon.com/xray/ Awesome AR project - https://github.com/ProjectDent/ARKit-CoreLocation # Give Us Feedback or Ask Questions Email us - feedback@codingsolo.works Tweet us - twitter.com/coding_solo # Crunch Accountants Crunch puts freelancers, contractors and small businesses in control of their finances with expert accredited accountants and beautifully simple online software. www.crunch.co.uk/?aid=codingsolo Please tell them the Coding Solo podcast sent you!
