The PHP 8.5 release is only a week away! 🤩 RC4 is already available in Laravel Herd - perfect time to explore what’s new (especially that new pipe operator 👀).

It started with a single photo at Laracon. Then the stickers. Then the movement. Historians will study this moment for generations.

‘95 was a big year

Fall days are the best days!

💪

I'm off for two weeks! Time to recharge and step back from code (as much as I manage to 🙃) Looking forward to nice autumn runs, lots of cozy dog cuddles and *a lot* of time in Dune Awakening. The spice must flow!

I'm wayyy behind on catching up with my podcasts, but this episode jumps right to the start of the queue! 🥰

It took me literally 20 seconds to upgrade one of our new projects to Pest 4. Thanks @nunomaduro.com & collaborators! 🚀

Question for women / trans / non-binary people only: Have you ever gone to a conference where you didn't know anyone AND weren't a sponsor or a speaker? If you haven't, would you? (Sorry, cis men. I'm going to go ahead and take a wild guess that you would have minimal reservations about this.)

My four-leaf clover 💚

You know it's going to be a good day if you dive into RFCs first thing in the morning Wheeeeeee

The #APIPlatformCon starts next week, and we're excited to be their community partner! Check out the amazing speaker line-up! Tickets are available until this Friday, so don’t miss out! api-platform.com/con/2025/

What we *really* need AI for– ✨ Back in the day ✨, you had to define or draw masks etc. yourself. Automatic detection sometimes worked, but not always. 👵 Now, I either click "Subject", which works 80% of the time, or I draw the mask with the precision of a three year old and it just creates it.

Prism v0.86.0 🎉 * GPT-5 structured response support added * Gemini image generation with experimental models * Enhanced OpenRouter reasoning & structured handling * Improved rate limit & tool error handling github.com/prism-php/pr...

Go checkout prism-php/prism by @tjmiller.bsky.social if you want to use AI like you are used to - Eloquent style! 😍 @laravellive.dk

Just had a wonderful time speaking at @laravellive.dk ! 🇩🇰 For those who missed it, I've shared some helpful practices and resources for being more mindful when writing Laravel applications. Thanks to everyone for all the positive feedback! ✨

As always, @danjohnson.xyz shows incredibly cool things in stage - today, wiring Laravel with actual hardware! I just love to see Tinkerwell like that in the wild, helping devs with productivity AND creativity. 🥹❤️

This guy just gets me. ❤️ @johannesguent.bsky.social @laravellive.dk

Nuno just released PEST 4 on stage for all of us! 😍 #PEST4 @nunomaduro.com @laravellive.dk

No more excuses for not writing at least a smoke test! #PEST4 @nunomaduro.com @laravellive.dk

Lets gooooo @laravellive.dk

Let’s goooo @laravellive.dk

Time to goooo @laravellive.dk 🥱

Tinkerwell 5.3.0 is out! You can now define your own AI provider as long as it’s OpenAI-compatible - like a local Llama model or Kimi K2. I also refined syntax highlighting across all default themes, so exploring your code is now clearer and a lot prettier ✨

Only three days until @laravellive.dk! 🤩

I scored 18/21 on e-mail.wtf and all I got was this lousy text to share on social media. ... and I learned, what a fork bomb is!

Larabelles are giving away one ticket to @laracon.au! Don't miss out on the opportunity to level up your skills in the beautiful city of Brisbane. Enter by September 30, 2025, using this link: larabelles.com/giveaway/lar... Can't wait to see you there!

you know it’s a good day when `make:resource` is in your terminal and the Inertia docs are in your browser 😌

It’s 34C/94F outside. The Podenco still demands a blankie.

This is your reminder to: `composer audit` and `npm audit` your projects Remember, most breaches come from known vulnerabilities. Save yourself a future headache <3

I built a ridiculous 1000 pixel display that takes an hour to draw an image and I'm now asking the internet to draw on it (what could go wrong?) Please submit some 40×25 pixel art at kilopx.com!

TIL about PEST's `wip()` method - runs tests while marking them as WIP, unlike `todo()` which skips entirely. Perfect for tests that are already relevant but need extending. While the new features unveiled yesterday are amazing, PEST always makes me happy with the little things 🥰

On Monday a fire ravaged our farm, destroying most of our olive trees and other things. My husband managed to save our shed, our animals & home. I have set up a Go Fund Me to help raise money to start replanting. Any amount, is much appreciated. gofund.me/3dedee6a

LIGHT MODE for Nightwatch! Whooohoo! I was YEARNING for this. @laravel.com #LaraconUS

Wow, Laravel Wayfinder looks SO cool! The “type gap” between server and frontend @joe.codes is talking about has pained me for a long time. So excited to try this! #LaraconUS

@zuzana-k.com mentioned 12 minutes into Laracon 👏🏻

»This community is a community of makers, builders and doers.« – @aaronfrancis.com @ Laracon US 💯 to that. And also - it is the kindest, most healthy dev community that I know.

What a stressful day. #TDFF25 #LaraconUS

To all of those social butterflies in Denver - enjoy Laracon! Don’t forget to keep an eye out for someone seeming on the outer, someone needing to feel included, someone needing a smile. There are lots of invisible developers out there. Try to do something that can help others feel seen.

This makes me think of that Adam Sandler movie "Click". It's like they're trying to make us skip the best parts of coding and human creativity, in exchange for what? What's the hidden agenda dressed as productivity?

If you have the time, consider coming to Laravel Live Denmark 2025. It's such a cool conference and wonderfully organized. You'll have an awesome time, guaranteed!

We are incredibly proud to be one of #APIPlatformCon 2025 community partners! Thank you so much for having us 💜.

We are giving away a ticket to @laravellive.dk! Want to meet the Laravel community in real life? Don’t miss this chance! ✨ Enter now and see you in Copenhagen!✨ Only eligible people apply. Thank you! #Laravel #LarabellesPHP #LaravelLiveDK larabelles.com/giveaway/lar...

I am a mix of excitement and panic right now 💫

Bought a copy yesterday. As a massive Tinker stan I have no idea how I went so long without Tinkerwell.
