How can you look back and be thankful for the times you said yes? Today’s episode was for me most of all. goodmakersmorning.com/episodes/che...

Take the first 10 minutes of your day, before you do anything else, and just write. Or, in my case, write by talking. It's helped me frame my mindset for the day. It's helped me feel more productive. It's helped me hate mornings a little less. Today's episode out now. goodmakersmorning.com

I'm trying something new. I've never been good at writing but I like talking through topics on my mind. So I figured I would create my own "audio blog" of sorts. It's a different side of me. The topics might be all over the place. But it's me. Good maker's morning.

What a bunch of quality releases. 😮‍💨

I’ve been using Claude Code as my main AI coding tool for the past 4+ months. So when I saw Cursor announced their CLI tool, I was intrigued. But is it good enough (or different enough) to not use something like OpenCode or Claude Code? I made a video about it. youtu.be/KaFkkSIXdEE

I'm one to always find a path, process, shortcut, or automation to save me time in almost every single aspect of my life except for two things. 1. Family. 2. Learning. It's just not worth it.

Got me.

I talked to a lot of people at Laracon. Almost everyone said the SAME THING about why they come back (or why they already know they'll be back). So I made a video talking about it (and some of my favorite things announced at Laracon 👀) hint: so many things.

As someone who loves Livewire, I often hear from folks new to the Laravel ecosystem (or curious about it) what they THINK Livewire is and what problems it solves. But usually there are some things they get wrong. So I made a video about three things Laravel Livewire is NOT.

I feel like I was pretty early to the AI game when it comes to using it for code and my day-to-day life. AI changes fast though. And even with how fast things change, I found myself using the same AI workflow for the past 3+ months to code, create, and more. So I made a video.

I know this doesn't mean much coming from the PHP guy, but writing modern PHP is actually enjoyable. With the tooling we have in 2025, it gets harder and harder to write bad PHP code. Plus, I'm not gonna lie... I think I found the perfect collection of tools. New video out. youtu.be/qkG2ybcmpZc

You all have no idea how excited I am for this month.

Had a great time at Laravel Live UK. It was great seeing @filamentphp.com v4 being released and meeting @joshcirre.com in person. Looking forward to next year!

Caching is one of those things that really is magical, especially with how easy @laravel.com makes it. But the real magic lies in understanding when and how you should use caching and the options that you have for your specific application. Here's some things to keep in mind. 💭

I’ve been using Zed (@zed.dev) for about a month almost exclusively. I need to make a video on what I’ve learned.

As much as I love full-stack Laravel/React with Inertia, using Laravel as an API is just as powerful and can be used to incrementally adopt as you port over features or services. So, yes. Next.js and Laravel can be friends. youtu.be/MC1cHMKSGy0

Could I interest you in some types? I'll admit that I've never been a huge type nerd, but when I played around with Wayfinder, I immediately understood why this is a gamechanger (especially if you use Inertia). So I made a video walking through some of its features. 👇 youtu.be/UMqSDRe2oH8

Here they all are 👀‼️

I’ll be there. 👀

So this is the SF people keep telling me about. I don’t see any `npm i ai` billboards so I think they are fake.

It's not perfect (yet). But I wanted a way for people to easily share their ghostty terminal settings.

Last year you said next year. Do the thing.

Yes.

New space. Endless possibilities. 🥹

This made my night.

🧑‍💻

You don't often hear too much about Inertia from me, but Inertia was how I started learning Laravel and it holds a special place in my heart. So, I'm incredibly excited for what Inertia 2.0 brings to the table and what it means for the future of building apps with Laravel. 👀 youtu.be/I96tyvRdmbA

Now taking applications for my Steve or John.

How do you start a new project as a developer? Video by @joshcirre.com youtu.be/aVhRgpGJgMc?...

I'm trying to get a better grasp of how to work with Verbs (cc: @coulb.com / @cmorrell.com) and threw together this extremely simple Tic Tac Toe game. I think I like event sourcing? At least the 0.1% of it that I understand. tictactoe.joshcirre.com

In the next few weeks we'll be kicking off work on new Laravel starter kits. Here's what I'm thinking... I don't think the starter kits should be packages. Instead, I think they should just be GitHub repositories you clone. All of the code lives in your application, no "install" commands. 🔨

Post turkey laravel new just hits different.
