⚡ We just added deep Livewire support to Flare (@calebporzio). If a Livewire page is slow or breaks, you can now see which components ran, where time went, and what happened inside each step.

Adding a bit of whimsical animations to Mailcoach.app 💅

Spatie Shares Their Coding Guidelines as AI Skills posted by @ylynfatt.bsky.social laravel-news.com/spatie-share...

If Opus 4.7 uses more tokens I wonder if they made 4.6 worse on purpose to soften the blow.

Spatie Guidelines as AI Skills spatie.be/blog/spatie-...

Now is a good time to share that I'm working on the next Spatie product: There There. It's a helpdesk where AI surfaces context and drafts replies, so your team responds faster and every customer gets a thoughtful answer.

Just watched: Project Hail Mary ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I'm doing some homelab stuff and it makes 1 thing very clear: AI sucks at devops.

Happy March 31st to everyone who celebrates!

What's going on with Claude? After exceptionally high usage yesterday, today it feels dumb and slow.

Tim ☮️ I have been working on and off on an app idea lately so I'm just going to start sharing it: it's basically a weather app for racing fans. It's really fun to combine 2 passions (racing and programming).

AI has made "ask the right questions" an even more important skill.

Resolving merge conflicts is my favourite thing to handoff to an AI agent.

I had a really productive day. Some nice things that I have been working on: - New Mailcoach version with support for Livewire 4 ✉️ - New version for laravel-site-search with an Sqlite driver! 👀

Tickets ✅ ✈️

We are planning to go to Laravel Live Japan with a couple of the Spatie guys and it's honestly really exciting. First time in Asia! 🇯🇵

The thing I appreciate most about Claude is his enthousiasm. If Claude was a human he would have said to me to bugger off a 1000x times.

We've just launched the latest version of Ray, the best dump debugger for Laravel, PHP, JS and more. It's faster, more polished, and packed with great new features. Available for macOS, Windows, and Linux, read more about our new release on the link below. myray.app/blog/introdu...

I wonder if AI will increase burnout rates in a couple of months. I love how powerfull AI makes me, but I also feel like it makes me go faster than my brain is used to. Either that feeling will go away and we get used to it, or it's going to quietly burn a lot of people out.

This image from my blog post earlier this week really seems to be unexpectedly resonating. With Claude Code, our total project time is way down, but how engineers spend their time is very different. More architecture, more QA, less coding. www.geocod.io/code-and-coo...

Memoisation in Laravel Using the "once" Helper 🚀 ashallendesign.co.uk/blog/laravel...

I had a terrible night of sleep. I spend way too long doomscrolling X and Reddit about the Greenland stuff. It's probably time to distance myself again from those platforms, but it's really hard when they also provide value I rather not miss.

We’ve launched Filament v5 and Filament Blueprint today! 🤖 Filament v5 adds support for the newly-released Livewire v4! Blueprint is a premium Laravel Boost extension that gives AI agents deep, structured knowledge of Filament, so they can write detailed implementation plans.

Said my piece on X in the Laravel subreddit, I really hope we can start migrating away as a community and it was so good to see so MANY people calling it out for what it is already in the comments.

If there's one thing I hope AI prompting teaches people is that just saying "it doens't work" is worthless.

I love snow, but todays commute was a bit rough 😅

During Black Friday I bought a KVM to switch between my Mac and Windows setups, and while changing somme cables and togling the input mode on my screen isn't thát hard, just switching by pushing a button is so nice 👌✨

Removed the last ViewComposer out of a legacy #laravel project.

I just released a package that will help you build Stat Widgets in Filament. veedee.dev/blog/creatin...

In programming there's not much more satisfying than making a slow app fast 🚀

🤘

TIL: Macs have a dedicated sensor to measure the temperature of the "palm rest" area.

In space, no one can hear you scream, but you can hear us say Ray lifetime licenses are back for a limited time starting NOW! Don’t miss your chance to grab Ray at a stellar price, just in time for the upcoming release of Ray 3.0.

You can also test fly our upcoming release of Ray by joining our beta. Fully rebuilt for speed, Ray 3.0 comes with a fresh UI and a new way to archive messages: next.myray.app.

🧑🏻‍🚀 Put on your helmets and fill up your oxygen tanks, because we are launching plenty of deals starting next week. Expect discounts on all Spatie products, with a weekend-only deal you won’t want to miss.

Also: do we know if it's DNS yet?

It seems like we can't get through a month anymore without 50% of the internet going down for the better part of a day.

We just launched Performance Monitoring in Flare! 🚀 Catch errors and performance issues in your Laravel and PHP apps, all from one platform, at no extra cost. Read on why this a big step for Flare 👇

GTA6 delayed again, the biggest gaming franchise ever could have a 14 year period between releases 🤯

A couple of hundred geese just flew past my home office window. Just what I needed on this autumn day. 🍁

I think Laravel should alias "updateOrCreate" with "createOrUpdate" for poor guys like me who can never remember which one is correct.

I rewatching The Expanse and I just can’t take Miller serious because of his fedora 😬

I really want PHPStorm and VS Code to make a baby. Give me VS Storm or PHP Code please.

Just tested a new toy 🚴

How big was the PR? - Yes

What Mail clients do you all use? I want to get rid of having a Gmail tab open in my browser.

Getting kinda tired of updating my IDE and only seeing AI-related fixes and new features on the changelog. Can we fix some actual issues and performance problems, please?
