Man, I really welcome FrankenPHP, if only so I never have to look at a PHP-FPM config again 🙏

My SaaS officially has a logo and a name! Can you guess what it does 🤪 Teaser page with newsletter form to be informed about launch and get early access in the thread Also in the thread a quick tutorial on how to use Remotion and Claude to animate your own logo

AI is a bubble, but too many people confuse a bad investment strategy with the tech itself. AI will not go away after the bubble bursts any more than websites went away after the dot-com crash. The tech is too useful (though not the panacea the hype mongers would have us believe). 1/3

I need to follow more developers, shill me your hidden gems! 💎

I'm halfway through Matt Stauffer's first PragmaticAI podcast episode with Aaron Francis Good stuff so far (appreciate the balanced views), but what immediately caught my attention is the positioning of Tighten as a company taking AI ideas and prototypes to production. Smart move

I need to follow more developers, shill me your hidden gems! 💎

Ticket upgraded from attendee to speaker! I’ll be speaking about the Closed-by-Default Principle at the PHP UK conference next week

⏰ It's tomorrow! Dave Liddament will show us how to get as close as possible to the Holy Test Trinity of extensive coverage, speed, and implementation ease.. 📍 Details and registration 👇

Claude keeps copying the global `~/.claude` folder into the current project's folder. Anybody knows anything about that?

Had a quick look at Docker sandboxes to run Claude locally in a safer way. Good idea in principle, but it doesn't load your global Claude settings by default and the command doesn't support volumes to do it easily. And of course,

Current AI pain point: context drift between ChatGPT and Claude. I still use ChatGPT a lot for planning, because I would constantly hit Claude's usage limits otherwise. The problem is I then make all sorts of decisions while working with Claude, that ChatGPT is unaware of

Spent a good chunk of my morning (and Claude Code allowance) animating my SaaS's logo. It's not instant and takes a bit of tweaking, but for somebody starting from zero like me, it's really impressive. Rough process goes like this 👇

Very impressed with the Remotion + Claude Code combo. Makes motion design feel accessible

Just announced Laravel Fuse on stage at Laravel India 🇮🇳🔥 A circuit breaker for your Laravel queue jobs. When external services go down, your workers stay protected. Zero data loss, automatic recovery. It’s open source and it’s live now! github.com/harris21/laravel-fuse

Spent the last couple of days working on the design of my secret project 😈 Had to design my own logo in Canva because I couldn't get anywhere with Nano Banana. Aside from that, I loaded some UI/UX skills (one official, two custom) and Claude did the rest. I'm impressed.

Tools like this always sound great, but at this stage I find it a waste of time to try anything that isn't officially supported – if it's truly good, it'll get implemented natively sooner rather than later www.reddit.com/r/Cla...

Not many people really understand what interpolation in AI is: it is the process in which folks that were completely LLM skeptics are interpolating their opinion every day to reach a "B" opinion that still has the same vibe but that factually fixes how wrong they were.

Not sure how I went from prompting Nano Banana for a logo to designing my own in Canva, but here we are.

At this stage, I’m tuning out any more AI articles, tutorials, and other setups. I need to focus and build for a while, and will only seek resources if I get stuck.

The glass design stuff really is some serious BS

I had set aside some time to integrate Fathom Analytics this morning. Took me less than 5 minutes lol. Really enjoying the interface so far – obvious "don't make me think" vibes

I am stoked as heck that there is a fresh new openapi.tools live and out in the world. Shout out to my @apisyouwonthate.com pals for getting it done! 🚀 apisyouwonthate.com/newsletter/o...

Fancy a bit of #Symfony and a catch-up? 💂 The Symfony UK meetup is back in London on 27 January Join us at 6:30 p.m. near Kings Cross 🚂 for talks from @nicolasgrekas.bsky.social & @osteel.bsky.social 🍻 Free food & drinks thanks to our lovely sponsors RSVP here 👇 www.meetup.com/symfony/even...

📣 I'm speaking at The UK Symfony Meetup in London on the 27th Introducing the Closed-by-Default Principle – a reframing of familiar ideas to make code easier to reason about. If your codebase feels harder to navigate than it should, this one's for you!

Nice one, some good tricks in there. I think these practices will all consolidate over time, be it through official features or commonly-accepted good practices

I’m trying to follow developers on this platform but most of them never post or they turn out to be political commentators 🤔

I’ve decided to build my own SaaS – and to document my journey. How far can a solo founder really go in this age of generative AI?

Got my ticket for PHP UK next month 🎟️ See you there!

Fair assessment of the state of AI coding

Good stuff

Strongly recommend Povilas Korop's developer-focussed AI newsletter. Much-needed curation among an incredible amount of noise

My friend Antoine Frankart put together a thorough yet straight-to-the-point SEO guide for local businesses (also available in French). Tons of actionable items in there

Will always crack me up how many people sign up for the gym in the new year. Every time somehow I get surprised – "so many new faces!" – and then I remember it’s January. By February most of them gone. Every. Single. Time.

This is cool. Bitcoin fiction (although credible)

Probs a good watch if you think AI is mostly bad news (or even if you don’t)

Can’t believe I didn’t know about worktrees. And this is also another demonstration of Git’s adaptability 👌

Really wasn’t expecting much but Halo’s live action series turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Shame it’s been cancelled, because I thoroughly enjoyed those two seasons (note that I have never played the game and know nothing about it though)

"How would an AI agent find out what it has to do to obtain the API credentials? How would an AI agent sign up to use the API? How would it copy the API key or a client ID and secret? Where is the code responsible for the integration with the API?" apichangelog.substack.com/p/agentic-wo...

I still think video content is a massive step back from written content.

Despite being pretty clear on the difference, I still sometimes struggle to decide whether an object is a Data Transfer Object or a Value Object. I've just realised that it may be because it's actually a Parameter Object
