I'll be in Buffalo this week for Wire:live⚡️ with the @laravel.com crew - come by our booth and say hi 👋

Honored to have been an early HelpSpot customer (and a recent employee) ❤️ Without Ian & HelpSpot I would have never found Tighten, would have never found the Laravel community, and would have never made it to my current position. Happy birthday to @ianlandsman.com & HelpSpot 🥳

This week on MT @aaronfrancis.com tells @ianlandsman.com all about the new set at his studio with a...chalkboard?! Ian, for the record, was *thrilled*.

The Open Source Team at @laravel.com is hiring! apply.workable.com/laravel/j/15... Come work with @joe.codes & the rest of the team to help us double down on making Laravel the best framework it can be.

Two episodes in one week! @ianlandsman.com and @aaronfrancis.com are joined this week by Jeffrey Way, creator of Laracasts, to talk about everything from their opinions about JavaScript to the evolution of Laracasts to modeling behavior for your kids and so much more.

show this to anyone else you know who also assumed DHH was just a normal conservative dude rather than a raging white supremacist lunatic

Congratulations Laravel on launching Laravel VPS! 🍾 Developers globally use Laravel to power over 1M websites, & we're proud to partner with them to empower that community to continue to build & scale web apps in a simple way. ✨ https://do.co/4nBSs5k

This is the biggest update to server management since 2014. ◆ Instant Laravel VPS servers ◆ Zero downtime deployments ◆ Team terminal sessions ◆ Free on-forge domains ◆ Health checks, Heartbeats, & real-time metrics

This week @ianlandsman.com had a bombshell announcement for @aaronfrancis.com about Outro.fm - he Laravel New'd it! Is this two steps forward, three steps back? Is this a "business dad" move or is Ian actually "developer dad"? Is this the first time Aaron's ever been speechless?!

We crossed 1 million deployments on Laravel Cloud 🔥 blog.laravel.com/1m-deploys-o...

Look at this lineup of speakers 🔥

Last week on Mostly Technical, @ianlandsman.com talked to @aaronfrancis.com about his plans for a Molly's Game situation. He wants to build a stable of horses! For poker! Trust us - it all makes sense.

Laravel Cloud is SOC 2 Type II certified. Forge & Nightwatch are next.

What happens when code is cheap to create? Last month I spoke at Laracon US about this very question and why while we might see a flood of vibe coded apps, that doesn't mean this is the end of the line for traditional software development.

My talk from Laracon US is live 🥳 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1tD... In 10 minutes & 66 (!) slides I cover everything from academic libraries📚 to Y2K-era dotcom puppets🐶 and why your taste & judgement will matter more than ever before.

Excited about the next generation of Laravel Forge? So are we! Sign up for the Early Access list at vps.laravel.com

On this week's show, @ianlandsman.com & @aaronfrancis.com recap the most important event that happened during Laracon: The Hot Takes Game during the Mostly Technical Party. And frankly? Ian's got a lot of problems with a lot of people.

"AI can generate code, but it can't generate taste. Invent the unexpected, and embrace your humanity" - @davehicking.com #laraconus

I really really love how many conversations at Laracon started with “hi, I’m [name], we know each other from the Internet?”

Trump's new executive order about AI states that companies' models must not incorporate the idea that trans people exist as a concept. Seems bad.

Typical morning discussion with my wife about today’s Connections

Superman was tremendous. So much fun. Highly recommended, on the best quality screen you can find.

Here's the full instrumental so you can keep shimmying whenever 🤣

Definitely need some more stickers on this laptop but Laracon is only a month away 🙏

I got introduced to some amazing pizza tonight courtesy of @johnbon.dev 🔥

This week @ianlandsman.com tells @aaronfrancis.com about his mysterious new side project: outro.fm

We've had a fair number of requests for Nightwatch setup instructions on Vapor, so we put together a guide to help get you started. Nightwatch 🤝 Vapor nightwatch.laravel.com/docs/guides/...

Just spent 20 minutes poking around Nightwatch with @cmorrell.com and his "what the hell is this" per minute was pretty high! And this is on an app he's maintained for 20 years 👏🏻 well done Nightwatch team

We just shipped Nightwatch: application monitoring & logging obsessively optimized for Laravel. ✨ Start with a single command 📊 Monitor every event ⏱️ Review precise timelines & logs ⚠️ Hear less noise with smart alerts And much more, including a free plan for anywhere you deploy Laravel apps.

Forget vanity metrics. The real test of whether an ad is working is whether people mention it in Slack. (Congrats to @aaronfrancis.com and @ianlandsman.com and the @mostlytechnical.com on this one) Podcast ads work!
