It's tonight! If you're in Brussels, come say hi and have a drink with us :)

All of the AI-written posts everywhere are making me sick. I feel like the internet is stuck in the uncanny valley. Who would have thought that actual human interaction would be easier to find IRL??

I thoroughly recommend reading all of Cory Doctorow's recent speech on AI skepticism, it's crammed with new arguments and interesting new ways of thinking about these problems pluralistic.net/2025/12/05/p...

I might have submitted another talk, this time for an online meetup. That would be 3 public speaking this year, which is a lot more than 0 public speaking all the other years. I hope I can get good at it, it's been a fear of mine since I was just a wee lad.

The Laravel Live Japan website looks so nice laravellive.jp

I've just setup a link where you can book a call with me if you'd like to chat about @hiker.dev, don't hesitate if you're curious! cal.com/adrien-lelou...

So much effort has gone into both Hiker and its presentation website. It's our most ambitious project and has become the foundation of all the work we do at @whitecube.be by augmenting what we can do with Laravel. I will be recording some demo videos soon!

📝 Our October 2025 Update: managing your user group is now easier than ever with multiple user group leaders. eventy.io/blog/eventy-...

@jbrooks.uk thanks for adding the ability to stop a queue worker without deleting it in the new Forge. So much better 😄

Oooooh it's Laravel Forge day! Gotta avoid refreshing it every 5 minutes and actually be productive instead

Loved speaking for the 2nd birthday of the devs.gent meetup yesterday! HBD and cheers to many more years of getting together!

It’s going to be fuuuuuun

So excited to speak at devs.gent tomorrow!

👥 You can now add multiple user group leaders to manage your user group, administrate users and change the user group owner through a new members dashboard. Just one of the many more things to come in the upcoming months ✨ eventy.io

Normalize typing whole ass e-mails just to get stuff out of your system and then deleting the draft because you can’t be bothered to get in an argument ✨

Current status: turning 133.071 queries into just 33 by writing a simple 5-line eager load using Laravel's "with" method. Thinking about getting this framed to put on my bedside table

This is super handy to run CI pipelines on different branches! ma.ttias.be/composer-req...

Question for #Laravel devs: how do you avoid duplicated queries when you're listing the same model in both nav & footer blade components?

I made a simple page visit tracker for my blog because I don't need any fancy tracking. What did I learn? That internet is a scary place. I get approx. one attack per week on a small time blog that barely gets any visits. It's just bots spamming common vulnerabilities, but still

/slaps roof of expiring domain you could’ve been the best side project but i’m just not ready for that kind of fame

I was Artisan of the Day a couple days ago! Just from sending a quick video to laravel.com/stories I highly encourage everyone to do the same, it's great fun. I'm curious to find new people from the #Laravel community through these posts too, as it's not just for those who are already well-known!

Laravel Shift is amazing, so much so that I can usually merge the PR without really looking into the changes beyond "does everything still work?" First time actually looking at it commit by commit and I'm learning some new things I didn't know about Laravel.

What a game! Thanks to everyone who came yesterday to experience the beautiful competitive spirit of pétanque. Congrats to Bruno Marée for winning! You get a sweet PHP t-shirt, and also bragging rights for being the first Pétanque-Hyper-Pétanque tournament champion 🏆

Funny experience in front of the camera today. It seems like it has an EMP-like effect on my ability to put words together.

Such a fun project!!

Just sent my video to Laravel Stories (laravel.com/stories) 👀 featuring Kate Bush and a couple of raccoons, courtesy of the gremlin artist who lurks around these parts and graces me with her presence every day

It feels like Belgium's got a super high density of talented devs per square kilometer. Just met up yesterday with folks from PHP Antwerp, devs.gent and @spatie.be and it's so inspiring to see how many 🇧🇪 devs are known around the world for the work they do.

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

10 years using Laravel and it's today I notice that if you don't pass anything to dd(), this lovely little guy shows up 🐛

I’m finally getting a grip on my love/hate relationship with Docker. Docker itself is absolutely brilliant. But being a noob, I was using it through Docker Desktop, and I think it’s one of the worst applications I’ve ever used in my life.

Had the most intense debugging session yesterday. Ended up fixing the problem but not understanding where the bug came from. I'm frustrated now 🫠
