so many headaches switching from @shadcn radix to base ui - still 90% of components the LLMs decide to go with using radix api for base ui components

with llms now it's so easy to replace a lot of @laravelphp packages with custom app tailored ones

@markoilico need this asap

If you're now designing or redesigning a website, this will help you a lot. I recently curated the best hero sections, footers, social proof and other website parts because I got tired of having 15+ tabs open (even with Mobbin). Giving it away 100% free. Comment on this post, and I'll send a Figma link to your inbox!

@TeeDevh I tried running my nextjs app for few month in DigitalOcean VPS it was pure shit. Spend more time and money trying to keep that app alive than if I would just used Vercel from start.

Why do people still use Vercel? You can just buy a $5 VPS on Hetzner and run everything yourself. More control. Lower cost. More responsibility 🤔

paying 200$ @claudeai subscription to get prompted 148237 times in a minute to accept same commands over and over again WTF is this shit 🤬🤬🤬

The @shadcn drawer is based on unmaintained lib github.com/emilkowalski/v…, also charts based on v2 for a long time now not upgraded. Is it just me or I would much rather have a more 'complete' component library than all the latest cli stuff released

A nice tip for improving @laravelphp app performance. Have Claude or Codex analyze your telescope data (the more data the better) through artisan tinker and generate a report. I uncovered several major performance improvements in my app in under 30 minutes.

@MichaelDaly @taylorotwell Will have to check pricing, if it's about the same I am going to switch to using forge for this as well.

@JamieBytebender @taylorotwell If you’re already using Forge with a DO managed DB, the main difference is a seamless management experience directly within Forge. Same infrastructure, but with a more integrated workflow.

Want to manage your own web servers while we manage the database? We got you. 🫶 Managed databases live now in Forge.

@icyJoseph_dev @nextjs I thought was on canary but apparently not 😇

@JamieBytebender @nextjs Are you using canary though? There are instructions there for pre/post v16.2.0-canary.37

Are these docs correct @nextjs nextjs.org/docs/app/guide… ? There's no node_modules/next/dist/docs/ on default installation

Before I was proofreading every message, email 2-3 times for typos and now I add on purpose typos so it doesn't look like LLM generated 😁

wtf devs recommending ghostty all the time, tried just now ssh it's pure crap, unusable

@karthikponna19 From 200$ month now down to 50$. Most probably going to stop using soon

be honest, are you still using Cursor ?

@taylorotwell I've got a Laravel API and a React frontend. Using LLMs I can ship 10k LOC PRs on the API side with zero issues, but the frontend is completely killing me. All the conventions are paying off, kudos

There is another cool framework this applies to.

Apparently they dumb down Opus 4.5. It's been nothing but pure shit the last few days @AnthropicAI WTF?

@josefbender_ @shadcn base ui is great but llms still not updated - if you rely on them you will get a lot of code based on radix apis

Is it better to user radix or base ui with @shadcn ui?

@shadcn This is the way

Using AI to save time. Using saved time to work even more. Send help.

Please please update the LLMs to never create middleware.ts in @nextjs when working with v16. The amount of times @claudeai and @cursor_ai are missing that and creating middleware or renaming instead of working with proxy.ts is too damn high

Was skeptical at first to rely 100% on llms to write tests but gave it a shot on my Laravel app, managed to bring down bugs by 40-50% in a span of 2 weeks.
