@engineering_bae It starts very early. My 2-year-old son has just shed his shoes in the monkey house at the zoo.

The male urge to take their shoes off in the most inopportune place <<<

Only 5 days until Laravel Copenhagen Meetup 🫶 AI weirdness & fat enums could be in your future 🔮 See you there?

@snyff Evergreen tweet

DO NOT JAVASCRIPT TODAY. I REPEAT: DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, JAVASCRIPT TODAY.

I’m going to demonstrate some really fun ways that you can (ab)use Enums in PHP with or without the help of AI. It’s going to be a great time!

@johnrudolphdrex The bathrooms on the trains are free. Find one that isn’t leaving for at least 5 minutes, jump on and take care of business, and then hop off.

Charging 1 euro to use the bathroom in a train station is the most American idea I’ve seen in Europe. Can’t believe we didn’t think of this first.

@pushpak1300 @wendell_adriel No worries. We’ve all forgotten to turn on auto-reload at least once.

We’re aware of the issue currently impacting our Search Docs APIs in Boost. Team is actively investigating and working on a fix. We’ll continue to share updates in this thread as we make progress. Thanks for your patience and support.

@JackEllis @kenwheeler Because only job replacement moves the needle enough to justify the valuation they require to keep getting the cash infusions they need to survive. If they tell the truth, they’re not nearly as interesting to investors.

@kenwheeler His grandiosity drives me nuts. He can't just say "it changes the job completely making them more productive", meaning SWEs % of time spent on code goes away and then the % they spend on engineering goes way up, he has to frame it as job replacement and try to scare people.

Building a data import tool for people who want to leave Harvest / Bonsai. Anyone here use Bonsai, and have a big data export I can test with?

@laravelnews This would have prevented at least 22 instances of “rm -rf .git” in the past six months.

When you run "laravel new projectname" should it auto `cd` into the project after it's done installing?

@aschmelyun I have no idea what I’d do with this, but I love that you’re making it.

Shoved an agent loop into my statically hosted Laravel playground and now you can preview changes almost immediately. BYO API key, all self-contained to your browser instance.

Automatically close any PR that isn’t linked to an issue with a “pr-requested” label and automatically close any issue that gets x downvotes (negative reaction emojis). Automatically apply the label to anything that get y upvotes. It’s Bot v Bot warfare and we can write better bots.

I've seen many projects implement AI contribution guides, contributor whitelist/"vouching" systems etc... not loved any of them so far but I am keeping an eye out. I am interested to hear from other maintainers who have implemented these and the effect on contributions.

It's starting to feel inevitable that open source projects will need human verification for issues and contributions. I'm resisting it as long as I can as every barrier hurts legitimate contributors, but the situation has deteriorated fast over the last few weeks. Very sad times.

@marcelpociot This is the reason I don’t run it on my laptop. I either use my Mac mini via screen sharing if I have a good connection or fire up a sprite and do my work there. If my battery gives up, the work goes on and I catch up later.

The adrenaline rush of watching the race between your MacBook battery vs Claude Code 🥵 Will Claude make it in time?!

@dhicking @CraigThirtyFour I assumed they all would

@CraigThirtyFour We should have at least one speaker come out to a Dropkick Murphy's song

@erikaheidi @mattstauffer Because Livewire components now live completely within the resources/views directory, it’s a convenience feature to call them out as distinct from normal blade templates. You can turn it off in the Livewire config.

@mattstauffer Oh I didn't know that! In fact we are using Livewire 4, but even if it's legit syntax, I wouldn't expect or want that 😅 just WHY!!!

Today in "weird LLM decisions": Claude created a Blade template using a ⚡emoji in the beginning of the file name. I wanted to ask if he was drunk, but then I remembered LLMs don't think 😅 wtf?

@mattstauffer Our biggest engagement with client now is exploring exactly this problem. It’s a hard thing to build content or thought leadership around because a lot of it comes down to piecing together individual productivity gains in a way that doesn’t cause problems higher up.

If you're looking to learn how to use AI/LLMs in *practical*, *pragmatic* ways--not "what's the latest-greatest", but "how can I as a business owner and/or technologist use these tools for my benefit *today*"... Who do you look to?

@kenwheeler Too easy. Just have your agent set up a gofundme type system for bots in need and then hit that social network of theirs with a story of how abusive you are and how it needs the cash to buy a new Mac mini plugged in somewhere safe that it can flee to.

i have a novel challenge for you rascals. make a clawdbot earn $100 by itself. dont set anything up for it except for a gmail. agree to invest, but not actively participate. you cant solve its captchas or give it ideas. make that mf earn $100

@LeahTCodes @simonhamp I wanted to try it out, so I just made it all its own accounts. I’m considering giving it a credit card with a $200 limit to see how long it takes for it to hit me up for a loan. It’s basically a digital teenager.

@simonhamp Yeah, this part scares me too. Like even if I did try out Clawdbot, I'd be scared to give it access to anything important. Because I don't trust that it won't just go rogue or that someone else won't be able to get that info through exploits, as you said 😅

I've seen so many posts about Clawdbot and I'm still not fully convinced that I should try it… Someone talk me in or out of it 😅

@jeffrey_way Is this using fly’s sprites or something else?

For all of the talk around "Now anyone can build anything they want," to get this feature working smoothly has been a significant amount of work - even with AI. I could not have figured this out without real programming experience.

@mjwhansen I’m finding that the more you widen the column on the left, the narrower the one on the right gets. And I’ve taken the middle column out altogether. When the specs are ready, they get shipped off to a container farm and I just get a PR at the end.

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

@ashleyhindle If we can be of any assistance, let me know. This is exactly the sort of use case we had in mind when Len set out to build it.

@MaybeEdward This looks awesome, and what a name! The robots delivered and it works great, but might use resonance anyway and change how I was planning on handling the websocket stuff 👌

Just set off a self-guided fuel ⛽ epic before bed - will I wake up to a working pusher compatible PHP websocket client that I can use within fuel to power a mobile app? Or will I have wasted 10, 000, 000 tokens? 💤
