Hey Laravel devs! 👋🏼 Ready to level up your skills and unleash the true power of Laravel? I've handpicked 10 gold-standard full-scale guides by the top minds in the Laravel community. Prepare for an epic thread of golden nuggets! 🚀🧵

I'd been wanting to try gstack by @garrytan for days but couldn't find the right moment. Yesterday, I just went for it and rebuilt my personal website. Built and deployed in a single session. Loved the workflow. It neatly guided me with intelligent choices. There's depth in the way Garry has tuned it. If you haven't tried it yet, you're missing out. Link in bio 😊

Does any other mainstream framework come close to the level of AI adoption available in Laravel? I don't think so! 😌

@felixleezd design

Introducing Vibe-Coding for Designers ⭐️ The world's FIRST online school for designers who want to ship, using Claude Code. New modules include Figma to Claude. Designers who ship are the most valuable hires in tech today. Comment "design" - I'll send you the link to apply.

@aarondfrancis I could never wrap my head around git worktrees, so I've been doing a single thing with focus at all times. This changed once I tried @conductor_build...it has a wonderful DX and I don't have to think about the worktree at all. Tip: try their spotlight feature!

Why do people like git worktrees over discrete checkouts? (This isn't bait, it's research)

Tailgrids 3.0 is officially LIVE! 🚀 A complete React UI system with 600+ components and blocks built on Tailwind CSS and Figma. From 2.x to 3.0, we rebuilt everything from the ground up - this is the biggest update we've ever shipped.

This looks quite good, love mermaid but the default rendering always felt a bit meh...this changes that to a soothing experience 😇

Nicely done, love the simplicity!

I've been hacking with OpenSpec lately and really like it...this new release is going to improve the DX even more! 🚀

@lennysan I can’t believe this…thank you so much!

Here's all of my transcripts if you want to try this at home dropbox.com/scl/fo/wbdrbwz…

Testing out the new Claude Cowork. I asked it to go through every Lenny's Podcast episode and pull out the 10 most important themes and lessons for product builders. Then, the 10 most counterintuitive truths. I gave it access to a folder with 320 transcripts. First, it said "This is a substantial task - 320 podcast transcripts to analyze!" 15 minutes later... The 10 most Important themes from Lenny's Podcast 1. Activation Is Everything — Slack's "2,000 messages" moment, Gamma's 30-second magic. Get users to value fast. 2. Storytelling as a Superpower — Compelling narratives align organizations better than documents. 3. Positioning Is Strategy, Not Marketing — April Dunford's 5-step framework that starts with competitive alternatives, not messaging. 4. Product Discovery Before Delivery — Teresa Torres' Opportunity Solution Trees and Marty Cagan's Four Risks framework. Talk to customers weekly, not quarterly. 5. Ruthless Prioritization — Shreyas Doshi's LNO Framework (Leverage/Neutral/Overhead) and focusing on opportunity cost over ROI. 6. AI is Transforming Product Development — Model maximalism, evals as core PM skill, CEOs becoming ICs again. 7. Empowered Teams vs. Feature Factories — Marty Cagan's distinction: give teams problems to solve, not features to build. 8. Build Your Operating System — Claire Hughes Johnson's framework for founding documents, operating cadence, and decision frameworks. 9. Pre-Mortems and Risk Anticipation — Shreyas Doshi's technique to surface failure modes before they happen. 10. Small Teams, Outsized Impact — Jason Fried's 2-person/6-week constraints, Shopify's pair programming culture. The 10 most counterintuitive truths: 1. Fear Gives Bad Advice—Do the Opposite — Whatever you're afraid to do (hard conversation, telling the board bad news) is exactly what you should do. 2. Adding Friction Can INCREASE Conversion — Adding personalization questions to signup improved Amplitude's conversion by 5%. 3. Fewer Features = More Value — The Walkman succeeded because Sony REMOVED recording. QuickBooks wins with half the features at double the price. 4. Adding People Makes You Slower (Absolutely) — Companies produce MORE total output after layoffs. Coordination overhead is the silent killer. 5. What Customers Say They Want Is Meaningless — 93% said they wanted energy-efficient homes. Nobody bought them. "Bitchin' ain't switchin'." 6. Goals Are Not Strategy—They're the Opposite — Richard Rumelt says confusing goals for strategy is the most common strategic error. OKRs are often just wish lists. 7. Don't A/B Test Your Big Bets — Instagram and Airbnb actively reject testing for transformational changes. You can't A/B test your way to greatness. 8. Your Gut IS Data — Intuition is compressed experiential learning that isn't statistically significant yet. Don't discount it. 9. By the Time You're Thinking About Quitting, It's Too Late — Stewart Butterfield killed Glitch while it was still growing 6-7% weekly. That's why he could start Slack. 10. Most PMs Are Overpaid and Unnecessary — Marty Cagan himself says feature teams don't need PMs. Nikita Bier calls PM "not real." Nice job @claudeai

@jeffrey_way The initial design, even with frontend design skill, is almost never good. I ask it to refine to my taste, sometime provide it with specific inspiration to follow as screenshots, mention specific style (eg keep it minimalistic), etc. Takes around 30-40 mins for a screen.

I still find that generating anything design-related using Claude Code is...not great. Pretty sure this is my fault, though. Even with Claude's frontend design skill, I don't get good results. Do you have any helpful techniques in this area?

This is why Laravel + AI agents just works. The opinionated structure means agents know where to put things and write clean, organized, human-readable code. It scales to large apps even when vibe coding. New doc 👉 laravel.com/docs/ai

@ZixuanLi_ Thanks for bringing the Coding Plan and for the awesome BFCM deals... many of our teams are now happily using the MAX plan with their Claude Code and Opencode!

Well, if you don't wanna follow my advice, follow Taylor's! Install Laravel Boost as soon as possible.

@felixleezd @ADPList Thanks, would love it 🙌🏻

I have been using Claude Code more and more lately. Learned some awesome tips from this amazing guide from it's creator 👇🏻

People use Claude Code in wild ways! Respect 🫡

WTF! I didn't know that almost 25% tokens of a fresh prompt are being consumed by the MCPs I loaded in my Claude Code 💀 Thanks to @aszubayr for pointing me to it. Run the /context command to find it out for yourself. Also found an excellent way to get rid of most MCPs 👇🏻

Participate in the survey here: pulse.devhubbd.com

Stack Overflow's Developer Survey is a key resource for global insights, but Bangladesh lacks a focused survey. To change this, Geek Squad and Developers Hub Bangladesh are launching the “Bangladesh Developer Survey” this year. We aim to explore our developer landscape: industry trends, AI use, learning methods, and more. If you're in software development, your input is valuable. Sharing with your network would also help. It's anonymous, no personal data is collected, and it takes under 10 minutes. The survey closes on the 7th. Find the link in the comments ↓
