Laravel was so far ahead of the game with Laravel Boost tbh. Like almost a year ahead. Still so much work to do. The definition of who can be a Laravel developer is about to get very broad.

The Laravel AI SDK is now available. Really proud of this package and how easy it makes building AI features into your Laravel applications. Agents, images, audio, transcription, embeddings, similarity search, pg_vector support, and more. 🤖 laravel.com/ai

@NotebookLM And also when artifacts are generated it would be great to have the possibility to see the exact name of the files used since can be selected by the user

@NotebookLM Please @NotebookLM 1) the ability to search a notebook, now its only a long list, 2) the ability to organize notebooks in folders 2) the ability inside a notebook to create folders (for presentations, audio etc)🙏🎉

New year, new @NotebookLM (sort of) 💁‍♀️ What's your wishlist of paper cuts you'd like us to prioritize in 2026? Not feature requests, but more like "the size of this window is the bane of my existence" or "I dream every night that this button gets placed more intuitively."

@simonswiss Really enjoyed your laravel intertia course!

Those negative and pessimistic tweets and thoughts ain't gonna help me land a job anyway! What makes me special is my happy, easy going personality and my good vibes. I should certainly not lose that. ❤️

Either the suicidal empathy of Western civilization ends or Western civilization will end

Microservices is the software industry’s most successful confidence scam. It convinces small teams that they are “thinking big” while systematically destroying their ability to move at all. It flatters ambition by weaponizing insecurity: if you’re not running a constellation of services, are you even a real company? Never mind that this architecture was invented to cope with organizational dysfunction at planetary scale. Now it’s being prescribed to teams that still share a Slack channel and a lunch table. Small teams run on shared context. That is their superpower. Everyone can reason end-to-end. Everyone can change anything. Microservices vaporize that advantage on contact. They replace shared understanding with distributed ignorance. No one owns the whole anymore. Everyone owns a shard. The system becomes something that merely happens to the team, rather than something the team actively understands. This isn’t sophistication. It’s abdication. Then comes the operational farce. Each service demands its own pipeline, secrets, alerts, metrics, dashboards, permissions, backups, and rituals of appeasement. You don’t “deploy” anymore—you synchronize a fleet. One bug now requires a multi-service autopsy. A feature release becomes a coordination exercise across artificial borders you invented for no reason. You didn’t simplify your system. You shattered it and called the debris “architecture.” Microservices also lock incompetence in amber. You are forced to define APIs before you understand your own business. Guesses become contracts. Bad ideas become permanent dependencies. Every early mistake metastasizes through the network. In a monolith, wrong thinking is corrected with a refactor. In microservices, wrong thinking becomes infrastructure. You don’t just regret it—you host it, version it, and monitor it. The claim that monoliths don’t scale is one of the dumbest lies in modern engineering folklore. What doesn’t scale is chaos. What doesn’t scale is process cosplay. What doesn’t scale is pretending you’re Netflix while shipping a glorified CRUD app. Monoliths scale just fine when teams have discipline, tests, and restraint. But restraint isn’t fashionable, and boring doesn’t make conference talks. Microservices for small teams is not a technical mistake—it is a philosophical failure. It announces, loudly, that the team does not trust itself to understand its own system. It replaces accountability with protocol and momentum with middleware. You don’t get “future proofing.” You get permanent drag. And by the time you finally earn the scale that might justify this circus, your speed, your clarity, and your product instincts will already be gone.

@sama @grok summarise key points in simple terms

This is exciting; I expect we are going to see a lot more things like this and it will be one of the most important impacts of AI. Congrats to the Future House team. edisonscientific.com/articles/annou…

@theandreiverdes 💯

My coworker got promoted over me. He was worse at coding. Better at politics. I wrote better code. Fixed more bugs. Shipped faster. He talked in meetings. Took credit. Played the game. He got the promotion. I got "keep up the good work". That's when I realized: corporate rewards politics, not performance. Six months later I quit. Started freelancing. Now I make 3x his salary. No politics. No credit-stealing. Just solving problems and getting paid directly. The best developers rarely get promoted. They get used. Companies optimize for compliance and communication. Not competence. If you're technically great but politically terrible, you'll never win at corporations. Leave. Build your own thing. Get paid for your actual value.

@ThePrimeagen @dhh 🤣

I love @dhh as much as a straight man can love another man

Proud doesn’t even begin to describe it ❤️

@cursor_ai All this AI magic needs to be on Jetbrains IDE please 🙏🙏🙏. That would be the only definitive killer combo

Cursor 0.39.0 comes with much faster autocomplete. And even more speedups in the next build!

Kinda wanna put out Laravel 11 next week then Laravel 11 (Deluxe) the week after like it’s a rap album.
