@GioDev8 @aschmelyun IMO skills helps with workflows that I need to repeat or providing context to the agent only when it needs it and not by default. It helps manage context mainly, but I imagine if folks are keeping the scope of what they ask very small, it doesn't matter as much.

Feel like I'm missing out because I don't use skills, or a lot of MCP, or multi-agent orchestrations when using AI dev tools.
I'm just like "implement this feature" or "how do this work" or "no not like that, do this instead".
Idk, I feel fast and accurate so why change?

@GioDev8 @aschmelyun “..when all you really needed was maybe a proper prompt.”
You can turn your most common prompts into custom skills.

@aschmelyun The skills I use most frequently are more like shortcuts to prompts. For example, the agents are very quick to try and implement an idea when you just want to brainstorm it. So I have a “discuss” skill. “Why not X instead of Y? /discuss”.

@PovilasKorop I'm trying to decide if I should start an AI focused channel or keep my current channel and pivot there. Do you think your main channel would've continued growth if you started publishing AI videos there?
English
Confession time.
Laravel Daily YouTube channel is NOT doing good...
With similar amount of content as usual, engagement numbers are WAAAAY down.
On the flipside, good news: AI Coding Daily is growing massively!
(with similar effort)
And I'm not talking about paid courses on Laravel Daily website (that's a separate topic), seems like the interest towards Laravel videos is down.
Many reasons: I think, mostly I just ran out of interesting/new topics that would interest the viewers. After 2,000+ videos, that's pretty natural.
So, I will still publish videos about new packages and framework features, will still try to find new topics/angles.
But I guess big enough critical mass of developers now switched interest to coding with AI tools, and not just Laravel. Which should be good for me, I'm glad to be active part of that new future.
Still passionate about educating people and sharing my discoveries, just on another topic!

A little life update:
I'm joining the team at @laravelphp!
I'll be working on the cloud platform, and am excited to be alongside such an incredibly talented group of people.
English
@PovilasKorop @filamentphp That's awesome man, congrats! Looking forward to catching up again.
Maybe one day I'll work up the courage to submit a talk myself, stage fright is real heh 🫣
English
The news officially out!
I'm going all-in this year to speak at Laravel events, including now THE MAIN STAGE in US!
In Boston, I'll happily carry the message of @filamentphp which I've been using for years now.
I'll do my best to impress you with the demo(s).
Laracon US@LaraconUS
@PovilasKorop is next to take the Laracon stage. Founder and educator at Laravel Daily, Povilas is talking about all things Filament. Join us July 28–29 in Boston. laracon.us

LLMs are just so good with Laravel it almost feels like a cheat code. As long as you define proper guidelines, rules, and constraints, they can really ship apps fast.
I had Claude build me custom commands to spin up new Laravel projects with Docker and all the tools I use preconfigured (Rector, PHPStan, some default Claude skills, Laravel Boost, Laravel AI, etc.)
Side note: I'm playing around with an app I've always wanted to build, experimenting with having Claude build it entirely using the rules and constraints I've set up. I only check in to review. So far it's gotten 95% of the patterns right, and I'll ship it soon.

@ea_dequilla001 There is really no "best". It depends on your requirements and preferences. Livewire is fine but I personally don't use it. I've been working with React and Tailwind sometimes with Inertia combination.
English
@GioDev8 gio, can you recommend what are the best frontend frameworks for laravel? current i am using livewire since i wouldn't need an in-depth javascript knowledge.

Gio is back! How come I missed the first few parts!

Part 4 of the Laravel series is live where we wrap things up with testing, profile page, and automated deploys. This completes my Learn Laravel The Right Way series! Go check it out, link below!

@jeffrey_way Building this as well. I always wanted to build one that's not confusing.
Are you using plaid or statement upload?

Day 1 of building my own personal finance tracking app. All fully functional (with dummy data).
This would have taken me months of work to accomplish not very long ago. So wild.

AI is great, but, it can take you down the wrong path. If I were "vibe coding" this app without questioning and pushing back on decisions, it would've had a potential for a major data leak.
Still a huge time saver though. I'm spending a lot of time planning to implement fast.

Coding was not the problem, I agree with that. But translating vision into software was, is and will be.
It's figuring out what the product actually needs to do, making tradeoffs between competing priorities, understanding edge cases that nobody thought about, coordinating across teams, reviewing whether the solution is actually correct, and maintaining it over years.
I have yet to see AI accomplish this. It's a force multiplier but I'll wait till the end of this year to see if I'm wrong.

Elon Musk thinks coding dies this year. Not evolves. Dies. By December, AI won’t need programming languages. It generates machine code directly. Binary optimized beyond anything human logic could produce. No translation. No compilation. Just pure execution. Musk: “You don’t even bother doing coding.” Code was never the point. It was friction. A tax we paid because machines didn’t speak human. AI just learned fluent human. The tax is gone. Now plug that into Neuralink. No syntax. No keyboard. No screen. Musk: “Imagination-to-software.” Thought becomes executable. You imagine an outcome, the system architects and compiles it into reality instantly. We’re not automating programming. We’re erasing it from existence. The entire profession collapses into a thought. Decades of training reduced to irrelevance. The gap between idea and instantiation hits zero. You don’t build anymore. You imagine, and it materializes. Not incremental progress. Total phase shift. The way humans have created things for ten thousand years just became obsolete. Welcome to a world where the limiting factor isn’t skill, resources, or time. It’s whether you can picture what you want clearly enough for a machine to birth it into existence.

Part 2 (~5 hrs) of the Laravel series is live. In Part 1, we laid the foundation. Now, we build the Core Logic.
But we don't just write code to make it work. While building the "easy" parts, we cover a ton of important architectural topics and dive into various rabbit holes, touching on everything from strict Authorization & Policies to specific techniques for optimizing our code (like Chunking, Batch Inserts, and more).
Go check it out, link in the next tweet!
