This week @IanLandsman & @aarondfrancis make a bold claim: Writing still matters in 2026! Blogging is good for SEO but it’s excellent for establishing technical expertise, which makes other engineers and technical experts want to pay for your product or hire your company.

140: Eating The Burst mostlytechnical.com/episodes/140-e… This week @IanLandsman and @aarondfrancis talk about pricing AI usage in apps, what's coming next for HelpSpot, a Jay-Z concert in NYC, and so much more.

Two weeks until @MostlyTechPod's Laraprom at @LaraconUS! Drop your music requests below and I'll get them added to the playlist!

Carnival rides? Bounce houses? Anything that's not a permanent ride? Absolutely not. This week @IanLandsman & @aarondfrancis talk about why these rides are no good and Aaron reminisces about a very unfortunate incident involving Big Tex at the Texas State Fair 🫠

I've got a ton of music prepped for the @LaraconUS @MostlyTechPod #LaraProm, but what will make this even more fun is if you tell me what YOU want to hear! Any specific requests! Reply below; I'll review them and add them!

Dodgeball! LaraProm! (yes, @MostlyTechPod is really hosting a Prom) Oh yeah, and an incredible lineup of speakers plus the chance to network with the entire Laravel community. There's still time to grab tickets to join us in Boston - laracon.us

Will we all still be reading and writing every line of code in 10 years? 3 years? 6 months? @IanLandsman & @aarondfrancis talk through this dilemma and wonder if we're still better at writing code, does that matter - are the machines good enough?

139: High On Fable mostlytechnical.com/episodes/139-h… @IanLandsman and @aarondfrancis talk about saving a kid's life (!), Solo's big update, and an emerging controversy - do you still need to read the code?

This week on MT @aarondfrancis's got a new theory he's trying out on @IanLandsman: In the AI era, languages don't matter as much - but frameworks & ecosystems, especially batteries-included frameworks like @laravelphp, increasingly do 🔥

@MostlyTechPod My suggestion for the LaraProm tuxes. Commit to the bit!

After a week away for poker, @IanLandsman's gotta be independently wealthy by this point - and he at least made it deep in the WSOP, right? Well..... As @aarondfrancis learned, this was sadly not the case.

Does using AI mean you shouldn't care about your code anymore? No. This week @aarondfrancis talks to @DCoulbourne & @johnrudolphdrex about his @LaravelLiveUK talk and why you should let go of writing code, but never stop caring about the code.
