@peterfox I made a side project in react(with inertia laravel), now I work a project that is react for frontend, node.js on backend. I copied all the things from laravel, commands, jobs, requests, notifications. All using @cursor_ai

Software Devs: What would it take you to change language? I often get approached for new roles, sometimes completely outside of my usual domain of PHP. In the age of AI. I'll be honest, I'm less worried about switching over than ever before. Learning new things is now a lot easier, yet I still cling to the idea that I have a niche set of skills that I want to continue growing.

@PovilasKorop Wherever limitations arise, I use direct postgres queries in nodejs

@bhanwarps Wow that's pretty painful. Is client happy with lovable with supabase? No limitations appeared?

I'm doing a market research on AI impact on Laravel job market. Any real cases of AI-related layoffs? Hiring freezes? Budget cuts? Shortage of new jobs? I asked around at Laracon EU, at local meetup in Lithuania, and online. The answers surprised me. In short, jobs seem to be fine. Most of them. For now. Surprisingly, almost all answers were positive and energetic. - "We're doing fine, same clients, same projects" - "We're hiring like crazy, shortage of senior developers is real" - "My clients still want my services, nothing changed" So those senior devs with comfortable positions and working for stable clients are doing fine, with still same shortage of GOOD SENIOR devs. Of course, for NEW jobs, it's probably a different story, especially for juniors. Some devs told their companies stopped hiring, for now. And also, devs say there's some internal pressure to deliver faster with AI. But not too big yet. Most managers/owners don't fully realize the possibilities yet, it seems. Will shoot a bit deeper video in a week or two.

@MrPunyapal @abishekrsr @Wise Paypal charges in % I think

@abishekrsr @Wise - fixed charge - same live exchange rate you can get $10k with only $30 charge and same exchange rate what you see in google.

Wtf 😂

I still have availability for freelance Laravel work. 👋 If you know someone or if you are this someone, send me a DM. (Sharing and engagement helps a lot, thanks! 🙏)

This is probably the lowest I've been since a few years. Can't find freelance work, was super close of getting a good job in a startup in Switzerland, I failed B2B sales, and I don't know how I'll pay rent this month. Worst of all: my second baby is coming next month. I did tons of outreach that I should have started earlier. But it'll likely won't bring any result for at least a month. So yeah, if you're looking for a senior developer with 10+ years of experience (18 in total, 13 as a pro), tons of skills, Laravel + ecosystem expert, LLMs expert, design expertise, business expertise, etc. Feel free to reach out.

@code_sagar What's coming?

my 28-35 years old friends in IT work 2 jobs, moonlight or do anything just save 50 Lacs in liquid EPF, FD, MF anything is fine.

@MrPunyapal I am working in nodejs now, all I do is ask cursor to the services just like laravel. I have successfully created queue, cache, request validation, commands, scheduler.

Developers, serious question: If you had to restart your whole journey and begin again as a complete fresher, what would you choose to learn first? Language, framework, path, whatever. what feels like the smartest move right now? I’m genuinely curious. Tell me yours in the replies.

@mannupaaji @stripe I paid yesterday for my @cursor_ai subscription, card details were saved on Link

Pay by Link is not supported in India. That means we lose out on sales that could've been made with a single click. Somehow the Indian Government makes it increasingly difficult for us to make money. But yeah sure take 30% of whatever we make no problem. :) @stripe

I got 2 @LaraconIN tickets but I can’t attend due to health issues this time. Anyone interested? #laravelphp #laraconin

Excited to attend Laracon India 2026! 31 Jan - 1 Feb | GUCEC, Ahmedabad laracon.in @LaraconIN #LaraconIndia #Laravel #PHP

@_newtonjob Or you can do this in AppServiceProvider boot method -> Date::use(CarbonImmutable::class);

Whenever possible, avoid trying to create new Carbon instances from existing ones. Might not be the behaviour you expect🐞

@wendell_adriel @laravelphp @taylorotwell Congratulations buddy

I'm very happy and excited to share that today is my first day as a Senior Software Engineer @laravelphp Open Source Team! 🔥 I've been applying since the first position that @taylorotwell posted years ago, and after some years, I achieved it! 🚀 It's a dream job for me, and I'm really excited for this! 🫶 I hope that I can contribute to the team, the company and the Laravel community as a whole! 🔥🚀🫶 Laravel 4EVER! 🫶

@PovilasKorop pay-as-you-go usage are under $20 for this month due to Christmas vacations, so keeping $20 plan for January also.

@PovilasKorop $20, it exhausted so now pay-as-you-go, so will decide at the end of month to upgrade for $60 or $100

Curious: if you're using Claude Code, what plan are you on?

Late in the party, but its never late to start...

@benjamincrozat Firefox for me, 11 years

Safari has always been the best web browser. Even for web developers.

@benjamincrozat Same here, didn’t noticed any of these icons

I have no idea what people are talking about. I update Cursor as soon as updates are available. Sometimes, I end up in agent mode, but that's it. I use Cursor pretty much like since the late 0.x versions.

@PovilasKorop I was using bootstrap theme till last month, but migrated to tailwindcss with React, using shadcn

So you're saying that majority now use Shadcn for design in Laravel. But it means they all use *React*? What about devs who are back-enders and wanna use Tailwind without React/Vue? They go for Flux for design? Or Filament? Or still Bootstrap? Or are such devs extinct?
