@shocm Safe travels my friend.

Chicago bond. Looking forward to see you all at #phptek next week. Not too late to purchase a ticket at phptek.io

Laravel AI SDK now supports sub-agents. 🤝 Return an agent from another agent’s tools() method and the parent agent can delegate focused tasks to it, just like any other tool. Sub-agents can have their own instructions, tools, provider config, and isolated context. #sub-agents" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">laravel.com/docs/13.x/ai-s…

@PovilasKorop can you checkout the satis url for FilamentExamples. URL is erroring out for Filacheck Pro

The most dangerous thing you can do right now is NOT use the latest AI tools. Period. Every day a new company is laying off thousands of people who don't know how to use the most modern AI tools If I were in the 9-5 world right now, this is every step I'd take: 1. Download Codex and build your first app. Learn how to implement a front end and database. AI can teach you all of this 2. Download OpenClaw or Hermes agent. Tell the agent about your entire life. Career, goals, and ambitions. Ask it what workflows it can implement to get you closer to those goals 3. Get Claude Design. Keep an eye out on X for visual language and designs you like. Feed this inspiration into Claude Design and get comfortable designing beautiful interfaces 4. Get the ChatGPT Pro plan. Feed GPT 5.5 Pro your hardest problems. Burn as many tokens as humanly possible with this model 5. Constantly look at your limits in all your AI plans. If you're ever above 50% on your limits, get angry that you're not burning enough tokens. 6. Learn how to use Claude Code side by side with Codex. Learn both their strengths. These are the only 2 coding tools that matter. Master these and you're golden If you do these 6 things you are in excellent position to not only be safe in your career, but also dominate those that don't pick up these skills.

@DavidOndrej1 Don’t be a troll. @AlexFinn knows what he’s talking about.

this guy has ZERO idea what he's talking about

Passkeys are now NATIVELY supported in Laravel 🤩 This is why I love Laravel SO MUCH 💯

If you didn't see last week, Laravel officially adopted @enunomaduro 's PAO package. That means the original package set up by Nuno is marked as abandoned and requires switching over in composer.json dependencies. 🙃 This is one of the reasons I use my composer-upgrade skill when I want to install or upgrade packages in a project. It does it with precision, in this case detecting the abandoned package, requiring the alternative without any effort on my part. Then, to top it off, it bumps the composer.json file with what's in the lock 😎 so there are no accidental package regressions in the future. Perfection.

If you’re working with Laravel and find yourself struggling to understand your app’s lifecycle or how your code connects, then Laravel Brain is built for you! 🧠✨ 🎯 Laravel Brain gives you a live visual map of everything happening inside your application — from execution flow down to the smallest details 👀 ✅ Real-time AST parsing ✅ Visual lifecycle tracking ✅ Deeper understanding of your code instead of guessing 💻 Imagine seeing everything happening in real-time right in front of you! No more confusion. No more blind debugging 🔥 📌 Try the package here: github.com/laramint/larav… 🎥 Watch how it works: youtube.com/watch?v=e4Fp-M… 📌 The package is still evolving — this is just the beginning… We’re building a tool that helps every Laravel developer understand their project in seconds! 👇 What feature would you love to see next? Share it with any Laravel dev you know — and let them see their code like never before 😉🚀

@aarondfrancis Are you able to send a link to the discord. Now that I've bought into the project I'd like to join the group.

@jdavidsonwebdev yesssss

Just picked up Solo Pro by @aarondfrancis! 🚀 soloterm.com

🚀 Here's another new package: Laravel Mobile Pass. 🎫 It can generate Apple Wallet and Google Wallet passes from your Laravel app. Boarding passes, tickets, coupons, store cards, loyalty cards, all through a fluent builder.

@gkisokay What about having a 36g studio

The Local LLM cheat sheet for your 16GB RAM device I pulled together a lineup of small models that can run comfortably on a Mac Mini or personal laptop while still leaving room for context without melting your machine. Models for Daily Use Qwen3.5 9B / GGUF / Q4_K_M Daily driver. General chat, drafting, research, translation. If you're keeping only one, keep this. DeepSeek-R1 Distill Qwen 7B / GGUF / Q4_K_M Reasoning engine. Math, logic, step-by-step problems. Slower, but worth it when you need actual thinking. Models for Specialty Work Qwen2.5 Coder 7B / GGUF / Q4_K_M Code specialist. Completions, refactors, debugging, repo Q&A. Better than a generalist when the task is code. Llama 3.1 8B / GGUF / Q4_K_M Long context worker. RAG, doc chat, codebase Q and A. The output isn't top tier, but the context is strong for its size. Phi-4 Mini Reasoning / GGUF / Q4_K_M Compact thinker. Logic, structured answers, math, and short coding bursts. Smaller context is the catch. Models for Efficiency Gemma 4 E4B / GGUF / Q4_K_M Light all-rounder. Writing, chat, light agents, structured output. Phi-3.5 Mini / GGUF / Q5_K_M Pocket sidekick. Summaries, extraction, background doc chat. Easy to pair with a bigger model. Qwen3.5 2B / GGUF / Q4_K_M Useful for summaries, tagging, rewrites, and lightweight sidekick work. Micro Models Qwen3.5 0.8B / GGUF / Q5_K_M Classification, keyword routing, binary decisions, triage. Gemma 4 E2B-it / GGUF / Q4_K_M Lightweight chat, quick Q and A, summaries, tiny agents. My personal choice for a single model is Qwen3.5 9B For two models use Qwen3.5 9B + Qwen2.5 Coder 7B for code, or Qwen3.5 9B + Phi-3.5 Mini for support tasks. Let me know in the comments your experience with these models, or any I have left out.

@aschmelyun I’m in Orlando. Where is it?

Florida has a Micro Center now?! I gotta plan a trip to it.

Trust nobody's opinion on X (including mine) All I've read for the past 24 hours is how horrible Opus 4.7 is Been using it hardcore for the past day. It is far and away the greatest AI model I've ever used. Don't listen to anybody. They're all bias. Just do your own testing

Handy trick for @filamentphp resource badges: use the Laravel flexible cache to stop hitting the database on every load. Shows the old count while the new one updates silently. ✨

laravel new? 🤖

Back at the hospital this week because my wife had a seizure while out for a walk 😣 Never happened before, never would’ve even known what actually happened if by some miracle my neighbors didn’t catch it on their security cameras for us to see after the fact. Scary shit 😩

Just joined Vibe Code Academy from @AlexFinn! AI has been here and everyone should at least try to understand it.

Laravel tip: Pest `->with()` Datasets vs Repeating Tests Stop copy-pasting the same test 10 times with different inputs. Pest's `->with()` runs one test against many datasets. Each case gets its own name in the output.
