Ahrefs data is currently unreliable for non-English keywords (already sent them an email about it). For a lot of keywords, YouTube results are appearing at the top on their platform. Therefore, for the current Google core update, Ahrefs may not be the best platform to follow.

Livewire is probably one of the most powerful frameworks I have ever used, but it really requires great awareness. For instance, I found that I used wire:model live without debounce on a color picker and generated more POST requests in a day than most servers see in a lifetime.

It is a shame we cannot archive Claude chats to hide them from recent history. It is probably the only feature I find missing compared to ChatGPT. On mobile, I get lost scrolling through the endless recents.

When Claude Code goes down I turn into Charles Barkley in Space Jam.

Cloudflare Registrar is perfect until you need to update the contact information for your domains and find out that no bulk edit is possible.

@iannuttall Probably a one line change would be enough though, you were probably affected by the Livewire attack targeting <3.6.4

gpt 5.2 fixed the security issues, so hackers shouldn’t be able to get back in on the new server

Also definitely recommend @mattstauffer's course "Learn Laravel Forge" on Laracasts. Did not know setting up load balancers was that easy with Laravel Forge.

I have a PHP package for color conversion (ozdemirburak/iris) which has been downloaded more than 1.5M times. It never had a website, and I finally created one using Livewire and deployed with Laravel Forge. Looks like I wasted so much time doing things the vanilla way before.

Shirley & Spinoza is my new favorite radio station that plays songs you probably have never heard. It is really hard to describe this station, but it is the most eclectic radio station I have ever found, and it is perfect for programming. radio.garden/listen/shirley…

TIL that CodeIgniter is still being actively developed.

DaisyUI has some of the best LLM friendly documentation by far. When you run into a problem, just find the component and click "Copy docs" to paste it into Claude Code or a similar tool. There are even built-in buttons to open it directly in ChatGPT or Claude.

My guess is this change came after a lot of people started building AI apps on the Spotify API, especially AI playlist builder apps. developer.spotify.com/blog/2025-04-1…

I built my dream Spotify playlist sorter, only to find out Spotify changed its API so I cannot make it available to anyone else.

@ilkerulusoy Added a hook and it works perfectly. Probably going to increase my productivity a lot, thanks again.

@ilkerulusoy Very nice for my use case, I did not know about hooks at all. Thanks, İlker.

The biggest productivity issue with using Claude Code or similar AI coding tools is opening X while waiting for it to finish, then losing a lot of time and forgetting that the tool has finished the task.

As of 2024, Antonio is the most common male name in Spain (603,004), and María Carmen the most common female name (624,368). The thing is, who named their son María Carmen? 325 men have this name. You can check any name here: ine.es/widgets/nombAp…

Spain has this amazing website showing name distribution across regions. Just discovered there are only 50 Buraks in the entire country, concentrated in Madrid and Barcelona.

I think a new Google core update is coming very soon. There was one in November before Thanksgiving, in each of the last two years.

Here we go. x.com/googlesearchc/…

Either a stealth Google core update is rolling out, or it's on the verge of doing so. Lots of volatility, and several sites I follow that previous updates crushed are coming back to life.

OK Computer is probably the best album that humanity has ever witnessed. I would send another Voyager with a golden record just to let the aliens know about this.
