@GaelBreton Meta ads

Spent £3K on Meta ads last month. Made $19K back. Every ad was created by Claude code in 30 minutes. I didn't review a single one before launching. Old way: you hire an agency. They do market research, interview you, come up with angles, design creatives. Takes weeks. Costs thousands per month and many hours of your time. New way: you give Claude Code a landing page URL. That's it. Here's what my new skill does: 👉 It extracts your brand identity 👉 It Interviews you 👉 It does customer roleplay where it literally thinks AS your buyer. 👉 Then it reads Reddit for real frustrations. 👉 It Pulls competitor ads. Then Builds a full strategy like an expensive ads consultant would. It comes back with 4 angles, 4 ad sets, 4 creatives each. Apple Notes style, fake iMessage threads, meme ads, comparison tables... all the Smash hit formats of meta ads. Ran it on my friend Tim Soulo Ahrefs product page. It picked up the brand colors, pulled the logo, and went after competitor scoring systems as an attack angle. Zero guidance from me. The creatives aren't all perfect. But the strategy and angles are genuinely good. What's really cool is this system thinks like a media buyer. It does the same research. Reads the same forums. Analyzes the same competitor ads. But it does it in 30 minutes instead of a week. I've been running Meta ads for 10 years. First time I've seen a tool that actually understands the customer instead of just generating generic copy. 👇 Video below for the full breakdown Comment Meta Ads to make a puppy happy 🐾

@taylorotwell @heytjmiller Legends!

I want to also give a special thanks to @heytjmiller, who wrote Prism PHP, which is powering some of the AI SDK's text and streaming APIs. 🫶

The Laravel AI SDK is now available. Really proud of this package and how easy it makes building AI features into your Laravel applications. Agents, images, audio, transcription, embeddings, similarity search, pg_vector support, and more. 🤖 laravel.com/ai

@calebporzio Yes please 🙏

New feature I'm working on for Livewire 4 interesting?

@taylorotwell This! I love to discover the direction myself and then let AI do the boring stuff

A few things I've noticed as all devs write code with AI. When you write foundational / architectural code of a new project by hand, you "feel" the code pushing back if your abstraction isn't right. You feel when something is harder than it should be. The code is telling you it's not in the right shape. Good engineers are sensitive to this. When you're using an LLM, you keep pushing right through this in a way that feels like you're making progress, and it may even be directionally correct in a sense, but the underlying foundation of it all is actually bad in a way that either kills progress of the LLM later as it buckles under the complexity it has created or destroys your ability to maintain the code long term. Related to this, I see a general restlessness with just sitting and thinking about a problem for a while. As I've been working on a new library here at Laravel, there have been days where it feels like I mainly just stare at my screen thinking about something. When Claude Code is at your fingertips, it's tempting to just start yapping into the terminal and watching code come out the other end. Again, directionally correct in some ways, but often doesn't land on the elegant solution that is waiting to be discovered.

@tillythecoder @taylorotwell I think the process and thinking are even more important than the result.

@taylorotwell Pair programming for 10m, or ask someone to build something live on interview. In my current company I built a todo app during the interview in Laravel, went over and explained the process and my thinking behind the actions I took.

Coding interviews for *anyone* complete waste of time imo. Pair program with me for 10 minutes. I’ll know if you’re good or bad.

@taylorotwell I think this also gives the best feeling how well working together would go. Says something about their skill, but maybe even more something about their soft skills. Interesting idea!

@simonhamp Get well soon!
