What are the best YouTube channels and newsletters for AI development?
I like watching/reading people who:
✅ can explain concepts in a clear, calm, friendly way.
✅ are enthusiastic, but also honest/critical at the same time
✅ actually use all of it in their own stuff
Also, I’m an adult and like to be treated as such, so:
❌ no thumbnails with funny faces.
❌ enthusiasm is fine, but no hype-hype-hype, over-energetic stuff
❌ no clickbaity stuff like “15 tips that will TOTALLY blow your mind.”
Such content has an audience too, I guess, but maybe I'm too old to be part of it 🙂
Tried a few times with AI to refactor a 3 year old Laravel/Vue project into a Laravel 12 Livewire. AI has a hard time with it, I tried multiple ways. Anyone else have a similar experience
Updated my Cursor/Claude rules with a new file for Filament v4.
Cause I noticed it generates a lot of v3-style code, even when it works with v4 docs as context.
Inevitable for new versions of any tools.
You can copy my rules from this updated article:

@PovilasKorop I think most of the issues people face is more about prompts. Adding relationship is quite straightforward and AI can learn for millions of examples. But saying something like add X feature and describing it in a way to get a proper result. Requires creativity and clarity
My problem: I need a new set of tasks to test AI IDEs.
I used to have three:
- Answer a question about versions
- Perform HTML change
- Refactor DB relations
Now *ALL* IDEs can do that, with Sonnet-4.
It's table stakes now.
The only differentiators are probably Pricing + UX.
Tried out Claude Code.
Daaaaaamn.
Seems like Anthropic are building their own "AI coding OS" with ecosystem.
Cursor/Windsurf and others will have hard times to compete.
(but, for the record, I used Claude Code inside Cursor)
The game reached another new level.
@PovilasKorop Maybe doing a small project from upwork like one of your IDE videos. It is supposed to write its own todo from spec and follow it to completion. Slightly more expensive but essentially vibing the whole thing. I haven’t yet had a project to try it on. 2/2
@PovilasKorop YouTube videos showing it has a better context awareness which generates better code. According to them. However, as you know majority of those videos aren’t much real world work stuff. Which is why I prefer your AI content. They claim it beats IDE quality for this reason. 1/2
@PovilasKorop been enjoying your AI content. Especially the tool comparisons. So many to choose from. But the issues you worked through are similar to what a lot of devs face no doubt. I have a vague memory you tested Claude code CLI but couldn’t find it. Do I remember wrong?
This week I'm testing @cursor_ai as my *PRIMARY* editor, instead of @phpstorm I used for years.
So far, huge speed gain from "click tab for next step" (auto-suggestions are sometimes SCARY-accurate!) outweighs the lack of "quickly navigate everywhere" in Storm + Laravel Idea.
FrankenPHP is available as a runtime on Clever Cloud, deploy any PHP application is seconds and without any complex configuration thanks to the team and @dunglas ;) clever-cloud.com/developers/cha…
@PovilasKorop I haven’t actually tried this, but I’ve been fascinated by it. I once asked @themsaid and he said his thoughts were stick with Laravel for web and use go for the jobs or something along those lines
Idea for @grok and X… let me describe what I don’t want to see in my timeline. Simple plain English.
“No AI, no politics, no someone telling everyone else that what they do for a living is about to be replaced, no advice from people who haven’t done the thing they’re advising people to do, no multi-post threads with the little 🧵 at the end…”

@yaplifeeu Sure, I'm following Simon's news and it's very exciting!
However, I would like to teach people technology which is already established on the market and would give them jobs.
For now, it's early steps for NativePHP, from that point of view.
Need your opinion.
In 2021, we had a video course "Flutter Mobile App with Laravel API"
laraveldaily.com/course/flutter…
That was Flutter 2 and Laravel 8.
Would you want the updated version for Laravel 11/12 and Flutter 3?
Is Flutter still popular?
Do you use it yourself?
@PovilasKorop just a little thanks for one of your filament posts. laraveldaily.com/post/filament-…
I got into a vicious circle with AI ha ha interestingly it was mixing the filament docs and the packages that you mentioned and so the code was completely broken.
