Just before Laravel 13 support was added to Laravel Modules a whole bunch of fixes have been released including support for using Inertia in modules, documented what's available at laravelmodules.com/docs/13/resour…

@wendell_adriel It’s a fun chart! It seems like there’s a natural progression of being “born” into AI. I do bump into L6 but what limits me is agent-locks. Claude has hooks to show which files it’s modified during its session and I haven’t got around to locking out other agents from edits.

I navigate between L4 and L5 But mainly L5, I think that's the sweet spot for me!

@SergioRocks I’m not sure about that. We’ve automated our tickets into our agents. Users just become part of the development process now and their feedback gets addressed early.

Ticket-driven software development is slowly dying. For years, the workflow looked like this: - PM writes the ticket - Engineer picks it up - Engineer ships the code Repeat. That model made sense when writing code was the bottleneck. But it isn’t anymore. AI tools can generate large chunks of implementation. Scaffolding, tests, refactors, even entire features. The constraint moved. The hard part is now: - Choosing the right problem to tackle - Structuring the system correctly - Deciding what not to build That is why engineers are increasingly expected to own outcomes, not tickets. Instead of: - “Implement this API endpoint.” The work becomes: - What problem are we actually solving? - What’s the smallest thing we can ship that users will use? - How do we know it worked once it’s live? The engineers who adapt to this shift will thrive.

@dcblogdev Thanks David. I've been using your package for a few years now. I just purchased your book and would love to continue to support your work. I appreciate the time you took to provide a response!

@lets_make_dev you can see this in my Fuse project provider: github.com/laravel-module… navigation manager github.com/laravel-module… generated menu github.com/laravel-module…

working on getting support for Inertia with Laravel Modules, very rough implementation but its working, some refinement to do. biggest problem is somehow getting static analysis to understand the vue pages are loaded from modules and not the default path

I haven't checked your book out, but how do you handle modules pushing views or components into other modules? For example, if you have a LayoutModule you might create an AboutUsPageModule, and when About Us is loaded it can inject a link into the LayoutModule's navigation. Is this a pattern you've considered much?

@lets_make_dev most of what I build uses, modules definitely help isolate things.

@LukeDiebold @_newtonjob Check it 👇 🤣 -- there are a few good extensions. This on is called ModHeader in Chrome.

@lets_make_dev @_newtonjob Damn, I'm loving this idea! The chrome extension could literally just be a string you paste in. Then maybe automatically rotate the key in production every day or so.

Want to use your app in prod with debug mode turned on whilst turned off for other users? You can turn on debug mode at runtime based on your IP address. This trick massively helped us better debug an issue, since we can see errors more clearly with queries in the debugbar.

I was talking with a friend today and told him the same thing. AI on existing code bases work amazingly. I’m well aware of the frustration with new AI projects. But I started a project in January and it’s been a dream. I credit the success with a plugin systems for each feature. It’s easier to isolate the AI to a specific scope.

And to be clear I vibe code stuff successfully on top of existing codebases. But that’s like me using a magic sniper rifle at a problem - narrow, focused, careful. This was one of my first attempts since the model enhancements at using a magic machine gun and it feels great when doing it but when the smoke clears I realized there are bullet holes in a lot of places that weren’t targets.

It’s weird. I’ll share something. I add a secret header param to access different tenants on a multi tenant site. It’s usually set by default — ex: test-site.com. But one day, I went to a public facing website and it redirected me to my test site. It was super confusing at first but happens quite often when visiting a “specific” website in a specific stack. Use random keys or other people might find your debug flows.

@_newtonjob @lets_make_dev You could have a secret in your env and some kind of a "debug-secret" header. This is a really cool idea I've never thought of! For some reason... still make me nervous though.

@wendell_adriel Looks great! Congrats on the launch. I’m finally getting around to my new website too. Any year now… 🤪 stay tuned.

Here it is wendelladriel.com

I wanted to update my website for quite a while, but didn’t have time to. I tried before with AI, but without screenshots and mockups it didn’t went well. So I provided some screenshots and mockups (also generated with AI) to be aligned with what I wanted and let AI in a loop and TBH, I liked the result. Check my updated website in the link below. 👇

Orca is an AI Agent Orchestrator for your Laravel apps. It uses Livewire under the hood, amongst other things. I just added support for tmux, allowing to pop sessions out into the desktop. Follow/repost for me agentic Laravel. github.com/lets-make-dev/…

Wait… so you can embed an AI agent terminal 🤖🖥️ directly inside a Laravel + Livewire app ⚡️, keep the session alive, and then pop that same terminal out into the desktop? 👀 Yeah… this is getting interesting.

@RinodeBoer What if you could automate the screenshot process? I’m creating a framework to bring the dev experience to the front end… but you would need to take your project to Laravel.

I vibe coded a WordPress plugin with Claude within one day. I didn't even look at the code once, all I had to do was provide Claude with screenshots when things went wrong. So it's starting to look like the future belongs to people with ideas. The technical moat is disappearing fast.

@devhammed Awesome! I found it earlier. Thanks for the inspiration... a super nice touch to a project I've been working on. x.com/lets_make_dev/…

@lets_make_dev Yes. github.com/devhammed/webt…

Can you run a terminal session on the Web through PHP? The answer is yes. This is the result of my experiment with the PHP proc_open function, Ratchet PHP Websocket server and Xterm.js. 👌👌👌👌

I haven't pushed the latest build yet, but checkout github.com/lets-make-dev/…

What we're cooking over here with Orca -- an agent orchestrator for your Laravel Livewire applications.

If you like this and want to see me, be sure to give me a follow! Previously I built a go-terminal wrapper for session management, but I saw a project by @devhammed to embed a terminal process directly into PHP. Took some finagling, but boy does it work great!

I just released ⚡️SlideWire A package to create beautiful presentations with Blade/Livewire only, without any JS! 🔥 It uses Phiki for code highlight and integrates in Laravel apps as routes, so you can also create beautiful websites with slide-like animations! 🚀 Check the website and docs in the link below 👇

@wendell_adriel @driesvints This is cool! I have some ideas for this already.
