in this phase where everyone's getting lazy about learning because of AI, this is your moment to double down on learning and become good as fuck

i am so lucky

it's sunny in portugal, and i'm just walking on the beach, realizing that my family is in good health, my laravel family/friends are doing great, and laracon us is coming up and we're ready to make the community happy

my youtube stuff are also doing better than ever, and life is just great in general right now

love you, life

your experience with claude code (or any AI model really) changes a lot when you build things step by step instead of asking for everything at once..

this is where most people struggle when they say AI doesn’t work well for them..

build things incrementally and guide the agent: that’s basically what real software engineering is turning into..

this is huge: Tanner Linsley, creator of TanStack, is coming to my channel on april 23 for a live interview.. don't miss it: https://www.youtube.com/live/AQOPaHHYQFk?si=tAIaN8ZPFStJL_PO

php + laravel is the best stack in the world imo; tried a different style for this video.. more editing, touching grass, and pitching php/laravel to people who haven't seen what this stack can do.. lmk what you think.. watch here: https://youtu.be/C_0XBmrubsY?si=90r9lsNfSWxfxiSA

expect('App')->toBeCasedCorrectly()

new arch expectation landed in pest php 2 weeks ago; it makes sure your psr-4 autoloading casing is right 🤌🏻

hugeeee difference between having a "ready" app running locally on a dev server and having it live in production; taking payments, handling real users, dealing with scale, bugs, support, and all the chaos that comes with reality

stop overengineering.. just use a database https://youtube.com/shorts/RnHAo5VF49o?si=CexKkY_c6v4I5rV6

just released pest v4.6.1; up to 30% faster boot times before your test suite runs (measured on laravel cloud); if you pass --filter or a test file, --update-snapshots now only updates the snapshots that match

pest's website now supports the llms.txt standard:

/llms.txt for a curated index of the docs
/llms-full.txt for the full documentation in one markdown file
/docs/{page}/llms.txt for raw markdown on any page

it's all generated from the existing docs, cached, always in sync 🫦

chat, what you think about bound-erased generics? imo, is just be best option we have as it could be instantly adopted by laravel, symfony, etc without any breaking changes; this is just the best option we have... https://youtube.com/shorts/p_3ZzvfM9IU

here's a conversation with Thomas Crary, president of Laravel.. we talked about the $57m investment, his role, how laravel has grown over the last couple of months, and what may be next

Prompt + YOLO = vibe coding
Prompt + review code, tests, iteration = agentic development

This is bad...

just feeling really grateful for everything god's given me through my laravel journey.. i work hard, but i know i'm also lucky to do something i genuinely enjoy.. still kinda crazy that i get to wake up and be happy to open my laptop (every single day)

biggest php livestream ever: july 1–2

full announcement tomorrow

são paulo php community, 2 weeks left:

• laravelday sp, 6 may: only a few spots left https://www.sympla.com.br/evento/laravel-day-sp/3384640
• php sp, 7 may: sold out
• [redacted], 9 may: follow Marcel dos Santos for news

mostly technical × nunonation: join aaron, ian, and me as we chat about AI, agentic coding, and the future of devs.. https://www.youtube.com/live/R170mOQeloM?si=szAnkzLYwlee0G8H

just added Laravel support to pao, so any artisan command, like `php artisan make`, will now output way less tokens.. for those who asked: pao only activates for AI agents; in the terminal, for humans, nothing changes..

composer require nunomaduro/pao:^0.1 --dev

all my projects, starter kits, and packages now use pao.. in just one week: close to 400 github stars, almost 100,000 downloads; start saving tokens today..

https://github.com/nunomaduro/pao

chat, see you all tomorrow for the biggest stream everrr! ✨
