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.

Please be careful out there and always be on the lookout for these scammers! youtu.be/xsLJZyih3Ac?si=oyhQ…

I could have sworn that one of the speakers at Laracon this year, as part of their talk, talked about the replication lag issue when using updateOrCreate. I just can't remember who. Does anyone remember anything like that? @LaraconUS @laravelnews @laravelphp

After all the good stuff I've heard from @LaraconEU, this is me waiting for the videos to be posted. 😀

Got to meet @taylorotwell today. Having a great time @LaraconUS ! #LaraconUS

Laravel Prompts will be heavily used within the framework itself. Just look at this gorgeous "vendor:publish" output. Mind blowing stuff from @jessarcher #LaraconUS

On my way!! Getting pretty excited! #laraconus @LaraconUS

Tried out the laravel-data package from @spatie_be tonight to help format data coming from an API. It was awesome!! Anybody know of a way to get @phpstorm to recognize what is in a DataCollection based on the DataCollectionof attribute on the property.

If you're going to come to the #UteStampedeRodeo bring ear plugs. Apparently their goal is to make everyone deaf!!

Just saw #TopGunMaverick IT WAS AWESOME!! I recommend seeing it in IMAX! If you haven't seen the first one recently watch it first.
