trying out air.dev/ from @jetbrains looks like a solid tool for working with agents.

Software development roles grew 15% over the last year while the overall job market declined 5%.
That’s a 20% gap, up from 16% a month ago.
What a narrative violation.

I'm looking at starting a Monthly meetup for Laravel developers in Gloucestershire, United Kingdom.
To do so, I need to identify some interest!
Is there a need or want for a meetup in the Gloucestershire and surrounding areas? I have access to a venue that can handle 100 or so standing, 50 or so sitting. 👀

Today, we shipped Teams support for all Starter Kits in Laravel! 🚀
Update the installer to the latest version, and you can already start a new project with Teams out of the box! 🫶
I'm running the London Landmarks for @YoungLivesvsCancer a charity that supports children, young people and their families facing cancer. Every £ makes a real difference. If you can spare anything, I'd be so grateful 💜

first week at my new job, built a new support ticketing system, right up my street!
With @filamentphp and LLMs things that took weeks now take hours.
I know some fear AI will replace devs, I think they just change how we work, its still a tool.

I’ve been sleeping on Cursor… strange my job is to build software now and my primary focus isn’t writing code, like it or not it’s the way dev work is going. May as well level up.

I'm looking for Laravel PHP work for last almost two months now, idk if it's AI or something else but market seems lot quiet than ever. Previously I used to get clients on a same day I start looking for work.
Are you feeling the same?
Always nice to start a new job and hit the ground running, quick onboarding call followed by a new pull request 😀
Great to be back running! An amazing event to come back to, running 5k on Doncaster airport!! Never going to be able to do that again!
