I had a Project Hail Mary-esque dream last night where I attended Laracon 2027 at a water park. I later discovered the whole park was on a mega yacht in the ocean. The lazy river stole one of my sandals. Help @samsappenfield1, what does it all mean?

This mutual markup inception is getting filthy. Get a room you two.
🐘 What if PHP had first-class support for HTML markup in it, just like JSX?
I've written it up as an RFC (with working implementation) and am excited to see where the discussion leads!

Alpine AJAX by @ima_crayon is seriously underrated. More people need to know about it. alpine-ajax.js.org/

PHP needs a rebrand.
Not a community design competition.
A full overhaul of the brand, positioning, and strategy. Done by external professionals.
PHP as a product is fantastic. The way it’s packaged and presented is frightful.
This isn’t the only step, but it’s a big one.

I made a Laravel Starter kit for Blade fans: github.com/imacrayon/blade-s…
It’s got everything the new starter kits have, just built with good ‘ol Blade.

Must watch video: @RogerMarshallMD stands up and leaves his own town hall meeting today after being asked why Republicans think it’s acceptable for DOGE to be firing Veterans.
Started making a Laravel starter kit for plain ol’ Blade. Looks like I might not be able to support Flux components though 😬 they don’t work with regular form submissions.
Just released Alpine AJAX v0.12 with two handy new target modifiers `target.back` and `target.away`.
Coincidentally, Laravel v12 was released today, so get v12 and v0.12 and get shippin'!

ALT HTML code demonstrating the new `x-target.back` and `x-target.away` directives. You can use these directives to target different parts of the page based on whether an AJAX request returns a response that redirects *back* to the same page or *away* to a new page.
I work with an individual that owns both a SaaS and a second business that is one of the top paying customers of the SaaS. It's like the business equivalent of this meme:
