I wrote an article on how I built a flat file blog using Laravel Folio.
This wouldn’t have been possible without the posts from @aarondfrancis and @jasonlbeggs on using Sushi from @calebporzio. 😃
Check it out!

In spirit of silly software from @_christinacodes's Laracon talk, I made a way to turn any blog into a newspaper!
The newspaper style idea was inspired by a tweet of @aarondfrancis's from awhile ago.

The new Laravel Installer v5.31 that was released yesterday comes with something @joetannenbaum and I have been cooking in the last few weeks.
The laravel package command that brings to you the official Laravel Package Skeleton, with everything that you need to create your new Laravel package! 🚀
[IMAGES 1 AND 2]
It comes with an interactive configuration script that let you configure everything you need for your package, including 9 features 5 tools out of the box, that remove all the "boring" configuration and boilerplate and let you focus on your new idea! 🔥
[IMAGE 3]
A package always needs a GH repo, and the package skeleton takes care of that too, and you can even create it as a private one while you work on the initial draft for your idea! ⭐️

And documentation is important, that's why the README already comes with a nice format that you can use to document your package, and we didn't forget about badges, including the Laravel one from @peterfox
It also comes with Pint and PHPStan Level 7, as well as Workbench for you to test your package in a real Laravel application easily without having to spin up a test project for that!
Now it's even easier for you to bring that idea to life! 🔥🚀

Been coding with AI a lot this week and it's wild how much of an edge real architecture knowledge still is.
Seeing frontier models constantly reach for the wrong abstractions. Easy to course-correct, but only if you already know what good looks like.
Not only do we get to listen to @IanLandsman and @aarondfrancis on Tuesday, now we get to listen to them on Friday too! 😊
001: What is Anthropic Doing?!
tokentown.com/episodes/001-w…
In the first-ever episode of Token Town, @aarondfrancis & @IanLandsman break down pricing changes for Claude -p and the Agent SDK, a temporary 50% increase to Claude's limits, leaps in hacking ability, and more.

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

We just launched a new video series on Laracasts that covers the incredible Laravel AI SDK.
It's almost absurd how much you can accomplish with very little code. Give it a watch or bookmark!

20–50× productivity gains sound great. Until your codebase turns into a mess.
@aarondfrancis is focused on showing engineers how to use AI to get real productivity wins without creating unmaintainable slop.

@jbrooksuk does the Forge team use Resources in both Inertia and API responses? If so, do you unwrap the inertia ones to remove the unnecessary “data” property?
