A deep dive into Laravel Context, from request metadata and automatic log enrichment to hidden context, scoped values, queues, scheduled commands, and internals. Read more

A lovely growing index of colors, each with its own provenance, chemistry, and often grim history. Beautifully made, and exactly the kind of rabbit hole I enjoy falling into. Read more

Matt Pocock shows how his /teach skill turns Claude Code into a personalized teacher that adapts lessons to your goals, level, and progress. It creates structured lessons, resources, quizzes, and a learning record so you can keep building on what you learned. Read more

Mijndert Stuij shares a bunch of practical ways to make your terminal feel instant, from skipping shell frameworks and caching completions to lazy-loading slow tools. A good reminder that tiny bits of latency add up fast when you live in your terminal all day. Read more

A look at the new experimental headingoffset attribute, which lets heading levels adapt to their context instead of hardcoding h2s and h3s. A thoughtful explanation of where this could be genuinely useful, especially in component-based UIs. Read more

Learn how Expressive can improve a Laravel application by keeping Eloquent as the database layer while moving business logic to fully typed objects. Read more

Learn how to use Eloquent Query Classes to organize important database logic in Laravel without adding a full repository layer. Read more

A concise explanation of ADRs: short documents that capture an important decision, the context behind it, and its consequences. Good practical advice on keeping them lightweight, readable, and useful over time. Read more

Every Laravel RAG tutorial builds the same ingestion pipeline (chunk, embed, store) and stops the moment the agent answers on screen. None of them check whether retrieval is any good. But retrieval quality is decided at ingestion, before the model runs once, and four decisions there fail with no err...

How we use class-based Laravel Pennant features, with a kill switch on every flag and a config-driven path to general availability. Read more

Bert De Swaef shows how PHP attributes made his Livewire components easier to read by attaching validation, URL sync, and event listeners directly to the properties and methods they belong to. Nice piece on how attributes reduce mental overhead, improve IDE support, and make components feel more sel...

Mattias open sourced a small Caddy module that caches get_certificate HTTP lookups, avoiding a backend fetch on every TLS handshake. A nice write-up on the problem, the design, and the trade-offs. Read more

A good write-up on the ghost domain problem in DNS: domains removed from a registry can still appear healthy to uptime checkers because recursive resolvers keep stale delegations warm. The Oh Dear team explains the edge case and how they're tightening their resolver setup to reduce that blind spot. ...

A practical take on multi-agent setups in Laravel: another agent only earns its place when it needs its own model, tools, or instructions. Good piece on delegation tradeoffs, context handoff, and how to test routing before it becomes an expensive latency tax. Read more

Michael Dyrynda explains a subtle Laravel gotcha: #[RouteParameter] only reads the current route parameter value, it does not perform implicit model binding. Good reminder that the controller signature still matters when you expect a bound model inside a form request. Read more

You can't out-prompt an attacker — to the model, your system instructions and a malicious support ticket are the same text. So stop defending the prompt and lock down the boundaries you actually control: tools scoped to the authenticated user server-side, middleware that screens and logs, output han...

Matthias writes that AI has shifted more of software development from typing to thinking, reviewing, and iterating. Nice reflection on how agentic coding, parallel worktrees, and voice dictation can slow individual features down while still increasing overall output. Read more

Flare now supports log collection for Laravel and PHP apps, with real-time filtering and search in the same polished interface. A nice overview of what logging adds and how to get started with the new SDK release. Read more

Your Agent::fake() tests prove your Laravel AI feature runs — not that its output is any good. This evals a real ticket classifier with the AI SDK: a golden dataset for the fields you can check, an LLM-as-judge for the free text you can't, and a regression gate that catches a bad prompt before your ...

We built deep Livewire support into Flare, making component hierarchies, lifecycle phases, method calls, and related queries visible inside traces. It looks like a solid step forward for understanding where Livewire apps spend time and where things go wrong. Read more

We shipped a Svelte 5 integration for Flare with an error boundary, component hierarchy reporting, and lifecycle-aware context. Looks especially useful for seeing which component broke, and where the error came from. Read more

We shipped dedicated webpack and Next.js plugins for Flare that upload sourcemaps after each production build. Nice update, especially the Next.js wrapper that handles source map generation and cleanup for you. Read more

Steve King explains why Tempest feels so nice for API work: typed request objects, declarative validation, route discovery, and a low-ceremony action flow. It is a good look at how the framework removes boilerplate without giving up clarity. Read more

Daniel Petrica tells the story of how an unpatched Livewire vulnerability on a forgotten side project exposed Mailcoach API keys and led to 50,000 spam emails being sent. It is a useful reminder to keep dormant apps updated, and a good real-world example of how Docker can limit the blast radius when...

Michael Dyrynda shows how PHP 8.4 property hooks can replace simple computed getter methods with virtual properties. He makes the case for using them when you want a clean, property-based API for derived values. Read more

Michael Dyrynda shows how Laravel's distinct validation rule can protect nested request payloads from duplicate reference values before they corrupt relationship mapping. He also highlights the strict and ignore_case options for cases where loose comparison is not enough. Read more

Every shares how its team uses AI agents in a compounding loop of planning, working, assessing, and feeding lessons back into the system. The big idea: each feature should make the next one easier to build because the agents keep learning the codebase. Read more

An inside look at the stack powering There There: Laravel, Inertia, React, TypeScript, Horizon, Reverb, and a bunch of Spatie packages and services. A nice overview of the pragmatic tooling choices behind the product. Read more

Yoeri shows how to automatically open a pull request when a new PHP security advisory appears. Nice little workflow that combines Laravel Health, Oh Dear, and GitHub Actions to keep apps patched quickly. Read more
