Happy to announce @heytjmiller will be taking the Laracon stage to talk about Laravel + AI with the Prism AI SDK. 👏 Super pumped to see you all in Denver. Get your ticket and come hang out with me and the rest of the Laravel team. I want to hear about what you're shipping. 🫶…
.@mjwhansen and I are officially on the way to Laracon. Looking forward to seeing you all soon. Don’t forget to swing by the @Geocodio booth
Make sure to come say hi and get your hands on Cards Against Artisans!
Who will be at Laracon next week? Make sure to come say hello at the @Geocodio booth! We’ll be giving away decks of our game Cards Against Artisans, which has been a hit at Laracons worldwide the last year — plus a Laracon US 2025 *Exclusive* Expansion Pack!
I created Agent OS—a system that makes AI coding agents build your way, not their way. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, or any AI tool. Free & open source. Try it and let me know what you think! How it works... 👇
Come say hi if you’ll be at Laracon next week!
So proud to be a part of the team at @Geocodio, can't wait to hang with the whole crew at @LaraconUS. You're definitely going to want to stop by our table!
There's been some really great reporting from @CatBaabMuguira on the impact of Section 174 on small businesses, and we should amplify it. I'm grateful her latest article puts founders & their teams for whom relief has come too late in the spotlight. qz.com/tax-code-secti…
This is a great book to read and I’ve learned so much from it.
As of this morning, Deploy Empathy is only 9 (!!) copies away from selling 5,000 copies So I’ve reduced the paperback to $£€ 10. If you’ve wanted to get copies for your team, today is the day! **today only**
love to see this!
🥳🏴☠️ I did my first user research interview I used @mjwhansen interview script template to understand how Webflow builders work with user data. We’re building tools to make working with user data less of a mess for @webflow builders. #userTesting
🏛️ Section 174 Update 🏛️ Small Software Business Alliance (SSBA)'s new ED, Alex Cooke, is holding a call tomorrow, Tuesday March 18, at 12:30pm ET to share updates on the efforts to fix Section 174. If you didn't get the calendar invite, email Alex (see below)

One of my greatest fears is that we can't keep coming up with such a great lineup every year, but somehow incredible people want to be a part of the Friendly experience. Thank you @mjwhansen, @andrewculver, @jot, and @inazarova 🫶 Looking forward to hosting everyone in…
