hey what's up!

This is a really, REALLY good reflection on the state of dev education in mid-2025. Resonates a lot with me, and it makes sense since this is my livelihood 😀

This went HARD 🤯 youtube.com/clip/UgkxnSOoz…

Here's a fun use of AI that we're using for the next version of Laracasts exams/exercises. Also - SOO easy to implement, thanks to tools like @inertiajs and github.com/openai-php/cli….

I convinced a LOT of folks to consider utility-first CSS, before it was cool.

POV: you just finished talking on camera for 2 straight hours 🫠

I will be very far away from it (🦘), but I am so excited to follow along with #LaraconUS next week! One day I will meet @aarondfrancis and business dad at a pre-conference event, and all the wonderful people in this Laravel community I haven't met IRL yet ❤️ Have fun y'all 🤙

Working on a pretty cool Laravel, Inertia & React series for @laracasts 🤗

Big shoutout to @tudssss who surprised me with this awesome intro. Very talented and creative!

Photo AI is 30,000+ lines in index.php

I'm deep into recording my next course. The topic on this one is *very different*--I don't know if we have anything else like it in the Laravel community or even much outside of it. I'm very, very excited about everything I'm sharing here. Definitely my most personal course.

Today we've released updates to @inertiajs and the Laravel adapter! 🎉 Below are a few highlights: new features, improved developer experience, and some nice little touches. Let's take a look 👇

We're doing another round of Laracasts Q&A with the instructor team. If you have a question for myself, @simonswiss, @jwmcpeak, or to Laracasts in general, ask away! We'll try to answer it in video form in August.
