During a recent pentest, I suddenly got hit with 403s on every request. It wasn't a WAF - it was a clever little trap one of my clients built to catch anyone poking at Livewire. Let me show you how it works. 🤓 securinglaravel.com/security-tip... #Laravel

This Hank Green stuff is crazy. The man has done so much, contributed so much. And we're cancelling him because he used ChatGPT? You would have thought he did something WAY worse just by the discourse.

Honestly, I don't love that a bunch of big OSS projects are getting bought up by big corps and VCs.

Now that PHP extensions can be written in Go, I wonder what kind of performance gains could be had if a framework like Laravel were written with some of its core in an extension. Seems like a fun experiment.

Another fun preview. Got timelines working for Livewire AJAX requests - and the timeline entries get associated with the live DOM tree (hovering over a view in this image highlights that node in the page):

When you look up whether md5 is acceptable for a simple checksum for caching purposes and the very first result talks about how md5 is good for storing sensitive data (it's definitely not)

TLDR: I'm working on a package I've called industry that uses Prism/LLMs with Laravel factories to generate more realistic seed data. Still need to workout some things. For example, definitely don't want this running during tests so I'll add a way to set a testing value.

I've been a bit busy over the past few months! I've still been hard at work on Forte, a new Blade and HTML parser, but also a secret project built with it! High-level, I've been working on a browser-based development tool, focused on Alpine, Livewire, and Laravel Blade.

Am I crazy or would something like this be really handy? Thinking about model binding for Livewire components pulling all the columns in those cases where I don't need them all 90% of the time. I know this could be done with a global scope or other workarounds but this feels cleaner
A Laravel Eloquent model called "Flight" with a "columns" property that defines the default columns to select from the DB.

Created a simple breadcrumbs manager that I'm pretty happy with. Might make a small package out of it. I've used diglactic/laravel-breadcrumbs before and I didn't like defining the breadcrumbs separately from my routes.

I built a thing that lets you peek into the #laravel Blade that was used to render a page. It tracks component hierarchy, includes, etc. - works with Blade components, Flux, etc. All without runtime overhead! Might continue this experiment in the future
