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.

These concerns are part of an overarching concern I have about big corps having outsized power and control in society stifling dissent and competition. Anyway, Vite is awesome and I'm grateful for the contributions of the team. I hope that only good comes from this! 4/4

...But if CF owns the license and signs the checks, they undoubtedly have control over the project and its direction. Maybe this situation is fine and there are no doubt examples of corps being good OSS stewards. But there are also examples of the opposite (Oracle being the biggest example). 3/4

Isaac Dew @isaacdew.com · 06/06/2026
Big corps & VC have different priorities than OSS. Their goal is to make as much money as possible and to keep the numbers going up. In CF's case, even if that means laying off 1100 people despite record profit. I know for now the same team is in charge and nothing has changed on that front... 2/4

I didn't expect to get so many replies lol But to clarify my thoughts, it's great when OSS maintainers get paid and a project has consistent financial backing. However, I have a hard time trusting big corps and VCs with stewardship over OSS projects. 1/4

Isaac Dew @isaacdew.com · 05/06/2026
This. Definitely happy for maintainers to get paid. My concern is that big corps show repeatedly that they put profit over people. CF just laid off 1,100 people despite having a gross margin over 70%. Just hard to trust that they won't be an Oracle eventually. Would love to be wrong about this!

Isaac Dew @isaacdew.com · 04/06/2026
Honestly, I don't love that a bunch of big OSS projects are getting bought up by big corps and VCs.

Yeah that's fair! I almost said write access. Most of my big projects deal with PHI so it'd be a no-go for me there. But I could totally see doing that with other projects.

It blows my mind that folks are giving LLMs direct access to their servers. Limited local access for dev? For sure. But access to real production environments?! Wild.

As Laravel's friendly hacker, I feel it is my duty to inform everyone that Laravel v11 is no longer supported! 😱 ❌ Bug fixes (they stopped 6 months ago) ❌ Security fixes (they stop today!) Have you upgraded yet? laravel.com/docs/release... #Laravel

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.

And I think a few of the Flux components I'm using aren't using Blaze yet but should be because I published their stubs a while ago. Excited to see how it does after I add the blaze directive to those components and a few of my simple components.

A couple big things I still want to add: - Caching of generated text to avoid LLM calls for every reseed - A better way to set config on the industry instance. Hoping to knock out caching this weekend
