⚡ We just added deep Livewire support to Flare (@calebporzio). If a Livewire page is slow or breaks, you can now see which components ran, where time went, and what happened inside each step.
Livewire performance dashboard shows component metrics, including invocation counts, runtime details, and response times for various components.

If Opus 4.7 uses more tokens I wonder if they made 4.6 worse on purpose to soften the blow.

Now is a good time to share that I'm working on the next Spatie product: There There. It's a helpdesk where AI surfaces context and drafts replies, so your team responds faster and every customer gets a thoughtful answer.
A helpdesk interface displays support tickets with details about issues, assignments, and urgent tags, emphasizing efficient customer service.

Tim ☮️ I have been working on and off on an app idea lately so I'm just going to start sharing it: it's basically a weather app for racing fans. It's really fun to combine 2 passions (racing and programming).

The thing I appreciate most about Claude is his enthousiasm. If Claude was a human he would have said to me to bugger off a 1000x times.

I wonder if AI will increase burnout rates in a couple of months. I love how powerfull AI makes me, but I also feel like it makes me go faster than my brain is used to. Either that feeling will go away and we get used to it, or it's going to quietly burn a lot of people out.

This image from my blog post earlier this week really seems to be unexpectedly resonating. With Claude Code, our total project time is way down, but how engineers spend their time is very different. More architecture, more QA, less coding. www.geocod.io/code-and-coo...
A simple graphic showing engineering projects before and after using AI. Above, scoping is approximately 10% of the time, coding 80%, and QA 10%. After, the total time is reduced by about half, and scoping is 40%, coding is 20%, and QA is 40%

I had a terrible night of sleep. I spend way too long doomscrolling X and Reddit about the Greenland stuff. It's probably time to distance myself again from those platforms, but it's really hard when they also provide value I rather not miss.

Said my piece on X in the Laravel subreddit, I really hope we can start migrating away as a community and it was so good to see so MANY people calling it out for what it is already in the comments.
Blessing in disguise, X is ran (and it's algorithms tuned by the demands of) a man who openly threw a nazi salute on stage at a US political event, has helped undermine democratic process with his money, and recently has allowed his Grok AI bot to create child abuse images, and wouldn't stop until nation-level governments threatened bans and action that would hit it's bottom line.

Most people who refuse to move to other places like Bluesky have used the excuse that they would lose their community, but I notice a heavy group of those people who give that excuse have a paid X account, and are therefore making money from engagement, so are likely not wanting to lose their income, however small.

I get that leaving X would be seen as a 'political' move by Laravel's team, therefore they're unlikely to do it as a statement piece, but I think if enough people leave X and go to other platforms, engagement and audience numbers will drop to a place where it's natural to move to those other platforms or find better ways to engage with the community.

You don't, or shouldn't, have to be 'political' to see that X is a heinous platform. It saddens me massively as well, I was on the original Twitter "back in the day", I met loads of devs there, i got my first job there. Such a shame.

If there's one thing I hope AI prompting teaches people is that just saying "it doens't work" is worthless.

I think Laravel should alias "updateOrCreate" with "createOrUpdate" for poor guys like me who can never remember which one is correct.
