While @aarondfrancis is building Solo internals - I've started building around it 😆
A SwiftBar menubar plugin that shows your active projects agents at a glance and deep-links straight into each. Pure Python, zero dependencies.

Playing around with a Kent Beck-inspired prompt today:
Before implementation, look for opportunities to prefactor the code to make the implementation easier. "Make the change easy, then make the easy change."
Our next video with @simonswiss is up! A beginner's guide to AnimatePresence. Get the 101 on when to use modes like wait and popLayout: https://t.co/sRw0LTZiJs
To get good animations from an AI you need to get good at telling it what you want:
- "stagger this list of items"
- "make this animation direction-aware"
- "spacial consistency", "crossfade", "layout animation",
I made a motion vocabulary for this:

I’ve been organising @LaraconAU for a long time now, and I don’t think I’ve ever been more excited about a programme.
I’ve also probably never been more nervous to share one.
Different speakers, perspectives, and experiences.
But all part of the same convo.
Proud of this one.
🔒 You can now password-protect generated PDFs natively in spatie/laravel-pdf.
It uses AES-256 and runs in pure PHP, no external binaries like qpdf are needed. So it'll also work on Laravel Cloud.
PICARD: Data, shields up
DATA: Brilliant! Shields can reduce damage we sustain. Not immunity. Not hubris. Just prudence. It's not precaution—it's strategy.

WORF: HULL BREACHES ON NINE DECKS
DATA: Here's what happened: you told me to raise shields, and I didn't
Our latest series, "The Ralph Wiggum Technique" is now ready to watch in full!
This isn't just a review of the basic Ralph loop; it goes deep into the workflow, gotchas, and techniques.
Definitely worth a watch if you work with AI and agents all day.
💥 Game changer for Web Development announced at GoogleIO- Modern Web Guidance! It’s expert-vetted skills for web development based on best practices of latest specs and APIs.
It ensures your agent/coding harness doesn’t default to older and out of date patterns to build sites.
I've been waiting to share this. Huge updates coming soon to Laravel Cloud over the next few weeks... ☁️
• A new $5/month plan. We want Cloud to be accessible to every Laravel developer. Simple as that.
• Spend caps. Set a spend cap on your account and we'll either alert you or shut off compute when you hit it. No surprise bills.
• True scale-to-zero compute. Hibernation has been around for a while, but we've made wake-up over 10x faster. App, database, and cache wake-up is now measured in milliseconds. Your users won't even notice.
• New bot protection rules keep scale-to-zero apps scaled to zero more of the time, cutting your compute spend even further.
• Fully managed, auto-scaling queues with observability. We've rebuilt "queue clusters" into a new product: "managed queues". Set a max worker count and we handle the rest. Scales on queue depth, scales to zero when idle, so you're never over-provisioned.
Huge thanks to everyone building on Laravel Cloud. Your feedback shaped most of what's above - keep it coming. ❤️
