Ask me about JavaScript, PHP & Dart.

[Hammed Oyedele @devhammed]

Can I automate browsers with AI???

Can I automate email replies with AI???

Can I sleep at night peacefully, knowing fully well that there is something constantly monitoring the platforms under my care are running through scheduled checks?

Can I monitor that particular online store for discounts on products I would love to buy???

I answered YES to these questions and many more with my first personal project!

I'm calling it Flowshub for now, but that is still open for changes.

Watch this space for the final launch!

The full editor in all its glory.

Anything inside {{ }} is a valid JavaScript expression.

I can't believe I'm starting 2026 by writing a template engine with its editor.

😅😅😅😅

[Hammed Oyedele @devhammed]

@patrickaigbogun I still believe the problem here is how you are trying to fight the framework.

Laravel is very customizable in a way that even upgrades will be a breeze but that's if you do things in the Laravel way.

[Hammed Oyedele @devhammed]

Another day to remind you not to fight the framework!

[Punyapal Shah @MrPunyapal]

Laravel developers eventually learn this:

The best architecture is the one your team can understand 6 months later.

Not the one that looks impressive today.

[Hammed Oyedele @devhammed]

This is not a "Laravel" problem.

A framework is meant to be opinionated else it will lose focus and I believe beginners won't really bother about customizing the framework defaults, you are talking from the point of view of someone that has worked with their own curated list of libraries instead.

[Hammed Oyedele @devhammed]

@patrickaigbogun Well, that's another option because going against the framework will always bite back in the future especially when you have too many customizations, then upgrading becomes a problem.

Just playing around with DNS resolving with the NetDns2 PHP library and Manager pattern in Laravel.

[Hammed Oyedele @devhammed]

@patrickaigbogun You have to unlearn what you already know once you have decided to go with a "framework".

[Hammed Oyedele @devhammed]

It seems @Spotify DJ X is experiencing memory loss???

It has literally been playing things off my usual vibe since morning.

No shades to these people, but I wonder when I started listening to them???

What happened to Seyi Vibez, Olamide, Muyeez, Famous Pluto, T.I. Blaze and the rest???

[m@ttias ⚡️ @mattiasgeniar]

Alrighty then, made a PR to laravel/framework and within 30 minutes @taylorotwell merges it 🔥 https://t.co/lORqmSg3Qr

[Freek Van der Herten @freekmurze]

😵‍💫 At Oh Dear, we ran into a tricky DNS edge case while improving our monitoring. My colleague Mattias did a great job digging 🥁 into it and wrote up both the problem and how we're addressing it

The gist: A domain can be removed from a registry and still appear healthy to uptime checkers for days, because recursive resolvers can keep stale delegations warm.

[Alexandre Daubois @alexdaubois]

Generators vs Fibers in #PHP: both suspend execution, totally different mechanism.

Generator: saves ONE execute_data frame. Yield pauses it, ->next() resumes. One level deep.

Fiber: saves the ENTIRE call stack. Suspend from 10 levels deep!

Generator = stackless coroutine. Fiber = stackful coroutine.

Java deployment took only 1 minute 14s to build and deploy live on @pxxl_space new version!!

[Hammed Oyedele @devhammed]

@TosinOlugbenga Eloquent 🙂🙂🙂

[Josh Hanley 🇦🇺 @_joshhanley]

We've just tagged new versions of Livewire, v3.8.1 and v4.3.1, with a fix to handle this error `Unable to find component: [page.component]` being triggered by bots!

Conditional nested validation in @laravelphp ...

[Hammed Oyedele @devhammed]

@patrickaigbogun @honour_can_code @pxxl_space Exactly!

But Nixpacks is now in maintenance mode and they recommend Railpack instead.

[Hammed Oyedele @devhammed]

@honour_can_code @patrickaigbogun @pxxl_space I see but yeah, use FrankenPHP for PHP/Laravel projects, it has been adopted by The PHP Foundation as the official runtime.

[Hammed Oyedele @devhammed]

@honour_can_code @patrickaigbogun @pxxl_space Worth noting that you can also use FrankenPHP with Buildpack but you will need to write a custom Dockerfile while in Railpack, your customizations can be done by just adding the Caddyfile or php.ini to the project root.

[Hammed Oyedele @devhammed]

It's basically Caddy with PHP runtime built-in.

It has two modes:

- Traditional (Something like NGINX and Apache that starts up PHP for every new request and tear down after response)
- Worker (something like Node.js & Go that keeps the application warm in memory while waiting for requests)

And the best part is that all features of Caddy like On-demand TLS are still available and can be configured dynamically from PHP.

The gap between having an idea and putting it in front of real users keeps getting smaller.

If there's a side project you've been sitting on, build it.

If you've never tried Laravel and want to give it a shot, we made a prompt for you to paste into your agent. It tells the agent how to get started with Laravel, and even how to install PHP if necessary: https://t.co/VvqEH7MOYa
