Every year someone asks why you'd start a new project in PHP. It still runs ~69% of known web backends. Laravel gives you auth, queues, and jobs out of the box while you're still wiring NestJS modules. Ship in the stack your team is fastest in.
Kimi K3.1 Pro is about 3T parameters, has 1M-token context, scored 67% on terminal bench, and cost about half what rivals charge, with open weights coming Nov 4. Any one going to give it a try? Share the results🥳
AWS capacity is sold out for 2026, mostly gone for 2027, and they're selling 2028 already. Reserve your EC2 and RDS capacity now. Also, maybe that side project doesn't need an m7i.4xlarge. The cloud is starting to look finite again.
PHP devs, patch now. New PHP security releases fix two critical RCE vulnerabilities, and Laravel 13.29/12.68 fixed a critical token guard auth bypass. Bump your versions before the weekend.
Everyone is talking about the PHP problem now.
Just extra info , this leak possible come from the original leak since php5 , which is possible the leak sit there for almost 22 years until now 😱
Nearly half of developers say AI-written code has failed in production. AI made writing code fast. Reviewing it is now the real job. My rule: if I can't explain the line, it doesn't ship.
OpenCode says a breach exposed the OpenAI, Anthropic and Google API keys stored by 1.4% of its Console users. Some woke up to surprise bills.
If you ever pasted keys into an AI tool, rotate them today.
Laravel devs: keep keys in .env, set a spend limit with every provider, and use one key per app so a single leak can't drain everything.
Laravel tip: add this to your base TestCase setUp()
Http::preventStrayRequests();
Any HTTP call you didn't Http::fake() now throws instead of quietly hitting a real API. No surprise OpenAI bill from your test suite.
Everyone said AI would kill software jobs. are there really now more software engineers than in 2025? and demand is still rising?
AI didn't remove the bottleneck. It moved it to review, architecture, and knowing what to build.
Writing less code and reviewing more lately?
Search filters too big for a GET query string?
Laravel 13.35 added Route::query() for the HTTP QUERY method. It's safe like GET, but it can carry a request body.
Route::query('/products/search', SearchProductsController::class);
No more 2,000-character URLs.
