We all know some folks who only consider reasons *not* to use AI, and others who can't consider any reasons *to* use AI.

In the third post in our AI series, we talk about reasons devs *should* and *shouldn't* add AI as a part of their dev workflows.

Guess the cat is out of the bag!

I've been writing PHP since the late 90's, and its growth as a language has paralleled mine as a developer.

I'm happy and honored to be able to be a part of a group of people working to continue advancing the language so many of us depend on!

@adamwathan Awww adorable 😍

[Tighten @TightenCo]

Polymorphic relations are great, but complexity grows w/ each shared behavior. Delegated types flip this on its head, building a first-class entity for shared behavior!

Fewer entry points, less repetition, cleaner design.

@ThePrimeagen @thdxr Probably my most watched movie, holiday tradition.

[Aaron Francis @aarondfrancis]

They say AI is the end for developers.
They say the job market is gone.
They say learning to code is pointless.

I don’t buy it.

I think we're just getting started.

I'm so excited to share a stealth project I've been working on: Laravel Up and Running, the audio book.
