@movie_tvshows_ Why can’t people simply stay true to the book descriptions of the character? This is an abomination. I also question the actor, how the f* someone in their right mind could agree to perform a role that is not suitable for themselves?

[Sowren Sen 🌊 @sowrensen]

Wow @vivaldibrowser this is great! Just two days ago I was thinking I wish there's been a feature like 'open tab in new tile'. And it is here now. Plus you can drag and drop to make tiles? Damn this is amazing!

@DunderMifflinAS What the hell you did with the beautiful photo that Michael photoshoped?

@jeffrey_way @christophrumpel I have seen this tool but haven't checked it out. Sounds kinda dangerous lol. But honestly, what if Claude comes up with following questions? Does it do something about that?

@instagram Well that explains why I kept receiving password reset emails over the last couple of months.

[Sowren Sen 🌊 @sowrensen]

With @laravelphp you don’t have to worry about the basic things an application requires. You can just focus on business logic and be sure that all the other systems will work smoothly. That’s the beauty and characteristics of an excellent framework.

[Taylor Otwell @taylorotwell]

Laravel has opinions. Where do controllers go? We know. How do you queue a job? We know. How do you send an email? We know. 🧠

AI agents thrive on this. They stop guessing and start shipping code that actually looks like a human wrote it.

@adocomplete Is it possible to mention files and directories in the GUI?

@JackEllis I blocked this dude a year ago or so. No particular reason, I just had a feeling. Didn’t like the tone and attitude.

A few things I've noticed as all devs write code with AI.

When you write foundational / architectural code of a new project by hand, you "feel" the code pushing back if your abstraction isn't right. You feel when something is harder than it should be. The code is telling you it's not in the right shape. Good engineers are sensitive to this.

When you're using an LLM, you keep pushing right through this in a way that feels like you're making progress, and it may even be directionally correct in a sense, but the underlying foundation of it all is actually bad in a way that either kills progress of the LLM later as it buckles under the complexity it has created or destroys your ability to maintain the code long term.

Related to this, I see a general restlessness with just sitting and thinking about a problem for a while.

As I've been working on a new library here at Laravel, there have been days where it feels like I mainly just stare at my screen thinking about something. When Claude Code is at your fingertips, it's tempting to just start yapping into the terminal and watching code come out the other end. Again, directionally correct in some ways, but often doesn't land on the elegant solution that is waiting to be discovered.

@IceYetiWins @sravph @DoingFedTime @Android LOL I'm an iPhone user. Well no solution is any solution for the lazy people. 🤷‍♂️

[Sowren Sen 🌊 @sowrensen]

@sravph @DoingFedTime @Android You can just enable the hotspot and connect other phone to it. Then use localsend.

@PovilasKorop I think it’s mostly 1 & 2. At least for me.

📣 My next course, Introduction to Postgres, is going to be 100% free!

The kind folks at @supabase are sponsoring it so that everyone can learn how to use Postgres confidently.

But that's not all... I'm changing things up a bit. I'm making a bet.

Watch the video to see more!

[Sowren Sen 🌊 @sowrensen]

I was wondering who the hell is flushing my entire local database. Asked @claudeai to investigate and it actually found it to be the culprit lol. Turned out, it is an open issue for many people.

Actually replacing `<env>` tag with `<server>` works.
